THE NEW CHINA,
Now that the Chiness have been promhed a parliament, tho'sĮicit that has lizen in fluential in accuring reforms in the Celestial Empire is of particular interest, and much that is new re- garding lt is introduced in "The Chivern," by J. S. Them:03, recently issued in England.
To describing the downfall of Ul e old system of learning, the writer says.
Tie fiul blow at the old system was really sirack by the lately deceased emperor, Kwang So, in his famous riformatory, ed e ́s cf sf98, - when he was disturbed by the shree cl, and the ressour for, his defeat by Japan. Every village is now striving to possess a Hok Tong (day school), which will conform with, the arw standards of the beard of education, whoso ze, quirements include military drill. The most radical decreas in the history of the thiose, those of Kwarg Su in 1897, wers addressed to mas dirius and "schoolmasteia." The now lexibook nis illustration to the fullest advantages Thore books, as well as the mass and globes are at present all-prepared in Japan. Many Japanese teachers are emp'a, ed, and numbers of them as professors in English, *
In 1505 China sent too o pupils to Japa; in 1905 the doubled the number, which has been Increasing right along. When America in (ço) waived rights to half her share of the Boxer in demnity of 1993, China enthusiastically recipro, cated by recruiting schola s to go to Ame ica's colleges and schɩo's. * * * In Kwang ung the provincial government is offering the high salary of 5.0 Mexican ($'s gold) a month to Dativa teachers. * The 1000 stalls in ditary cows at Wucbang across the river om Hankas; the 17,0 o brick booths in the west- ern capital Chington, and the 15 0:0 cells at Nankin, stood empty.
