The Chinese Bungalow portrays? The author has ignored the young Chinese paychology or be may be immorant of it. In conclusion, de sincerely hope that the western people would spend a little time to study the real case and psycho- logy of young China, which may help us to obviate a lot of misunder- stunding between them and us.

"At a time when Great Britain and China are endeavouring, by negotiation, to

come. to closer 'friendly relationship it would seem impolitic that plays of the kind above presented, doubtless dividend producing, should be staged. In- stead of sympathising with China, plays of the above kind will do more harm than good."

"Since China," he continues, "is getting more and more into contact with the civilised western world, the young Chinese begin to realise that we have no other way to hold our own as nation than to break down the old Chinese customs and system--the old formidable chain used by the old emperors which only helped to retard the progress of the people for thousands of years.

So in 1911 we revolutionised and overthrew the Manchu Dy. nasty, which was a yoke on the nation, and we have set to work to improve our language, our social and political systems.
