REORGANISATION OF CHINA'S CULTURE.

A HEADMASTER'S SUGGESTIONS.

4.

Combine Old and Now.

It is a matter of considerable" importance that the educationists should arrive at a decision soon. The very self-respect of the country is threatened. The exigencies of. the time and the peculiar aberra tions that always follow in the wake of civil wars and revolutions are responsible for many bizarre sur gestions offered as remedies. Fort- unately for the cultura of the Chinese, stabler and wiser minds bavo prevailed. Men of vision re- alise that the salvation of China. lies not in a total break with the past (for no nation can afford to HOW TO COMBINE EAST AND | discard its cultural tradition), but

This antiquate system developments are on started with the assumption that lines, the major purpose of childhood was to prepare for adulthood. The, study of the classics was regarded as atcerosanct, inviolable, and un- changeable. Childhood any youth were spent in memorizing literary compositions, which were very often unexplained and but vaguely un- derstood by the teachers themselves. The old educators forgot that the human mind automatically elimi, natcs everything that is not used, and that textbook information has

no special immunity but goes the way of all unused mental lumber. They assumed that what was good enough for the 10th century would be good enough for the 20th. They .did not know, or refused to know, that the world was rapidly chang,- ing and that information relative to the world would have corres pondingly to change, if it was to be of any use.

Virtue of the Four Books.

For centuries Chinese scholars have taught nothing but the wisdom of the ancients. This cannot, int the very nature of things, go on indefinitely. I do not wish to dis- courage, in any way, the study of the "Four Books," which belongs to those works which are far ahove criticism, and which are apprehend- ed not so much by the intelligence As by the spirit. One ennnot findi a single coarse sentiment expressed in the "Four Books," and that is more than one can say of other; famous world classics. More than any other single factor it has bein- ed to preserve Chinese unity, mul ture, and civilization to the present day, while other contemporary eul- tures, continental in scope, have vanished so utterly that they do not survive even in the long me mary of vague legend. What I strongly deprecate is the enormous amount of time spent in memoriz. ing the "Four Rooks" and other
