My headquarters were In trench
on the top of the bank OF the Ypres

bank. During periods Of the battle
men who were shot actually rolled
down the bank into his dressing sta

days Of the battle, he and 1 watched

Though Chinese education Is grad
for the title Of mandarin still gather
at three-year intervals In Chinese cit
les, and the examiners sit In their
robes Of state under their umbrellas
and conduct the examinations.
Many of the younger generation
nowadays have imbibed western idea
of education; but many still begin with
the Book Of Three Characters, the
Book Of Hundred Families and the
Book OF Thousand Words, and pur-
sue an educational system that is held
to be more than 80 centuries old, to
the ultimate triumph of becoming man
darins and enjoying the ceremonial
honors, distinctive costume and an In
favidual reputation for wisdom and
learning, that go with the title. The
examination consists In the writing or
philosophical and political essays, ex-
position Of the sayings Of Confucius,
commenting on Chinese texts and the
composition of sentences and maxims
In prose and verse.
The number Of candidates at such
examinations still counts up into the
thousands. Sometimes their failures,
one might say, in the phrase with
which western editors return ambi
