China and the Outside World, Sir Arthur Shipley, viewing the Chinese problem from an Imperial, even a world wide standpoint, takes a different line in the course of his article, from which we give the following extracts:

The troubled state of affairs in China has been, to a great extent, fostered and promoted by the student body, most of whom have been educated in China. The education and the substitution of modern Western teaching has proved too much for them, and they have broken loose in a manner which, to put it at the best, has done no good to their country. It i satisfactory to find that the students of the Hongkong University have proved in every way loyal to the treaty engagements that the Chinese have made with other countries, and have taken no part in disturbances which have done so much to bring rain to what was once a great country.

Object and Constitution.

The University of Hongkong was in corporated in 1911, and opened the fol lowing year as a resident university for students of both sexes. Its object sa se out by ordinance, is the promotion of art, science, and learning, the provision of higher education, the conferring of degrees, the development and formation of the character of students of all races, nationalities, and creeds, and the main- tenance of good understanding with the This neighbouring country of China." last sentence is perhaps the most import- ant thing for which the University stands.

Sir Frederick Lugard who, with the aid of others, was the main instrument in the foundation of this outpost university of the Empire, intended and hoped that it would form a centre of friendly contact between the great Chinese Republic and the scattered British Empire. In speech on the opening day, he said:-

My conception, then, of this scheme is that it shall stand as a proof that the citizens of a British colony are not solely engrossed in the pursuit of wealth, but that they realize the obligations which

le upon them extend to subject races and to neighbouring and friendly peoples the benefits which the energy of their forefathers have conferred upon them. selves. That Hongkong shall lead the way among Crown colonies is proving anew that the British Empire is not merely a vast trading corporation, but 'has" still the sacred fire of imperial respon sibility and is content to cast its bread upon the waters, without looking to im- mediate gain, assured that it will return

Just at present perhaps, Sir Arthur Shipley frankly admits, these hopes are There are three faculties-medicine, not being realized, but as they have been with a five-years course; engineering, in India so in China, in time, things will with a four-years' course; and arts, which become better, and the younger amongst also extends over four years.

A picture possibly worth £20,000, be lieved to be the work of Holbein, has come into the possession of a London artist in a romantic way.

It is now in the studio of Mr. Nico Jungman, an artist who undertakes the restoration of the works of old masters, at Edwardes-square Studios, Kensing ton. It was taken to him by a workman who bought the picture in a market. The purchased picture was a copy of the head of an angel after Correggio, and this was taken. home and hung.
