should be. The teaching of Confucian ethics is more and more neglected, while too much attention is being paid to the mater- ialistio side of life. It is the opinion of many Chinese who have made some study of the subject, that there should be a graduated system of schools reaching up from the vernacular school to the Chinese middle school, and on to an enlarged and improved department or school of Chinese studies in the Univer- sity. In such a system great stress should be laid on the ethics of Confucianism which is, in China, probably the best antidote to the pernicious doctrines of Bolshevism, and is certainly the most powerful conservative force, and the greatest influence for good. At present the only Chinese middle school is the Confucian Middle School established two years ago by Mr. Tung Ping-shan, Mr. Li Yik-mui, and others; and its object, like that of all the most famous English Public Schools, is not so much to impart miscellaneous information, as to train the char- acter of the scholars and thus fit them for social life and leadership. About eight months ago I suggested to the Director of Education and the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, and, in Lay last, to His Excellency the Governor, that either the Belilios Public School (when and if vacate for larger premises) or the present Saiyingpun School should be set aside for the purpose of a central Chinese school by the Government; and I am glad to see that provision has been made in the Estimates for 1926 for the establishment of such a school at Saiyingpun. This action of the Government has given great satisfaction to those who hav taken an interest in local education, for they believe that money spent on the development of the conservative ideas of the Chinese race in the minds of the young, will be money well quay spent, and also constitutes social insurance of the best kind. Finally, I suggest that careful instruction in Confucianism and its application to the problems of modern civic conditions should be given in all the schools where there are Chinese
