I have not heard of Japan's erecting and endowing special colleges for the education of Chinese students. It appears that after sending picked young men to Europe and America, China lins entered several students at the existing Japanese colleges in order that they might receive more advanced instruction in special subjects, and we may hazard the assertion that this course has not been adopted without the definite intention of imbuing these Chinese cadets with the principles and methods so successfully.employed by the Japanese in civil, naval, and military matters. How then in the absence of this last important attraction, can Hongkong hope to divert more than a trickling portion of the already small stream to her proposed University Nor must we forgot that it is not only the institution itself that would be more costly, but that the expenses Chinese student covered by the Volunteers..
