It is noticeable that many young Chinese, who have bean educated in Europe or America return to their native and very touch out of sympathy with their own people. They are inclined to be hyper-critical. With the enthusiasm of youth they are impatient for reform, and unwilling to make haste slowly. What ever profession they study, they read a great deal about the French Revolution and often absorb literature on the sub ject of the American Constitution. They are apt to overlook the fact that the French Revolution was not, in practice, what its sponsors thought it would be whon they spun their theories, and that the American Constitution differs some what from the ideals of its founders.

The reason why the Chiness take so kindly to literary, rather than to experi- mental studies can be accounted for by the law of heredity. For thousands of years the clever, men of China have steeped themselves in the classics of the country and have trained their memories to a remarkable degree Very much the same thing is seen in other Oriental countries In India, especially, the am. bitious young men have shown a great partiality for law and literature.
