EDUCATION IN CMINA.

The English Language to he Taught
in the Pxbiie Schools.
Education holds the FIRST place among
the many reformations in process In
that wonderfully awakened country,
China. The government realizes that
to preserve the independence and to in
sure the prosperity Of the empire,
schools, modelled after those Of west
ern lands, must be established and en-
couraged.
Changes from the old ways of teach
Ing will be made gradually. BY 1910
all schools will be conducted according
to modern methods. Already univer.
sity has been opened In PelSin, and
throughout the country, in cities and
villages, schools of various grades, pri-
mary, grammar and high, have begun
the good work. One who seeks schol-
arship will have to spend quarter Of
century before he can complete the
course of studies. He will be obliged
10 attend a primary school for four
years, superior primary four years,
a middle school FIVE years, high
school three years, the University CT
Peilin three or four years and the Col
lege OF Studies FIVE years.
Foreign languages will not be taught
in the primary schools. This branch
of study begins in the middle schools.
The languages to be taught are Eng
lish, Japanese, French, German and
Russian.
The primary schools are free and not
obligatory. All the others are pay
schools, except the normal whose ex-
penses the government pays; but the
student at this school must agree 20
teach for six years in the official
schools. In all schools the instruction
is Confucianlsm and it is forbidden to
teach any other creed. The Christian
missionaries welcome this change, for
they know that when the people are
better educated the presentation of re-
ligious truths will be all the easier
and conversions will be made in great
er numbers.
The scholars rise ut 6, study at 6 80,
breakfast at Z. study and class at 7c45
to IL go, dinner at IL, study and class,
2 to A drill. In summer, to 8 30;

you ought to have reserved them"
Slower had stated nothing but the
truth as 10 the contract, and father

this to have an understanding, wher
