CONFUCIUs WAS PROsY
Critic Asserts Chinese PHILOSOPHERS
Writing OF Humdrum Variety

When we see the carving mind Of
"young China" we are at loss to un-
derstands how the race has been so long
satisfied and saturated with COnfucius
and the literature which built itself
around his teachings. Accustomed as
we are to argumentative PHILOSOPHERS
and to horatOry morals, We run over the
detached fragments Of the Analects
without finding much that As new or
impressive, writes John G. Briggs, in
the Literary Review.
Excepting the occasional cleverly
turned point, as when C0nfueius saws
THE state has no right to execute
criminal whom It has neglected to In
Etruet," most of it seems to us humdrum
and platitudinons, We feel that we
have seen all this in our copy books
or, in Samuel Smiles.
The Confucius literature fails, or
seems to fail, by the test and standard
of western philosophy and letters. And
yet it is we who in sense fail, from
The very fact that we try to judge it
wholly by our own standards. The
thing is so penetrated with the life of
centuries, so much more far-reaching
and permanent than, many of our con-
cepts Of philosophy and letters have yet
proved themselves, that, seeing its
limitations, we fail to measure its large
overwhelmingly, the enduring force
which has built up and co-ordinated the
greatest static social system which the
world has yet seen.
Homer is to us a voice from the past,
a messenger of common humanity from
a remote and outwOrn civilization. Con-
fucius meets us as a living contempt
rary. His stupendous creation has per-
sisted as one Of the most potent forces
in Civilization and that, too, in spite of
bunsiing attempts to make it religion.

TWO FOUNDATIONS
Carnegie And Rockefeller Institutions
Control S265 100000

Typical of the present day and gen
Grafton in the United States are the
great foundations created for the most
part within the last two decades out
of private means to serve public pur-
poses. They may, be regarded as the
outgrowth of the enhanced sense on the
part of wealth of it's obligations to the
community, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
One of the greater of these perpetual
funds is the Carnegie corporation OF
New York, created by the iron-master
in 1912 and endowed at that time with
1925, 100000. Its just issued annual
report illustrates the magnitude of its
resources and operations. Its assets in
par value of securities are in excess of
$135, 100000 and its income from all
sources for the year ending September
30, 1923, was $6,935,346. In that year
it paid $2,449, 1145S- to colleges listed
among it's beneficiaries, made appropria-
tions of $3.50, 307. Al to various associa-
tions, mostly of educational or research
purposes, and allotted $162,040 for IL
brary buildings in the United States
and $110,174.21 to other countries.
The purpose of the Carnegie corpora
ton, as stated in IS charter, is to pro-
mote the advancement and diffusion of
knowledge and understanding among
the people of the United States by aid
ing schools and institutions of higher
learning, scientific research, and useful
publications and other appropriate agen-
cies and means.
! The Rockefeller Foundation at the
present time devotes most of its great
resources Exceeding $174,000, 000
both principal and income being
available for apropriations) to public
health and medical education through
out the world. One of its best known
activities has been for the eradication
OF the hookworm disease, begun in the
southern states of this country, and,
continued throughout the world. Ma
laria control has been studied in this
