souri, School Journal
Our schools can never be what they
ought to be until the very best men can
be kept In them as teachers. 1t Is not
enough that each State can boast a few
educators on an equal In ability with
the best lawyers, editors and business
men. Every community with a hun
dred or more children to educate should
have at the head of its schools a man
the equal in ability, In education, in ex.
perience, in culture and in business tact

community to expect this unless it is
willing to pay what the best men can
obtain In other callings? Make teaching
the most honorable, the most lucrative
of callings, and, above all, free 1t from
the petty annoyances of politics and
meddlesome busybodies, and education
will take great leap forward for the
better.-The Educator.

STUDIED WITH KwANo Hsu.
Fellow Student of the Chinese Emperor
Kisita SAN Ernncisco.

"A. Visits San Francisco.
| Leung KaI Tin, a fellow-stu6ent or
Emperor Kwang Hsu of China, Is In
San Francisco. Even to see the En-
peror is a rare privilege, denied the
great majority of the almond-eyed. The
| fortunate Celestial who rubs elbows
! with his majesty is singularly honored
by his countrymen. But he who breaks
through the sacred inner circle aud
lives in daily communication with 1he
Emperor of China is almost divinity
to the half thousand million less for
tunate subjects.
Such a dignitary is Leung Kai Tin,
| who owes the proud privilege of his
personal communication with the EN-
peror kwang Hsu to the fact that he
is pupil of Kang Yu Wei, greatest of
Chinese scholars and reformers. 1t was
kang 1u Wei who first started the re-
form bee buzzing In the royal bonnet.
The young Emperor finally lent list
ening ear to the teachings of Kang Yu
Wei. He became a pupil of that great
teacher This naturally made the EN-
peror eager to meet the most brilliant
scholars of Kang Yu Wei. Among the
young men brought into the royal pres
ence were Leung Chi Tso and Leung
kai Tin. Leung Kai Tin was the young
er brother, but equally clever for his
years, and an ardent reformer.
When jealousy made it imperative
that the young Emperor have less fire.
quent cOunsels with Kang Yu Wei it
was decided to contine their intercourse
to letters and to have these missives
carried to and fro by some trusted
friend of reform. Leung KAT Tin was
one of those who bravely offered his
services for this delicate and danger
Gus task.
When the Emperor saw that his re-
formers had endangered his own safe
ty and that of his advisers, and that
matters were nearing a crisis, he sent
secret message to Kwang Yu Wei in
forming him of the peril that was
threatening all reformers. He babe
them fly at once.
. Six of the most promising advocates
OF reform We're butchered at the insti-
cation of the Empress Dowager before
they could make their escape, but Kang
Yu Wei, Leung Kai Tin, Leung Chi
Tso, and several others managed to es-
cape.
Leung Kai Tin came to the Pacific
coast to carry the doctrine of reform
to every city and village where his
brother Chinese congregate. In San
Francisco there are an especially large
number of progressive Chinese, who
believe that the light of modern civilI-
cation should penetrate the gloom of
China. Their battle cry is: Give back
the throne to the young Emperor
Kwang Hsu." They would have the
Empress Dowager Invested of every
vestige of pdsSer.
Leung Kai Tin, though still In his
twenties. is a man of marvellous ability.
He is scholar, not only learned in the
musty philosophy of the Orient, but
we'll versed in the history of other ma
lions and what has made their success.
He is an eloquent speaker, and his lee
lures to his countrymen in the United
States have stirred them greatly.
