Forelgn consuls in Chinese citio.
missionaries in all parts of the Chi.
nese empire, merchants in the Chinese
ports, and travellers who study China
agree In reporting a new hunger for
knowledge-the kind of know1edgo
which has made the nations Of tho
western world great and prosnerous
and strong. The Chinese are wil1in =
and eager to go to school to America
and Europe, in sense which was
never before true of any large part Of
the population. There is a general
recognition of the value and need -,
western training for the business y,
life. VI
The significance of this change IL
easily perceived, for it must result IN
great quickening of the vital c,r
