"Much study is a weariness to the flesh," I said, "and of the making of books there is no end" It was an effort to lighten the converse- tion. There was no answer to the frivolous remark. Perhaps my guests were too polite to say what they thought of such levity.

Many years later, two young Chi- acse sons of my friends-went to London. Their fathers had a simple faith that they would learn science. They learnt many things, but very little science.

It is not improbable that they will 6nd no outlet for their energies in their own country when they return, except in politics. It cannot be doubled that the fathers will be dis- appointed if they do fish in such troubled waters in China.

Even a Western sceptic must admit that there must be some tremendous creative power in the blood of the stag at this period which enables him to grow in the short term of 6-8 weeks a pair of beautiful, wide- spread, antlers, weighting some 15-20lb.

In spite of all that the Captains of Industry write to the contrary it seems that a University career gives any boy a great chance that nothing else provides. If he has any im. agination it is cultivated and stimu lated. Knowing something of the bumanities he must become more buran.
