MACAO.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT]),

Macao, 21st November,

I am afraid those who aro upholding the Lyceum are quite in the dark as to what it is. Had they studied its pro- gramme, they would have seen how useless it would be for Macao. Years are absorbed in the study of purely speculative subjects, and when the course is completed, the student must either follow higher studios, more spo- culative studies, to get a social position, or begin a new course of professional learning, in order to earn his living. Now, is thero really, practically, a prospect of Macao youths having on- ployments here that require a thorough Lycanm curriculum ? Supposing there, are such situations opened to them, will they prefer them to higher salaries to be obtained in a commercial career?, Will they go to Coimbra for a position in life? If not, will they study for the empty glory of being philosophers.

No. The promoters of the Lyceuin

are under a delusion, or mean t deceive others. So far, I have seen only vague assertions in favor of tho Lycoam. No one has analysed the programme of the boasted institution, and demonstrated its usefulness, or its adaptability to the requirements of Mucao. They are going to amalga mate two educational establishments at Macao and blot out the word "Commercial" from the tablet of one of them; they are going to amalgamate their funds and their resources, they are going to shake mountains to bring forth this expectation of the valleys; they are going to destroy, in order to robuild. Success to the roformers i
