Students Returning to China.

s. ,. Poet. Augusi l6
Twenty-Five OF the Chinese young men
who have been studying at Hartford.
and Who have been recalled to the Orient.
arrived last night. and Immediately took
up quarters at the Palace. One OF their
number, W. b. Tong. thus explains the
reasons for their recall: The Chinese
government some years ago. with Q view
OF stimulating the young men In the gov.
eminent schools to close application to
study and Of slsvsting the educational
standard, resolved to offer as an inosn-
tive . series OF competitive examinations.
Those who showed the greatest prohcien-
cy we're to be allowed to study abroad.
The main subjects were English and
Chinese literature. Gentlemsnly deport-
msnt was also an indispensable factor.
In this way tho idea Of sending Chinese
students abroad was carried into prao.
tios and continued until the present
time. The cause OF the Withdrawal OF
these students arises from the increased
want Of practical engineers as well a.
skilled tslegrsphio operators. who knew
Chinese and English. Another reason
was the desire OF the Chinese govern
mcnt to secure Q military education for
for young men, which Was found impos-
sibls In this country. The Chinese Con.
sultate in this city practically deny oil
knowledge OF the intention OF the Chi.
ness government in recalling his young
men,
