CHINA REVIEW
China's Educational Problem
It has been estimated that there are more than 40,000,000 children, of school age in China, and that half of them are not given educa - tional facilities. No doubt, the farmer class still adheres to the old. belief that education identifies itself with aristocracy and that know- ledge is an unnecessary attainment for tillers of the soil. The Chi- nese Government, however, should correct this wrong conception. and do all it can to raise the standard of life among the masses.
"According to the report of. Mr. Wang Ching Wel at the Kuling. Conference, the Ministry of Education has decided to give at least 80 per cent of these school age children free education through- its five-year compulsory education plan. In 1935 "the total amount expended or compulsory education was $14,700,000, and in 1936 the amount rose to 520.120,000. The number of children in school for that period also increased by over 5,000,000.
Illiteracy among adults has also received the serious attention of the Education Ministry, which is working out a six-year plan to fight it. Last year 12.000.000 grown-up people learned to read and write, and more than 4.300.000 copies of the special textbooks for
mass education were distributed. In addition to the formal educa-

HONG KONG, SEPTEMBER 14, 1937.
NOW WHAT'S THE GAME?
We have been so sickened by the insincerity of the Government
masses.
Confucius
The birthday of Confucius was celebrated quietly this year. On account of the disturbing news that is continually pouring in from the mother country, the Chinese community in Malaya, with due consideration for their compatriots who are either fighting in the war or are suffering in consequence of it, deemed it necessary to withhold from public celebrations. If the doctrine of this great. sage is universally practised, the world would be spared from many struggles. At least the present one would not have happened.
Probably no man has been so condemned during his lifetime. and at the same time, so worshipped by posterity, as Confucius. His standard of morality was high, and his doctrines were pure. Had he, therefore, had an opportunity of exercising authority, It could but have resulted in good to an age when the notions of right and wrong were strangely confused, and when public and private morality were at the lowest ebb.
On the other hand. It is difficult to understand the secret of the extraordinary influence he has gained över posterity, and the more the problem is studied the more incomprehensible does it become, when viewed from the European standpoint. His system of philosophy. though incomplete, has supplied the guiding principles which have actuated the performance of all that is "great and noble in the life of China for more than twenty centuries.
North China Riches
