EDUCATION IN CHINA
Hong Kong to Have a University
Under British Auspices.

"The return Of the Governor General oil
the colony of Hong Kong after several
months in Great Britain, largely TO secure
a $4,000 endowment for founding UNI
versity under British interests in Hong
Kong" writes Consul General Anderson
has brought the matter of higher edu'
cation in China TO critical point.
1T seems also that there is movement
in Great Britain toward establishing SINH
lar institution in North China uhe Yangtse
Valley. which is somewhat rival move
ment. However, it is understood that the
work of the Governor of Hong Kong has
been successful and that the Hong Kong
university is TO be realized al once.
THE design Of the Governor is TO establish
a university in Hong kons or such scope
and standing that the young men or emma
may secure an advanced education and
degrees equal 10 those granted by unlver'
stiles in Europe and America. The univer.
sity is 10 be non sectarian, although not
free from moral influence and restraint.
For example, students from mission colleges
in China attending the university are to be
maintained In mission houses correspond
ing to fraternity houses in American uni
versities. while those students from Chinese
governmental schools whom II is desired
10 keep apart from mission influences will
be in similar establishments controlled by
proper Chinese authority. While the uni
versity is to be non-sectarian. ii is calcu-
lated TO advance British interests in China
For this reason there is said to be more or
less quiet opposition to the enterprise in
China. Its work will be along literary
lines, medicine. in engineering and econom-
les. but not in law.
1T is significant that these movements
have come at the same time. and II is quite
evident that within five years Of the
change in educational methods in China
the actual present need Of advanced uni
yersity advantages has been felt. This ID
indicated from another standpoint In the
new railway school at Picking. wherein
Chinese students, qualified therefor by
work done elsewhere. pursue advanced

CHARLES LAMBS EXCUSE.

Leadenhall street. London was for many
years the scene of the daily labors OF
Charles Lamb. That Lamb-despite his
many OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to have had a
fairly easy time at the East India house Is
evident from story told by Algernon
Black in "Macmllan's Magazine" for Feb
ruary. 1879. One porning he was observed
to enter the office hastily. and. in an ex-
cited manner, assumed. no doubt. for the
occasion. to leave by an opposite door He
appeared no more that day.
He stated the next morning. in explana-
ton. that as he was passing through Lead
email Market on his way TO the office he
accidentally trod on a butchers heel. i
apologized,' said Lamb, to the butcher.
but the latter retorted: Yes: but your ex-
cuses won't cure my broken heel. and. =
me-" said he, Selling his knife, I'll have IL
out of YOU
Lamb fed from the butcher, and in
dread of his pursuit dared not remain for
the rest of the day at the India house
This story was accepted as a humorous
excuse for taking holiday without leave"
