A very interesting discussion followed the excellent paper read at the meeting of the English Association during the week by Miss H. D. Bawyer. Many points of view were brought up with re- gard to the difficulty encountered in the work of teaching English to Chinese boys and girls. To the writer's mind, the greatest dificulty is to teach these students, when writing or speaking English to have in mind the English point of view. Frequently a Chinese writer or speaker will use English phrases which are mere translations from the Chinese and which are perfect ly meaningless to anyone except those who understand the Chinese language. Business men will tell you that practically every day let- ters are received from Chinese firms, which, while meaningless to the Europeans" on the staff, are clear as daylight to the Chinese
