third aud fourth of this little group oi
japanese students have distinguished
themselves by making some very trying
experiments IN organic chemistry IN the
laboratory of P,of Hoffman, the fore
most of living German chemists.
These examples show that the Japan
csc are not only capable Of initiating and
learning, but of applying what they
learn, and bringing to it the aid Of indie
pendent thought.
The number Of Japanese young men
who resort to America and Europe to re-.
ceive an education increases rapidly year
'ty year; and i, is likely that, before very
long, they will be seen in plumbers at al
most every important seat of learning on
both continents. Many of these students
are sent abroad and receive their educa.
ton at the expense of the japanese Gov
eminent, and there is very god reason
why the G 'vernment should make this
outlay. Fur some years the empire has
been in the habit of employing in it,
public service number Of experienced
Americans aud Englishmrn, who have
been engaged in organizing the various
departments, such rs the pOst-otlice, the
~ar-otfice, aud the treasury, after the
Western model.
This corps Of foreign officials is, how
ever, very expensive to the Japanese, for
its members demand large salaries, which
the Japanese, who are poor, Can ill afford
to pay.
The main object Of sending young men
to Europe and America is to enable them
in time to replace the highiy.paid for
eigners in the employ Of the Government.
Tbeir services will 10 less costly, and it
will no doubt be Of advantage to have
thoroughly.trained natives holding the
high Offices of trust and honor III the
state.
The general result Of this policy will
be to bring the Asiatic nations more in
sympathy with the highly.civi'ized peo-
pies OF the West; ana probably to foster
the introduction into Cnina aud Japan
both of the material Improvements and
the educational systems Of America anu
Europe.-Youth Companion.
