MEN OF EXPERIENCE needed.
No country that is unable to command the services. of efficient and well-trained officials can be well governed. In the past China has suffered, not so much from the lack of capable men, as from the fact that the servants of the State have been trained on wrong lines, have been ill-paid, and have, as a consequence, been encouraged to make up, in the way of illegal and unjust extortion, what they have lacked in pay sufficient to enable them to keep up their positions in the eyes of the people. The old examination system, which was beyond reproach so far as turning out literary men was concerned, was utterly unsuited to fit candidates for official posts for the practical tasks which they have found facing them on taking up their duties.
