a matter of course, evidently attaching no im. portance to his ability to perform such a feat This faculty of memory, inval able no doubt, in certain directions is probably to some degree hereditary with the Chinese, and is strengthen- ed by the immense amount of mere learning by heart, which forms the staple of their in tellectual training. Something, of course, must be allowed for their individuil 'character but, In the main the extraordinary powers of memory which the Chinese possess are, no doubt, due to education. We thus have in them a very good indication of what may be expected from a method of teaching which makes constantly increasing demands upon the mere powers of memory, as, these can be no question, has been the tendency of the examion. tion system which has of late years been so much pressed forward in England, despite the warnings of men like Matthew Arnold who wore fully alive to its shortcoming, The ultimata eff.ct of such a system is to crush out individual thought and to bring the joinilec tual development of a country to something like a dead level-such as, indeed, is very generally found among the Chinese, who are proverbially lacking in anything approaching originality, The wonder is, perhaps, that they are able to retain as much initiative as they have and that everything like an original idea has not been educated out of them. It is not surprising- that we seldom find a Chinaman rise to any height upon any given subject out of his ordia- ary range. He is quite content to go by precedent or authority and seldom troubles to test principles for himself.

good stead; but in anything requiring to be dealt with independently of piecedent, the Chinaman usually fails. It is from this short- coming, that the Chinese have, during the many years they have been in contact with Europeans, been able to turn the knowledge they have had opportunity of acquiring to so little account. In ordinary business matters they have certainly shown powers of adapt- ation and organisation of no mediocre kind; but in political affairs where a higher mastery of principles is required, they have learnt very
