Wraps the dead Summer in her winding sheet

Decay of confueianism.

Careful observers In China are motto
ing the gradual decay of Confucianism.
Its sway over the n.iuds OF the Chinese
lilerati is by no means what 1t WAS
even as recently as thirty years ago.
Ii is true that there is apparently no
marked diminrtlon ia the number of
ancestral halls. the existence of which
all over the land serves as an indica-
ton OF the vitality OF the state re-
lIgion. Yet nevertheless the more the
country Is permeated with western
knowledge the more sre the minds Of
the educated class becoming alienated
from the teachings to which before I'M
questioning obedience was accorded.
The reason for this state of things
it is not difficult to comprehend. Ii is
gradually dawning upon the educated
young men of China that acknowledge
OF the Confucian classics is no longer
what 1t was from commercial point
of view. And the comprehension OF
this fact is sufficient TO account for the
diminishing interest that is being taken
in the acquisition of Confucian learn
ing. 1t must also be admitted that. as
the broader and deeper knowledge in
troduced and incuicated by western
scholars is becoming assimilated. there
is an ever increasing realization of
how inadequate Confucianism is, not
withstanding its merits, 10 meet the
requirements of the present day. -
