【正文】 hose who can pay. Also connected with the question of money is whether the child should go to a boarding school or live at home. Then there is the question of what the child should do at school. Should it be a school whose curriculum lays emphasis, for instance, on necessary skills, such as reading, writing and mathematics, or one which pays more attention to developing the child’s personality, morally, emotionally and socially.

It is widely accepted that China is a country faced with severe water shortages. Insufficient water resources have slowed agricultural development.
