Excerpt from Advice and Advisers: Three Essays on the Value of Foreign Advice in the Internal Development of China

This model district idea is not new: though with Putnam Weale it may be original. The writer remembers the late Sir Robert Hart, while still a young man, saying I would give up the Inspectorate of Customs to-morrow if the Chinese Government would make me a District Magistrate with adequate powers. I believe I could work out a model district: in time I might get a chance of making a model fit and perhaps in the end a model sheng. There is a certain fascination in thinking out what Sir Robert might have done and what benefit China would have derived, if his wish could have been realized.
