School Life in China.

Very much is thought of education in
China, and if poor boy take literary
honoTs, he can fill as high 4 position ass
though lie were a boy Of rank. All boys,
especially III the south Of China, are ex-
pected to go to school, but beside the
mission schools there are not many for
girls
\ tutor has not only to teach boys
how to read and write, bat Volitcness
forms the basis Of Chinese education,
and the many ceremonies belonging both
to public and private life have to be
learned at school. Very much trouble
is also taken with the writing lessons.
IAN elegant pencil being thought of
great consequence, and all the mistakes
made III the writing lesson the master
corrects with red ink. Like boys OF
Japan, the Chinese learn their lessons
out lOud, and sometimes make n great
clatter il the SchCOlrOOm while doing SO.
But boys may not talk together in school,
and to prevent their doing this The desks
are arranged sO.1e distance from one an
other. When It lesson IS known the boy
takes his book to the master, bows, turns
his back, and repeats it. This is called
JJtJ'ffs'f' u J.tClAiLl{S tilt 'tDA, tlll'N -
to prevent the boy from reading the les
son, which the large characters would
make it very easy for him to 10.
The way the Chinese are taught is ON
a very different system from ours They
learn by heart first, and then have ex-
planned to them what they have learned.
Their first lesson is on 1ilial piety, and
throughout life the Chinese boy and girl,
and man and woman are noted for their
love toward parents. They then learn
heSacred TrimetricaI book, which treats
OF the nature OF man, modes OF clUca-
ton. social duties, and many other things.
Next come the four classical books, and
then the five sacred, so when Chinese
boys go to school they are well set to
work. Unlike the japanese, however,
they 90 not think that they have any
thing left to learn from other nations

4 Self Made Man.
HOW a CANDIDATE CAME TO GRIEF WHILE

their early days. A ''pecuIiar candi-
