Present experience shows that a good method of municipal government by Chinese in China, has not yet been evolved and it may take some time to evolve one. It is suggested, however, that in this case even'n bad attemps a government is better than none. Besides, how are the Chinese ever to grapple with modern city problems if they do not make a start?
