CHINESE EDUCATION.
The 8, ndara Has Changed but Little II
Two Thousand Years.


The standard has Changed but niitie In
Two Thousand Years.
They have no conception of learning
as under stood in the west--of mathe-
matics, Chemistry, geology On kindred
sciences and OF universal history. In
deed taey haye a very imperfect knowl-
edge Of geography. Their curriculum Of
study embraces the Chinese classics and
philosophy Ga voluminous compilation,
especially holding in eminence tho
teachings Of Confucius) the theory of
government and Chinese poetry and
history It is the standard fixed 1000
years ago and has undergone little
chang in the succeeding centuries.
One of our diplomatic representatives
tells cf a conversation had with ono Of
the most distinguished scholars and
highest officers in the empire, in which
they canvassed their respective systems
Of education, and he reports that his
Chine.e friend had never heard Of Ilo-
NOR, Virgil or Shakespeare; knew some
thing of Alexander having crossed tho
Indus had vague knowledge of Caesar
and Napoleon, but mono whatever Of
Hannibal, Peter the Great, Wellington
or other modern soldiers, and lie was
ignorant of astronomy, mathematics or
the modern sciences. When the Ameri-
can minister expressed surprise at these
defects in Chinese education, the man
DARN replied: "That is your civiliza-
ton, and you learn it. We have ours,
and we learn it. For centuries wo have
gone on satisfied to know what we
know Why should we care to know
what YOU know?"
Yet it must be conceded that Chinese
scholars and officials are usually men OF
decided intellectual ability, and they
cannot be set down as uneducated be.
cause they have not followed the curric.
ulum Of study marked out by European
civilization. 1t is "a source Of natural
pride hat they possess a literature ant
philosophy older than amy similar learn
ing Of tho west, and which even at thii
day are not obsolete, but exercise M
elovaiing moral and intellectual influ
ence On q vast multitude Of the human
family.
