Young Lama Priest in Peitzumiao in Inner Mongolia in 1936, the oldest son is heir to the family, but other sons are put in Lama Temples at 6 years of age. This custom is accepted as an obligation and an honour. In the morning and in the evening, daily, the priests of all ages join in a chorus of incantations, presenting a medley of voices of varying keys. The young priest in the picture is in the regular robe of his creed, with a cap looking like a cock'scomb. He has a splendid physique, an intelligent countenance and looks a fine boy. What he might is if permitted to quite the sedate life of a Lama priest and to work actively in a progressive community? (AP Photo)
