-ward, also, to the time when China will have a Constitutional Government, it will be readily understood how estential it will be that the language employed in the deliberative assem blies should be identical with the one employed by the people in the common everyday inter-" course of business and social life. One other point of considerable importance is that the possession of a common language should tend

to centralize governmental power, and bring the widely separated provinces and depen- dencies of the Empire isto closer relationship and union with Government.

It is commended by some, that while there is no question as to the desirability of securing a common language for the whole of China, there are, at the same time, grave doubt as to whether the Kuanhua will meet the requirements of the case. If this be so it is difficult to con Jecturë what could be advanced as a substitute Kounhua is at present the prevailing speech of all but, three provinces and probably is understood by at least five-sixths of the whole population of the Empire.
