EASTERN ASTUTENESS.
The Cleverness of the Chinese.
A few days ago Dr. Mac- Gillivray sent us a charming letter describing how he had found a group of tram labourers gather- ed, in their luncheon hour, about! 18 man who was reading to them a novel of the Ming period; also of a street watchmen engrossed in a table of a Buddhist priest and his many adventures, comments the And North China Daily News. commenting on this evidence of the delight of common Chinese workmen, not in modern saws and Bolshevist instances, but in the wonderful story of their Own wonderful country. Dr. MacGillivrary wished that the word "coolie" were not so deep- y embedded in the Shanghai vocabulary, bearing as it does the tain of race contempt. Many of us must often have wished that too. But so long as upper elass Chinese continue to think. if not to speak, of their humbler fellow-nationals as "the stupid people." the foreigner is not wholly to blame.
Surely no phrase could he less appropriate to the Chinese, whe ther of high or low degree. Among all the characteristics with which wa try to label them. only to find that every quality ascribed is no more true. of them than is its exact opposite. there can at least be no disputing i their marvellous cleverness. We may pass over exceptional cases: like that of a Chinese professor of į English literature in Edinburgb;
