THE BEGGARS" "SCHOOL, IN CANTON.
We shall be greatly surprised if Canton is able to get rid of ite army of mendicants by the com- paratively simple process of taking them by the scruff of the neck, thrusting them into a newly estab lished vocational school and keep- ing them there, under lock and key, until they have learned some useful trade. This is the method now
being tried by the budding states men in control of the neighbouring province. The idea of equipping alf citizens with the means of carn-} ing an honest livelihood may be fundamentally sound, and we would' hot dream of throwing cold water on the present interesting experi ment which is something entirely new in China's political life: But we would warn the Cantos author itice not to be too sanguine of
