China. the prehistoric child, has at
last reached the toddling age: she has
begun to crawl about on the world
floor to see what the rest OF the chill
dren of mother earth are doing. The
newly formed republic has already be-
gun the building of railroads and
steamship lines. one of the greatest
steps toward the %unification of the
scattered people. and now al Hong
kong a learned Chinese scholar has
formulated an alphabet of forty-four
letters which contains the phonetic
and hieroglyphic symbols of the pres
ent complex language.
Two hundred years ago the emperor
Kang Hi established a school for the
sole purpose of trying to unity the
pire, but 1t met with no success. First,
because the lack of facilities for trav-
ell kept the people so widely scattered
they could not mingle with m an
other. and. second. and more import
ant, the language of China is not an
alphabetical language but a language
made up of thousands Of word pic
lures which are unintelligible to the
great mass of the people.
The Chinese dictionary. for instance,
is made up of many thousands of
characters. all built around PA So
called key words. but the characters
formed from these words amount to
approximately $1,000. No man. es-
pecially the h~ard-working Chinaman,
has time to learn all these characters,
or even a small part Of them. and in
consequence the great number OF
Cinnamon cannot read. Again, the
%colloquial Chinese is as different from
the written Chinese as French is from
Latin and the colloquial Chinese has
some twenty-odd dialects.
