Shanghai. China-The man with a
gun. representing China's modern
army of $4,000 men, is not the most
significant figure in the empire to-day;
that place must be accorded to an
other man in uniform, the student OF
the western learning. How great and
portentious is the change which has
come over this hoary kingdom may be
seen in this new educational ferment
China is now committed, irrevOcably,
to the occidental type of education.
After milleniums Of proud self-suf-
ficiency, and an appalling ignorance or
what the west considers learning, the
old system of education, consisting Of
the memorization OF the ConfuCian
classics, has fallen with crash.
knowledge of these classics was until
recently the only road to political
place and social power; men devoted
their lives to an enGeavOr to pass
these examinations. year after year,
until the number of candidates be-
yond eighty years of age was very
large. All this has now become one
with Chinas past; the classical eX-
animation system has been abolished
and the famous old examination halls
have been RACED. To-day all who rise
in China must pass through the gate
of the western learning.
China's Craze for the New Education.
The ancient contempt for foreigners
and things foreign gave way in 1900;
to-day China is almost as Jealous for
western ways as ever was Japan.

Shall America Educate China?
There is a 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-defned movement, being pushed
both in China and in America, looking
toward this end. Many persons favor
setting aside the $20,000,000 Boxer in

students. Certainly the nation which

Therefore, with the passing of the
old examination system, there has
come into existence a national board

to for walks and other needed improve

just because these children were blind,
that they should not have as attractive
surroundings as the insane, the legisla-

they do not see the unkempt condition
of the grounds, it makes no difference,
and killed the amendment. This is the
smallest of the appropriations made by
the state for any of the big educational
or eleemosynary institutions. The in
sane hospital appropriation bill, amount
ing in all to something more than S400,-

Few people are aware of the ex.
ceeding need Of practical forestry
among the hills of the Ohio and it's
tributaries, particularly those living
in the northern part of the State and
having nothing to call them thither.
But we, who were born and grew up
among those hills and helped to clear
up the farms and plow the hillsides,
and have seen the soil, from year to
year, carried away until many a field
by wash and erosion has become utter
ly unfit for agriculture of any descrip-
ton, know that the situation is alarm
ing and that something must be done,
and done soon, or many millions Of
acres, at no distant day, will become
as barren as the hills of Syria. 1t is
only a question of time.
The hills of Syria were once as fer
tile as were the hills along the Ohio
SO or rs years ago, but they are now
eroded beyond reclaim, and unless
something radical is done to redeem
ours from wash and waste their doom
is sealed.
