PEOPLE WHO ASSUME THE

WORST.

A CLEARCUT ATTITUDE NECESSARY.

[BY RODNEY GILBERT.]

The most depressing and dia- couraging feature of the present situation is the inclination in so many quarters to assume that the foreigner is on the point of making further surrenders in the face of Boxerism and anarchy. You have published a Toho interview with Chiang Kai Shek in which that gentleman is asked whether or not he is going to use force to obtain the "return" of Shanghal This is simply "defeatist nonsense. Shanghai, as we know it, was never Chinese. There was here, prior to 1501, wretched little collection of mud huts: surrounded by a little rand wall, which was thoroughly Chinese and was called the city of Shanghai. That city of Shanghai, minus the wall, still exists and is

DEFECTIVE CHINESE

EYESIGHT.

DUE TO BAD LIGHT AND VERTICAL SCRIPT:

HEADMASTER'S OPINION,

The Headmaster of Wah Yan College (Mr. Lim Hoy Lau in the course of his report read at yester day's prize distribution (reported elsewhere in this issue) Healt in a very able and interesting manner with a phenomenon that has baffled medical science, the prevalence of bad eyesight among the Chinese. ·

Mr. Lim Hoy Lau states:- Various theories have been ad- vanced regarding the defective eye even gone so far as to blame the high zygomatic arch of the Chinese for the bad eye-sight of a compara- high aasal bridge of the Europeans tive few. This is like blaming the for the chronic catarrh of a few persons, Personally I incline to the view that the causes of bad eye. sight among the Chinese are habitual and physical rather than physiognomical,

times take a passing interest in it, when questions of public health and sanitation come to the fore, and wish that we could be ruthless enough to obliterate it.

Purely Foreign Creation. The big port of Shanghai is a purely foreign creation. Harry Parkes, who bangs his head on the Bund with good reason, leased a tract of useless Innd, where water could everywhere be struck at depth of three feet, where no useful crops could be grown, and apen which the prospects of erecting stantial buildings seemed nit, as

with which the test "Ghetto

ed foreign traders might be segre gated. On this worthless tract foreign energy, courage, faith and hope have built up ten-storey build. ings and have raised the land values to something like a hundred times that of the quotations per me in the native city of Shanghai. Now the Chinese want it returned;" and sympathetic understanders ran about discussing the terms under which all the fruits of several generations of foreign effort can be Fielded up to anarchic cooliedom. This strikes me as the exaltation of folly, the apotheosis of imbecility.
