CHINA AND THE WEST,
To the Editor of the China Mail).
Sir, I read in yesterday's papers that Dr. Tsu expressed his doubt as to whether Western Education was good for Chinese studenta. Western Education carries with it what we under stand as Western Civilisation, and as I feel that Western Civilisa tion, as it stands to-day, does more harm than good to China, I Teo that the agree with Dr. Chinese have not benefitted from Western Education.
Yet, though firmly convinced that China
was a happler But weaker nation when her peculiar civilisation was taminated by Western influence. I say that China has to move on with the rest of the world and has to try her best to adapt herself to a civilisation which is as differ- ent from her own as West is from East.
