EneIish Ianenage i'm China.

The prince regent of China, by inn
perial decree, has made English the
official language in all Chinese schools
of modern learning The effect can
not but be far-reaching in making
English more than ever lingua
franco, world language, and the in
direct help of missions, which are
themselves in a very real sense the
original cause of the decree, must IN
evitably be very great also.
The necessity of providing some
standard medium of education in the
sciences and the arts had long been
pressing in China. A memorial OF the
ministry of education, on which the
prince regent bases his decree, express
~ recognizes the inadequacy of Chi
nese to render technical and scientthc
terms, notes the incongruities that
have arisen through the rivalries of
foreign trained instructors, and says
the time has come for uniformity.
English, it continues, was the first
of foreign languages introduced into
China; it is most widely used there
and in the world: Most imported text
books are in English. 1T is, therefore,
proposed that in the different schools
teaching technical and scientific sub
jects the English language be adopted.
In the case of schools which do not
include foreign languages in the cur
riculum they must in the future be
taught. The study of foreign Languages
is to be made compulsory in those
schools where they are now optional.
.'In all provincial high schools
(scientff1c and technically already ex-
listing or established in the future the
studies with the exception of ethics,
Chinese literature history and geog-
raphy) pertaining to sciences shall be
taught in English. When the students
are sent to Picking for final exan1na-
ton after graduation they shall be ex-
amined through the medium or the
English language"
Even now 1t is not uncommon to
hear two Cinnamon from different
provinces using English as a medium
in conversation, for though the writ
ten language is alike throughout China,
the speech differs widely. The COM
mon knowledge of English may thus
come in the future to play an fmpor-
tant part in building up national con-
seriousness. 1t is generally recognized
