AT this point arises the most serious
difficulty confronting New China; she
mas not men competent to manage the
schools. Everybody realizes that the
new schools, which have everywhere
sprung up like mushrooms, are made
quately manned, and that much of the
education is of the most superficial
character. Still the demand on every
side is for education; high and low
have come to regard education as the
magic remedy for all of the nations
ills. So every foreign-trained student

Nor is the new education carried on
only by schools; public reading rooms
and lecture halls have been opened
by the government, by private citi.
zens, and by missions, and here the
people gather to hear the news of the

and explained. The number of news

cheaper and more accessible than men
from the west, are themselves but pu-
pills, with only superficial learning.
Thirteen thousand Chinese students
have been studying in Toxic during
the past year; but in addition to be-
ing hotbed of revolutionary senti-
ment and of gross immortality, this
Chinese student body in Japan is not
receiving a thorough education. At
the government examinations last fall,
out of nearly 100 men examined, most
of whom had been educated in Japan,
not one of the latter passed, while the
five who stood at the head had been
educated in America. 1t is now the
governments intention, high officials
have informed me, to send no more
students to Japan. u#
Shall America Educate China?
There is strong feeling on the part
of most Americans here and of many
Chinese, that special effort should be
put forth to secure these young men
for American colleges. There Is a
well-defined movement, being pushed
both in China and in America, looking
toward this end. Many persons favor
setting aside the $20,OOO,OO0 Boxer in.
demnity for the education of Chinese
students. Certainly the nation which
trains these young men will be the
dominant influence in China a few
years hence.
AS rapidly as possible, China's JAP
anese teachers are being dispensed
with, and the nation is in no mood
to put other foreigners in their places.

foundation of the new education.
Therefore, with the passing of the
old examination system, there has
come into existence a national board
of education. Provincial governors are
required to foster education of all
grades in their territory. An imperial
decree has ordered that temples may
be taken and used for schools; so that

Japan as China's Teacher.
japan thought to dominate the edu-
cation of the new China; and appar-
emily she was in just the position to
do so. She had recently created for
herself the educational appliances
needed by a nation trying to encom-
pass western learning in bulk; her
books and charts were in the Chinese
text. She had valuable store of ex-
perience. Thus the educational mu-
scum in Tien-Tsin, which has dis

west. For it must be remembered that
China knew as little of universal his
tory as she knew of electricity; much
that an occidental child absorbs un-
consciously has to be taught to the
adult Chinese student.
China has few foreign teachers in
her government schools, but most of
these are Japanese. (And the west
erner should remember that, far from
being one race, the Japanese is as
truly 'foreigner" in China as is the
Britisher or the American). Now,
however, the complaint is going up

Distinction and Difference.

In Dean Ramsay's book of anecdotes
there is one which refers to CONVEX
sation between a Scotch minister and
4 sexton. The minister was a stranger
to the gravemaker, and discussed with
him the doctrines of the neighboring
clergy. AS one after another was men,
toned the sexton wagged his head
gloomily, and said: Hes no sound"
At last the minister-who was long
winded and rather empty preacher
mentioned his own name, and in
luired: "Mr. - now, isn't he

Internecine strife has broken out
among the prize-ight impresarios Of
Frisco, and they are slamming verbal
dynamite at one another's efforts to
gain permits from the supervisors for
the holding of contests. The clash has
taken on added interest as result Of
the announcement of the Palm Ath-
letic club that it intends to build an
arena just outside the city limits,
which would be run in opposition to
Coffroth's big amphitheater. Things
are quite uneasy for the bunch OF war
ring promoters and signs point to the
conclusion that if they do not get to-
gether and effect some sort Of q
Hague peace armistice, the public and
the city officials will become tired OF
the chickering's and put the skidoo sign
on the whole outfit. Al Young, former
ly matchmaker of the Hawthorne club,
Frisco, is the leading man OF the new
Palm club. He says that his organiza-
ton will erect one of the largest am
phitheaters ever known to the world,
and that it will be built as soon as
possible. Politics has considerable to
do with the granting of the permits
for fights inside the city lines, and
there are reports current that if the
Interchangeable candidates are
defeated at the election next month
the lid will be taken off the town and
thrown into the bay, so that the prize
fight people could hold contests as
often as they liked.
