To these notes should perhaps be added a word en

a confusion of ideas which constantly appears in

European writings on this subject, the point of confusion

being the connection between the Huitsai and child labour.

The muitsal system may be attributable to the sme

sgeneic reasons as necessitated child labour, but is not

the cause of it. Child labour would exist in China with

or without the muitsai system: own children have to work,

bearing burdens or taking charge of still younger ones,

from the earliest possible moment. Even before that

moment, the child's place directly it can leave the

mother's back and can stand on its own feet -„Decessarily

to

at the mother's side, imitating her work; a training

of which the mother is ready to avail herself (indeed, is

almost forced to avail herself) from the instant the

child's strength is equal to the carrying of two bricks.

Broadly the muitsal is the domestic servant: the child

seen working at the mother's side in the streets or

on the fields is the natural child a responsibility

which the mother would often be too glad to escape for

the child's sake as well as her own, by finding it a

home as a mui tsai. The child must work in either

oase; and perhaps the mui tsai has the better part.
