CEYLON GOVERNOR'S SPEECH. ' The following le an extract from the speech made by H.E. Sir Hugh Clifford, Acting Gove ernor of Ceylon, at the prize distribution at the Royal College, on Thursday, the sth instant-Barron by about a yard only.
The question which I would ask you all to consider is what after all is the real meaning of this work of education, of this work of the in- traduction of Occidental education into an Oriental colony upon which we are engaged. I object of education in the formation of charac take it that we are all agreed that the primary ter, and we all equally would admit, I make no doubt; that racial character is the result of the average character of the individuals that compare that mes. And now I want to talk to you a little about race. You hear a great deal about race animosity, race batred, race Jealousy and all the rest of it. I ask you all to put these phrases out of your minds and to throat them where they belong into the limbo of irrelevancies. I want all of you think what race la. A race must be supposed to have, just as an individual body has some thing in the nature of an individual character, and that character, if we like to trace it into any race in the world, is, you will flad, mainly shap ed and moulded into form by three influences. The first of there is what we call sovlrogment, the climatic or physical conditions of life, that render a race that is brought into being in one part of the world distinct from any other, by reason of certain qualities that are necessitated in order to insure its continued existence, quail. ties which in another part of the world may be entirely absent. Environment also bad an enormous effect upon the formation of racial character. Next comes historical circum. stance, which may be due to the working of outside forces, which may be due to qualities ipherent in the race itself, or which may be due to the particular religious revelation which it has accepted, but whleb, in the case of every race differs and in pecullar to that. particular rate. These two influences you have environment and historical circumstance -and thirdly you have the influence which wa call heredity, that is to say, an influence pass. ing on from individual to individual atom, as sach atom replaces another in the history of the race, an influence which has contributed to the accumulated racial character, traditions, ideas, hopes, and the circumstances which have made the environment and the history of any particular race combine to produce the resolis which, transmitted by heredity, fashion what we understand as the character of a race which makes the rate what we know it to-day:
