Girls' class, Syen Chin, Korea (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Art Siegel said:

  This is probably from what is now known in English as Sonchon or Sonch’on, North Korea, a town and county in the far northwest of the country. It was also spelled Sen Sen, Syen Shun, Syen Chun and a few other variations in early 20th century publications. A 1917 report on Protestant missionary activity describes it: "Syen Chun is our northernmost Station in Korea situated 100 miles northwest of Pyeng Yang in the thickly populated country which borders on the Yellow Sea." books.google.com/books?id=zYJEAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA5-PA211&a... map: mapcarta.com/16085174 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonchon_County see also: books.google.com/books?id=h2gwAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA196&d... books.google.com/books?id=Xw7PAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA129&l...
