CONFUCIANISM IN DANGER.

AN INTERESTING ARTICLE. -

The Universal Gazette discusses the found ing of Colleges by Westerners in various places. A Kingdom without independence cannot stand. Such is an unquestioned principle, admitted alike in ancient as well as modern times. Of late years, we Chinese have silently observed the steady advance of Europe.eastward. We behold her gradually insinuating herself into our bosoms, now obtaining a bit of our patrimony, and again some point of vantage like the Customs, cic. This is largely owing to the fact that our officials are always wise after the event. Not a soul among them has over thought out a knotty problem of international politics, until after China had lost her case. WHERE ARE THE MEN OF FORETHOUGHD? | They are conspicuous, by their absence. They are all lie the man at cher who sees his mistake after he has made his move whep it is too late to recall it, instead of calculating the results of his move in advance. Our states-

with. What lover of his country can view such things with equanimity?

When China was in darkness, we gladly wel comed these foreign schools, that they might open the way to'n wiser system of education, But now things are different, The Emperor has ordered the establishment of schools and colleges in every province. Let it be done, and we hope it will be done.. We will then havé national schools under our own govern, ment auspices. We will no longer be paupers receiving doles from Western nations. And so we say, the time has come to dispense with thesa schools under foreign nuspices. Yet we must admit that the roay picture we have drawn is in

L

NO HURRY TO BE REALIZED.

Over three months have passed.and our great men have scarcely stirred a finger to open the Schonts and Colleges promised us in the Edict, and lo, the foreigner avails himself of this slothful neglect, and plants his College with great ecla. Our govemors order: the sign boards over the doors of the effete Shuyuan to be changed to "Schools," and then sink back" exhausted with their efforts at educatioanl re- form Come, wake up! What do you mean by allowing the foreigners to get in ahead of you with their Colleges? Notwithstanding indemnities, there is money in the country for this purpose and it is a pressing duty to secure it, and carry out the Edicts from the provincial Colleges down to the meanest village. Only thus will the religion of Confucius be establish- ed on firm foundations.. Otherwise we cannot rell whether men's hearts will be seduced.- Shanghai Mercury.

THE DEMOLITION OF THE FORTS,

Few

have an adequate notion of the magnitude of the work now going on in de- molishing the Pei Yang forts in Chih-li. Some- thing like sixty million cubic feet of earth, in- volving a weight of over three million tons, have to be removed to a considerable distance. The state of the work at pieseni is, roughly speaking, as follows:-the six camps at Sin-ho, involving 700,000 c. ft., are finished: the Taku forts and magazines, involving 20,000,000 c. ft., are half done: the five forts and magazine-camp at Pei-tang, involving ro,000,000 c. ft., are. about one third finished Lutai some 30 small camps involving 4,000,000 c. ft. have progressed to the extent of one fourth: at Shan Hai Kwan, five forts involving 17,500,000 c. ft., are just begun; and at Hsin-Cheng, works involving some 10,000,000 c. ft. are not yet

begun on account of the dilatoriness of the. native contractor who purchased the brick facing; this man has not removed his property. Summing up in a rough and ready manner, about one third of the whole may be said to have been accomplished.

The camps as a rule consist wholly of earth and offer few difficulties. The forts however are a stiffer job, as the gun emplacements are of really excellent cement, and the walls possess tough skin of rammed "lime and earth, which has to be removed before the navvies can get

the softer material inside.

Casual inspection of the work in hand is very deceiving we were completely taken in by the North-west fort at Taku; from the outside the forts have much of their former appearance be- cause the outer scarp and rampart are left

men are somehow always second in the race. Then it is a chorus of "Ch if only, etc." But it is too late, golbye to another grand chance, Hence we have plenty of rascals who, seeingstanding, but in truth all the massive earth

that their own officials care not a filip for the protection of their Nationals in trade, hang out foreign signboards, or enter the foreign religion. The expect that as converts they will receive, distinguished attention front officials who would not deigr. to look at them, as ordinary citizens.

THE SOOCHOW COLLEGE.. We note that a certain Dr. Pai Lowen has collected a vast sum of money to build a college at Soochow. When collecting the money in America, he told the people that unless the College were opened, it would be impossible to alter the conservatism of the people. At the same time the Chinese were not all bar barians and some subscriptions might be got out of Soochow gentry and merchants, so he offered to raise in the proportion of ten from the Americans to one from the Chinese.. Ten housand was subscribed by the Chinese when the Boxer outbreak put a temporary stop to the enterprise. But now peace is restored, and the College is now going forward.

The spectacle afforded by these energetic missionaries, la very instructive. We cannot but thank them for all their labour and for all money they freely expend on educational in- stitutions for our benefit...

BUT THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE. Every sach institution is a standing reproach to us. Why do we not educate our own peo pie, instead of depending on the charity and philanthropy of other nations. Suppose I have a son whom I refuse to educate, until some outsider comes along and takes him of to his school: is such conduct creditable to ma as a father? We trow not: We are perfectly able financially to do all the foreigner offers to do for us. Surely we ought to blush at the thought of the pauper position in which we have placed ourselves as a nation. Alas, a nation that depends on other nations to educate its sons is no longer worthy of the name. Strike it off the list of nations, and write it downa pauper1 :

dents

But more deplorable still, the students of such schools will naturally learn to like the foreign systems, and correspondingly dislike And the institutions of their native land. scholars are ever the leaders of the other classes in the State. Hence it is easy to see whither scholars educated in foreign schools will by and by lead all who come under their influence, EVERY GRADUATE WILL BE ANOTHER
