A Chinese school.
From the London News.l

From the London News.
Education begins at very early age
in China, and one meets very small
dumpy boys in the street on the way TO
school, with an armful of books, the
satchel being piece of blue cloth
entered a school the other day; they are
easily distinguished from the noise of
voices proceeding from them and found
an old man with about twenty pupils.
The boys do not sit on forms, as in Eng
land; there were number of small Ia
bles, each with boy sitting at them.
A very prominent object was a large
new coffin, which the school.master had
evidently provided to be ready when he
should require it. 1t was decorated at
the end with piece of bright red pa
per, and the character Shin upon it,
which is used as a symbol for happiness.
This would indicate that they have not
the same sepulchral and dismal ideas in
connection with coffin that we have. A
school is very noisy place; all the
boys are bawling at the same time at
the very tops of their voices. They do
this to get by heart the books which they
are reading, and when they have done
so they come to the school master, and,
standing with their backs to him so that
they cannot see the book in the masters
hand, they repeat what they have
learned. 1t is system Of examining,
in which the boy with the best memory
will stand highest, and this seems to be
the Chinese plan all through in educa-
ton. l was rather astonished to find
that instead of horn.books those little
fellows we're reading the Chinese elias
sizes. One boy was pointed out to me as
reading Mencius; and whoever at last
gets the most of these works by heart is
the best scholar. Imagine boys at home
in village school, reading Plato, Ho-
mer, or Milton, and being able to repeat
them by memory, and you will realize
the Chinese mode Of education.

Amateur TheatrIcaIa.

The amateur performances of Bulwer' s
Riohelieu, at the Grand Opera House, on
the 10th and 18th of next month, will
attract large audiences, The costumes
to be worn are rich, and have been
gotten up expressly for the occasion, and
are historically correct as to the times
of Louis XIII. The managers of the
Opera House have kindly agreed to
furnish the House free of charge, in view
of the object of the enterprising anna
tours, who desire to raise a fund for the
purpose of erecting the Court Square
fountain. The scenic effect of the rep
reservations will be equal to that Of the

time since. The public will not fail to
appreciate the efforts Of the gentlemen
originating the scheme.
