| A Chinese lesson being held at the CEM Headquarters. At regular intervals the youths received instruction in Chinese at the CEM’s headquarters located at 400 Collins St. in Hartford, CT. The building was comfortable and well-appointed, but to many of the boys it was “The Hell House” where they were forced to memorize and recite the Confucian classics under a Chinese tutor using the traditional pedagogy and its strict rules of conduct. |
