The press of Febmary 5 contained this: "Pekin, Feb. 4, 1906. Yuan Shi Kai, viceroy of Chili province has discharged Professor C. D. Tenney, the foreign director of education, who organized the new school system in this province and within three years made it a model for the empire. Strong opposition has arisen lately to foreign mangement of the schools, and particularly against Doctor Tenney, because he is an American. Yuan Shi Kai told Doctor Tenney that he appreciated his work, but Yuan Shi Kai has so many enemies that he could not afford to keep him at Canton because he is an American. Professor Tenney was an appointee of Yuan Shi Kai and started the construction of the college at Paotingfu, the seat of the viceroy. In July. 1900, at the time of the 'Boxer' uprising, Doctor Tenney was resident of the University of Tientsin. He became angry over the nightly entertainments given by the higher officers of the allied troops and the delay to march on Pekin, offering to guide the army thither.”

The news despatches of April 10 add this; Yuan Shi Kai, Viceroy of Chi-Li province, who was forced by the pressure of the antiforeign faction to accept the resignation of Professor C. D. Tenney, foreign director of education, on February 5, last, has now given Tenney an important mission abroad. For the next four years he will act as superintendent of all Chinese students in America and England, numbering now just about 400. Tenney will soon start for America with sixty students, who will enter Eastern colleges.
