THE ENGLISH IDEAL:: "Prince Chichibu, the second son of the Mikado, has come to live in an English family in order to gain an intimate knowledge of English sport and English open-air life generally: It is the idea, I think, that the young Englishman, as he presents himself to the peoples all over the East, is a clean, eat, well-bred man, who from his games has mysteriously acquired a love of fair play. That is the kind of feeling they have in the East. It is dot always so much for actual learning that they send their sons here It is our public school and University life that appeals to them, together with our love of sport and the open-air life we leady though, of course, it is quite natural, too, that they should jook to the value of a knowledge of English. They have, I think, a very high opinion of what English public school life does for days, and, being a long way off, in far distant countries, they feel they can trust English-schools to look after their sons
The Egyptian. Government are pow sending students here to study librarian- ship, in order that they may occupy posts for which, Eitherto, foreigners have been recruited. This Is quite a new move. In fact, all round there is this tendency amongst the peo ples of the East to try and carry out themselves in their own country, under European instruction, duties which hitherto seemed to require the im- portation of foreigners.que
In the education of young Eastern childrer in this country there is, of course, a danger that they may forget their own mother tongue, and they some- times have to have recourse, before re- turning to their homes, to the School of Oriental Studies in order to learn again from English professors their own language.
