souls; that they go only to those who have
the most dogmatic and reactionary theolo-
gical views, and that the pressure Of these
funds is used to- repress the liberal ele-
ment and to put liberal institutions in
bad repute as well as in financial straits.
That is "a shameful business from any
point Of view, and it ought to be met by
a generous and wise business. China does
not need copies of American colleges, but
it does still need colleges supported by
foreign funds and in part manned by
we'll trained foreigners who are capable
Of understanding Chinese needs, alert,
agile, sympathetic in their efforts to meet
them.
But of course the chief work must be
done in distinctively Chinese institutions,
stated mainly and managed wholly by
Chinese. Instead Of carping at mission
aries we should remember that they have
been almost the only ones in the past
with a motive force strong enough to
lead them to take an active interest in
Chinese education. It would seem as if
the time had come when there are some
interest, independent Of religious consi-
derations, might show itself in upbuil ding
native schools. Above all else, these
schools need modern laboratories and Ii
braries and well trained men Of the first
rank who can train Chinese on the spot
to the use Of the best methods in the
social arts and the natural and mathe-
NAUTICAL sciences. Such men could train
not only students but younger teachers
who are not as yet thoroughly equipped
land who too often are suffering from lack
|of intellectual contact. First class men
to go to China in this spirit with nothing
Ito t1put over except their knowledge,
their methods and their skill will meet
with a wonderful response. Somewhere
lin America there must be men of means
who can give their money and men of
science who can contribute their services
in this spirit. Their work will not be
done for the sake of the, prestige or COM
merce of the United States but it will
be done for the sake Of that troubled
world of which China and the United States
areintegral parts. Build up.a China of men
and women of trained independent
thought and character, and there will be
no Far Eastern problems such as now
!vex US; there will be no need Of confer
|ences to discuss and, disguise, the
Problems of the Pacifc." American in
fuence in Chinese education will then be
wholly a real good instead Of a mixed
and dubious blessing. A,.@ John Dea0eg.
Bully for Senator King! His three
resolutions on Haiti and .Santo Domingo
are a breath of fresh air to all who are
weary Of mere lip-service to Americanism
and desire some material evidence that
our legislators will really uphold 9funda-
mental American principles. The resolu-
ton demanding our withdrawal from
those two republics was discussed in a
recent issue of The Nation. A second
resolution IS 234) asks the Navy Depart
