COMMERCIAL EDUCATION,
In a recent artiolo on Cerrorcial Eduvalion in the Saterday Review, to which thus na of Mr. Ernest E: Willities, the anthor of this much-discussied Made Germany," is ap pended, occurs the following sentence: Thero Friare ales in Paria, Berlin, and Vimum schools the for the study of. Cronant language and ace including tic) the habits and prejudices of the peoplos. The schools enable unigusa ti atudents to write trade ofroniurs in the Eastera languages and visit the people talking to th in their own tongue." It is devoutly to be hoped that those European stuknts speak a little gr grammatically than Mr. Williatas writes or thing might have some diffealty in making thurselves understood. But the question is, whoroure the novomplished studlouts from Faria, Berlin, aul Viena who write trado circulars in Eastera lun ganges? One would imagine, almost, that the Frenchman, the German, mal the Austrisa, n Arte to wander promiscuously gear the Orient ith the Nagri, Perei- Arabic, and possibly thu Chinese characters at their fingers ends, while of course the at-like Britou, for this is what Mr, Williams sotitd have un'infer, is hopelessly bebind hand in these commercial accomplish ments.
