EDUCATION IN CHINA

Rotary Talk By Dr. Stuart

An interesting address on "Education in Relation to Internal. Reconstruction in China,” was delivered by Dr. J. Leighton Stuart, Litt D., of Yenching University, Felping, at the weekly' tiffin of the Rotary Club' held at the Hong Kong Hotel yesterday.

Mr. M. K. Lo presided and there was a large gathering of members present 'including the following guests: Rotarian R. K. Batchelor of Canton; Rotarian K. G. McNab of Toronto; Mr. W. J. Wilson of Shanghai, and Mr. G. R. Sayer, Director of Education. Dr. Stuart began by saying that people were, proportionately speak as the ideal of a Rotary Club was | ing, quite small Yet of this num- International service he felt sure her only 2,000 could find employ-

One of the chief problems of education in China to-day, he sale,

was the returned students classes.

Thus it reflected the im- pression being made on the minds of the population that a college education does not lead to employ

There had been a great deal of made all the more essential that criticism of the Chinese students educators and especially the Gov- who had gone abroad and sequired ernment should strive to find a the best modern education and solution to this problem." College who on their return to their own ❘ students could become the most country had frequently proved a dangerous revolutionary agitators disappointment or failure. "The and in their disappointment would reason for this was perhaps due to easily fall into the hands of radical. the fact that after acquiring know elements. ledge of conditions in other coun- tries they came back and expected It to be the same while at the same time" falling to put into account for the national welfare all the knowledge which they had master- ed abroad. It was only fair to say, however, that many of these students had been more of a dis- appointment to themselves than to their nationals. There was no excuse to try to explain that they went abroad with patriotic idealism and with a real desire to master some useful knowledge and on their return to apply it to their country's welfare.

For the educators, the "problem was one of finding what vocations were necessary for welfare of the nation. The only hopeful thing in China was the widespread interest of her people, and in this connec- tion courses in journalism, rural" services, district administration, rural co-operative, public health, eto, had been established. These illustrated the possibilities, from the standpoint of the educators.

Another thing was mass. education Dr. James Yen and a group of medical students were at présent leading a force of Chinese college students in this direction. They were being sought after by reconstruction, activity leaders in various provinces of the country. That sort of thing could be extended in all phases of recon- structive progress.
