great harm done in letting people know this. | If it is adequate, then the very young who have been educated through English will help to demonstrate this fact when they go out to give to their own people, though the native tongue, what they have gained by means of a foreign- speech. In the meantime, the number of translated books are hardly sufficient to educate these first few generations of college classes.
We repeat the invitation to a free discussion of this question, but we feel that there is cer tainly room for the English school, as the argument now stands, and we are gratified to know that Dr. Bergen is "in warmest sympathy with the English work-South China Colle.

The second question we would put to those who know the Chinese language concerns its syntax. We think such scholars would do a real service to all educators in the Empire if they would prove conclusively either that the Chinese language is capable, or that it is not capable, of expressing fine distinctions of thought and making abstruse truths intelligible.gian. Our knowledge of one of the dialects leads us to think such power may be wanting to the language, but we are quite aware of the in- sufficiency of such evidenco Only, those aducators who, like the writer, are dependent

others, would be glad for some sort of demonstration of the affirmative or negative of this question.
It is needits to show that Chiacie falls to meet the requirements for a single lad
The Ruage and for ease of, acquisition. twofold style of speech and writing, and the
■ymbols to be mastered, multitude of complex make the labour incident to elementary educa tion very great, The use of the printed collo. quial in the various sections of the land as a purveyor of news and instruction would greatly Alleviate the case, but still leave the road to knowledge strait and tortuous. We do not think it quite, accurate to say, as Dr. Woods does, that language is purely a servant. Lan gunge is an artistic possession of the race. as well as a tool, but the artistic quality of the tool must never be allowed to interfere with its service as a tool. A language fit for education inust be easy fur all to master.
Therefore the su. gestion that the Japanese and the Chinese should simplify their native toogues by adopting a phonetic alphabet for general use is by no means farfetched. The sole unsettled point is this: Are there a sufficient number of distinct syllables in these languages to render an alphabet usable? If the distinct syllables are limited in number, there may be great confusion caused by the frequency of identical written symbols having different meanings. The Cantonese dialect can be writteù in the Roman alphabet, and a trained Chinese can read manuscript so written without even the tone marks. Moreover, if the syllables are sufficient to, reader the spoken language intelligible, where the written characters do not aid in discrimination of identical sounds, why would not a phonetic representation of the same language be intelligible? This seems Lo to indicate that the spoken dialects can alphabetized (as, in fact, several of them have been in literature). Then, why not alphabetiza

be intelligible, and will not such : be abundantly rewarded when we have thereby put the best thought within the reach of all who simply learn the English alphabet or some other? In this connection we should like to
repeat the practical reflection of Dr. Woods, that romanized colloquial should be taught generally in Christian Churches and schools, Let us help to break down the barriers of pride, if they are also the barriers of ignorance, The progressive students of China can do this far easier than any foreigners.
The conclusions reached by Dr. Woods seem sope and modest. Let a limitel number of young men and women learn English. The education acquired through English will give them the knowledge and breadth of view ne cessary to leaders, and they will be able to improve, alphabetize, or, it may be, supersede their native tongue. The many must for the present be taught through Chinese, That there should be a certain number of specialists in Chinese among the foreign educators is equally necessary. The Chinese educated through English and the foreign masters of Chinese will unite in the work of translation, and as renovators of the language of the people.
The second article on this question takes the form of a brief outline, and we shall simply offer a few comments upon its statements.
Dr. Bergen begins by stating that since the renaissance the use of Latin has steadily de clined. This implies that Latin was used for a longer or shorter period in scholarly literature. But this just parallels, all that any advocate of English education in China contends for: that is, that a portion of the young men and women be educated for the present through English, till the number of well-trained native scholars is sufficient for the improvement and development of their own language. Dr. Ber gen's argument can have no bearing upon the present, but must refer, only to some future time. The immense enrichment of European thought and languages through the thorough knowledge of Latin and Greek can be paral- leled in Chinese only through a similar know- ledge of some great western language. Mean. while let the Chinese find a plan for borrowing thought and words, and when they have well begun its operation let English go. We must bear in mind, however, that all European lan- guages arealphabetic, and can therefore never be- compared on equal terms with Chinese. There the creation of new compounds orborrowing of foreign words is comparatively easy; here it is difficult and awkward.
Dr. Bergen calls attention to the remarkable fact, after overlooked, that the difference be- tween the dialects of China is chiefly a differ- ence of pronunciation. In a sense China may be said to have one universal language. This is truly a striking fact. If Mandarin could be taken as the standard pronunciation of thin multiform language, and be alphabetized and enriched with borrowed treasures, it would mean a new birth of thought in China. Man darin has been romanized, we believe, but bbw can we secure it a fair trial?
The length of time needed to master Eng. lish is really not o argument against higher education through English. It takes more time to build a railroad than to make a patb. It takes more money to construct a trans. Pacific steamer than to lay down a simpan, but the steamer goes farther and carries more. Those who would see the world had better take the steamer. Besides being the vehicle of education in the sciences for such students, the English language is to them what the study of Latin, Greek, German and French and other intellectual and nesthetic training are to a con. siderable partion of the favoured young men
and women of the west,
To the argument that educating young men through English meant a partial loss to their own land, we think it sufficient to rep'y that the loan is only apparent, Citizenship makes itself fell in other ways through words. There must be highly educated leaders for thought and for deeds. We bell-ve that these thoroughly trained young men, if zealous for the good of their native land, will find it so in. superable barrier to their full usefulness that they were not jaught in school the technical language of their own people. Rather, their superior mental training will enable them, ar things now stand, to master that language randily, and to extend and improve i
The use of English delays the use of Chinese, Dr. Bargen thinks, and leads people to think Chinese is not fit for such use, If it is Not quite adequate at present, there is no
