1. as very few Westerners have ever seen a Chinese or Arab school in progress, it is very easy for them to miss the scene when one says Chinese School. The term has been used to designate an action where an instructor or officer, with a pointer, stands up before an assembled class and taps a chart or org board and says each part of it. A Chinese class sings out in unison (all together) in response to the teacher. They participate! Chinese School, then, is an action of class vocal participation. It is a very lively, loud affair. It sounds like chanting. It is essentially a system that establishes instant thought responses so that the student, given "2 x 2" thinks instantly "4." You could teach the laws of listing and nulling, The Auditor's Code, axioms and so on in this way. There are two steps in such teaching. (a) the instructor taps and says what it is, then asks the class what it is and they chant the answer; (b) when the class has learned by being told and repeating, the instructor now taps with the pointer and asks and the class chants the correct answer. Anything can be taught by Chinese School that is to be learned by rote; (HCO PL 13 May 72)

2. staff or div staff all together in front of a big org board chanting together the hats, duties, and products of the org as visible on the org board. (HCO PL 9 Mar 72 III)

3. an answering chorus of responses to a teacher's questions, the teacher standing by an org board or chart with a pointer. (HCO PL 14 May 70) - v. to teach staffs by repetition and demonstration. (LRH ED 53 INT)
