streets of Seoul in honour of the opening of the new shrine. Red and white bubble lanterns and banners were threaded like beads along either side of every street, and between these festoons of colour pro- cessions came and wert. Everywhere shouting coolies dragged or carried enot mous platforms, on which eat decorated flutists, cymbalists, and graven imagca Anting crashing, and goggling, The coolics worked much harder on this their holiday than ever they worked on work- ing days; pouring with sweat, bursting with rhythmic asthmatic cries, harness ed in festoons, they ran before their Jug-. gernaute, encouraged by gaudily dressed January 8th.7.06 a.m.) leaders, who skipped along backwards in front of them."
One of the most impressive processions was led by a file of horsemen in the fantastic armour of old Japanese war- riors; their heads were helmeted with broad eaves, like pagodas, their faces were frightfully masked, their bodies were fitted together in elaborate dove! tailings as though they were marionetter, But the procession which charmed, me most had as its centre a black cow as big as a house, made of canvas stretched on a wooden frame. Its head, curly-horned and scarlet-tongued, wagged facetiously on a pivot, and on its behind some con- scientious officiat had glued a very small municipal licence of some kind, showing that even a sacred cow must submit patiently to police regulations in Korea.

We drifted into a museum full of jade, brass jewellery, and wood-carvings. And while we were there a school-crocodile of little Koreans" suddenly writhed in. under the 'command of a Japanese school. master.
First little boys, two and two, in
white Korean clothes topped with the Japanese peaked school cap, like baby bus-conduc tors then little girls, two and two, in magenta tunica, white trousers, and apple-green bodices-then papas, two and two, in voluminous white, balancing the usual black bamboo top hats--then mammas, two and two, with thick white kerchiefs jauntily round their heads and white balloon skirts over white padded trousers-then a rabble of grandparents in various shades of billowy white..
The long whispering procession wrig.. gled hastily round the institution; ite Japanese commander never allowed any. one to pause and look at any of the, museum's marvels, nor did he utter onc word of explanation or exposition. The vision dissolved abruptly at the sunlit front door-the demands of education were satisfied, Une can imagine s Japanese educationist citing this prac tice with a mild complacency. No, we are not behind the West in modern edu- eational methods. Even the children of conquered Korea geed not envy your Eng. lish city schoolchildren their opportu." nities to expand the mind by educa. tional outings on holidays,
The real old Seoul was to a certain ex- tent hidden by all these celebrations and rosettes. But the Koreans themselves. never change. They have survived to many changes. New methods-new con turies-new, patriotism imposed by con querors these things tako no more root in them than alien trees in desert sand They have a sombre immortality; the only power they havo is the power of resisting change." The new civilisation is but i shadow passing over their. an. No in- vading banners can cheapon the lifting line of their broad city gates, sorene out- spreading hills of architecture. No par- venu marble stairways or winged pillars can improve their mountains, bleak brown pyramids, staring one at another. across the thick uneven inlay of hivelike thatches that is old Sepul.-The Star (London).
