The Republic of China
Naturalization in the Future.
BY Frederic j. Haskin

the government finally began to teach
western lore and literature.
one provision of the treaty of 1860
which ended China's wal with Great
Britain and France called for the or
ganization Of a responsible board to
have diplomatic dealings with the
powers. This led to the information
of the tsung-li-yamen or foreign Of
flee. This necessitated the training Of
Chinese who could translate and in
terpret foreign languages. w years
later such a school was started upon
the recommendation Of Princ kuan,
a Manchu, and his was the beginning
of the governments acceptance of
western education.
English, with 10 students, was first
tried, and in subsequent years came
departments in French Russian and
German, and in 1899 Japanese was
added. The new education as it
was called, made such Roadway that
the school was raised in rank and
dubbed Tung Wen college in 1866,
and the chairs of chemistry, physics,
mathematics and astronomy We're es-
tablished, and the presidency was Don

Martin, an American, who held the
position 25 years. 1t is an interesting
fact that all the leading foreign edu-
Gators in China We're, and are, Ameri-
cans. DR.. Martin is still living in
Picking, and is regarded as a sage by
the Chinese. When first started the
college was limited to 80 students, all
Manchus or favored Ming dynasty
Chinese. With the advent of DR.. Mar
tin the membership was increased to
100 and Chinese from humber families
were accepted. Harlin academy's wise
men were invited to join, but loftily
refused. The college gave free tuition,
food, clothing and a little one to
its pupils. The institutions influ-
ence is felt to this day. Auxiliary
schools We're later set up at Shanghai
and Canton.
In 1867 the government established
the Foochow Arsenal Naval school, in
1890 the Chinese Imperial Naval COL
lege at Marking, in 1892 a mining and
engineering college under the direc-
ton of the Hupei provincial board of
mines. The fault of his period was
the teaching of languages and litera-
ture almost exclusively. The Chinese
who had dipped into higher mathe-
antics and the sciences begged for a
decade for this sort of training, but
this was altogether too much for the
throne. as the following stern and
loftily ignorant memorial of thai per-
iod we'll illustrates:
The germ of western science is, in
fact, originally borrowed from the
h~eaVen-Sent element of Chinese
knowledge. The eyes of western phil
osophers, having been turned toward
the east, and the genius of their men

Although the time-honored Con
fucian system of education continued
it's sway all through the nineteenth
century and into the first decade of
this century, it's death knell was
sounded with the first notes of the
meeting house bell of the first Chris
tan mission which opened it's doors in
China. Confucianism as an all-suftl-
cient creed, monopolizing the Chinese
mind and holding the only key which
unlocked the empires treasure room
Of honor. wealth, power and high Of
fetal station for over 25 centuries, was
doomed the instant Christianity set
feet in Cathay. True, it died hard.
Nor will it ever pass from the ken OF
men. It's dominance of the present
and control of the future Is over, but
It's spirit and. in the main, construc-
tive accomplishments, will live in the
form of the Chinese character 1t has
modelled. Upon this character modern
education as introduced behind the
skirts of Christianity will build a new
and better China
The need of modern education and
other western ways was realized by
individual Chinese for some time be-
fore the government saw fit to con-
sent to the change. 1t is o known
that a large element of even the old
fashioned literati and conservatives
believed with the young men who had
been trained abroad that their way
was no longer sufficient to hold up
the hands of the government. But
they We're slow to move, and alSo
hesitated, to brook the opposition Of
the great majority who hated he for
eigner and his wiles.
The Jesuits We're the first to make
a little dent in the ice with their
Picking observatory in he six zenith
century. The fathers also taught art.
architecture and agriculture in North
China. For a time they enjoyed even
the imperial favor. but later lost their
Influence for a variety of peculiar
causes. The great growth of Chris
tan schools was in the nineteenth
century. Here again the Catholics
were pioneers. Their school of 1852

II. Senator Dixon, Senator Bristov
and cambridge Colby have declared
themselves opposed to any alliance

represent the element about which the
progressive party was formed; theirs
are progressive views; without excep-

With these men stand the women
who have been leaders in the progress

At h behest Of Kang Yu Wei, a
young Canton reformer, edict after

sciences, seeking to give higher status
to the army, rebuking the conserva-
