and intellectual discipline prevailing in such
families give their member a marked adj
vantage over those who get no help of the
kind at home, and who must, therefore, de-
pend entirely on what they learn from their
paid teachers.
The orthodox scheme of education is en-
tirely concerned with the ancient litera-
ture Of China The original works which
occupy the Students attention were for
the most part written before the literature
of either Greece or Rome had reached its
prime. But, there are commentators be-
| longing to later periods who must also be
pursued with diligence. China has not seen
an influx of new races such as have over
run Europe since the Gays or our classical
authors. But still, from mere lapse of time.
the language of the country has greatly
changed, and the child beginning his stud
les cannot, without explanation, understand
a single sentence, even If he has learned TO
read the words of the lesson which he has
before him. The student makes himself ac-
quainted as thoroughly as possible with
these classical works. The more he can
quote of them the better, but he must mas
ter the matter contained in them as well.
He must get to know the different read
/ ingS and different interpretations of dis
puted passages. and, finally, he practices
himself in prose and verse composition. In
prose he carefully preserves the ancient
! phraseology, never admitting modern
| words, though there are certain technicali-
ties Of style which will prevent his produc-
tons from being an exact imitation of the
ancient literature. His verses must be in
close imitation of the old-time poets. They
must follow elaborate rules as TO rhythm,
and the words must rhyme according to the
classical sounds, which are very different
from those of TODAY.
