The treasury building, Canton Canton, one of the most progressive cities in China, was a commercial center when Rome was at the height of its glory. The domed building is one of the new government buildings, the Treasury. A feature of interest in this is the new building going up at the left. The front of the structure is covered by a lacework of scaffolding made of bamboo poles. Not a nail is used in the erection of these scaffoldings as they are tied together with ropes of rattan. This method is used on all the modern buildings now springing up in Canton. The modern Chinese skyscrapers are built entirely by human endeavor.

"My mother said she was surprised, shocked and pleased when my father said, 'let's go to China,'" Garrison recalled.
"They enjoyed it."
The parents were able to make a side trip to visit a Chinese school. They also told him how intensive agriculture is in China. "Every part of the land is used, nothing seems to be wasted," Garrison recalled his mother's words.
