Learning Chinese. He said Chinese teachers ware not gouarálly a anocess; they had no ides of the art of touching. The learner, however, must obtain the assist. anca of the native in order to acquire the tones and pronunciation of the language. He must also obtain the best books on the subject and compare the pronunciation of the teacher with that given in the book As far as Cantonese was concerned, the teacher's prinunciation must be often cor- rected by that indicated in the book, as the teacher, according to the distrist he come from, might drop his hs of introduce other variations. Dr Chalmers mentioned Bir Ball's books in terms of praise, while submitting them to a littlefriendly criticism, He spoke of the difficulties which the learner had to encounter in maslacing the tones, particles and flasalfiers, but mid that once these initial troubles were overcome, pretty rapid progress might be mado, as the Chi- nezo language presented no grammatical or inflexional difficulties Several questions
