was originally ‘a/'sane intel-

charge 
brought against the system to-day 
in that’ it is purely; training in

Tf the whole system has degenernt- 
ed into a process of inemary atuffing 
the charge perhaps ought not to 
be laid at the door of Confucius but 
at that of the examination system 
which followed Jater. 
It is not only

In all the diggussions upon.

to be overlooked, namely, that the 
old system was an ethical education, 
and that the term clagsien) is mis- 
leading if it brings to the mind of

day wore superimposed upon, after 
auch hesitation, and never displaced 
the religious or moral clement in 
school and college, whereas in China 
they’ have always combined the two 
agpects: 
: 
; 
The Virtues of the Race. 
We have the widespread 
‘belief, 
then, that somehow or other, there 
is enshrined 
within ‘the language 
itself all the, virtues of the: race, 
and the ‘neglect, thereforg,, of this 
cult—for it is a form of worship— 
can only, be at’ the ‘expense of those 
virtues and qualities which are -re- 
flected 
in -Chinese 
art, 
and 
in 
the ceremonial. of . 
daily :life—these 
are, it is felt, all in danger of be- 
coming .extinet, 
if the old system 
with its emphasis on cthical and 
moral principles is displaced. 
Such 
supporters 
.of 
the .old: 
doctrine 
would: 
not 
agree 
then 
that ‘the 
language study 
of the 
past was 
either a mere fetish, or was barren 
in results. , 
: They - would ‘argue that the law 
abiding nature of the Chinese, their 
love ‘of ‘parents, their, intense. love 
‘of pence, 
their patience—capacity 
to endure hardship, and their in- 
dustry were the direct outcome of 
such study and the chaos in public 
life to-day,. and lack of disciplizie 
and want of reverence for authority 
are the price that is now, being paid 
becausg of this disloyalty to, and 
desertion of the old learning. They 
would no doubt agree that science 
had been sacrificed in the past, bit 
would ‘argue. that the pattern’ of 
the moral life which was woven by 
the people through the-study of the 
old philosophers was something that 
gave purpose unity and quality to 
the race,’ and more than ‘compen- 
sted f6r the absetice of mechanical

Moreover, 
he 
roundly 
asserts 
thatthe Chinese ‘character. is good 
not because of, but in spite of the 
dulling and stupefying effects which 
the drudgery of the’ former. aystem 
imposed.. 
The greater number of 
Chineso youth who were exposed 
to the influences of stich lenrning 
never arrived at the point of under- 
standing 
the ~ doctrines, 
to. 
which 
their arduous study was meant to 
lead’: them, ‘and 
character must have been establish. 
ed by other means, 
What, were 
these other means? 
As a. general 
rule the children were taught cither 
within the bosom of the family or 
in a small group ina. school by a 
scholar specially engaged for this 
purpose. 
The child's moral and’ in- 
tellectual” development, therefore, 
must have been moulded very large- 
fy by these two: factors—the home 
life and the teacher's example, and 
very slightly if at all by the subject 
of his’ reading. 
This ia not n strong argument, of 
course, 
for obviously while it may 
be admitted that the youth derived 
very little practical or moral benefit 
from 
his Gonfucius and Mencius, 
yet the anme-could riot be said 
of 
the teacher, 
who 
hnd 
procecded 
much further and. no doubt with 
greater profit, in the course, 
and 
who, therefore, 
probably 
did em- 
body and express. within 
his life 
the ideals of his masters. 
If then 
the child did derive his standards 
by imitation 
rather than through 
personal 
study 
it would 
still “be 
possible for the old Classicists to | 
claim that. the influence 
of Con- 
fucius ond Mencius was ‘dominant 
in moulding the thought and be- 
haviour of the Chinese, and that a 
| discontinuance 
of such ‘schools of 
study would imperil the moral struc- 
ture of Chinese socicty.: 
: 
It is thought that the advocates 
of this, doctrine ought: to be satis- 
fied if excerpts are given from the

In 1582 his wife joined the ‘church

| THE INDIAN RIOTS. 
Ir is. easy 
to understand the out- 
burst of rage among Indian 
ox- 
tremists over the Lahore executions. 
! Sympathy with the three murder- 
‘ers, probably, did not enter 
into 
iit at all seriously, but there would 
have been a real 
victory for the 
enuso of disorder if the Government. 
could have’ been 
bullied into 
re- 
prieving these men. 
The precedent 
would ‘havo been ‘established. that 
when 
British 
police officers are 
murdered only a little shouting and 
a few threats are needed, and tho 
authorities 
will allow the quality 
of mercy to be’ strained into-Jetting 
tho assassins escnpe' the 
proper 
penalty 
of their deeds. 
The ‘police 
forex would have ‘been ‘discouraged 
at sucha failure to accord them 
support and ‘protection, and British 
‘reputation 
for firmness and 
im- 
partjality would have‘ received. 
n 
serious sct-back. 
There, docs not 
bruto-power and persistance, ‘which 
is; perhaps,-n portent that they do 
not mein to part with their power.” 
These are the angry words of o 
mari.wha knows he kas beer beatens 
but they,.go-faa to. confirm Lord 
 Busisitas’s scathing indictment of 
Mr. Ganpur, 
, It-is most: unfortu- | 
nate that the outburst should have 
oceurred ‘at this time. 
It shows, 
however, 
the deep-seated | hostility 
of the irreconciliables of India thnt 
they should: have allowed an in- 
cident of criminal administration 
to ‘upset ecrious:; politienl issues. 
That they should have, exploited 
this cage on the chance of placing 
the .Government 
in, the “apparent 
dilemma/of.showing.cither wettkneas 
on the’ one hand or‘ brutality ’” 
on the other, reveals their mentality. 
rt’ is ‘not to thé, professional, pali- 
ticians that the goferning. of India 
can be trusted. 
5 7 
But because a certain element has 
power to ercate dissatisfaction and 
disorder on the scale of the riots at 
Cawnpore, this does not mean that 
tho work pf remodelling the Gov- 
ernment of India on a federal basis 
is not’ to go forward. 
As Lord 
Sankey reminded 
tha Hotse’ of 
Lords: 
|“ An nppeal 
to force is 
-| 
the bankruptey of statccraft.” The 
futura of India is no longer in the 
melting pot.” The'metal of ita now 
constitution is being hammered out 
on 
the anvil ‘of public opinion. 
lTt is in the nature of things that 
the sparks should fly, . 
- 
It is 
too late to go back. 
We faust go 
forward.’ 
‘It is our 
traditional 
policy 
and 
the 
secret 
of . 
our 
success’!

RUGBY FOOTBALL IN

Tnene was. genuine regret among

“when ‘the announcement was made

Grim Coincidences, 
ne 
In connection’ with the tragedy of 
“the bound ‘undergraduate at Sidney 
Sussex College, an amazing” coin- 
cidence was that a fortnight boforo 
‘the Granta had issued a burlesque 
number dealing with the supposed 
case 
of an 
undergraduate’ found 
dead in mysterious circumstances. 
Tho editor of the Granta tells of a 
cdincidence 
even 
more 
oxtra- 
ordinary. “On a certain, Tuesday 
lest. May we had in print,'’-ho said, 
“a story about an undergraduate 
who murdered his'tutor, and wo had 
posters ready bearing 
the words, 
‘Murder 
in-the 
Second 
Court.’ 
That afternoon, at the'meeting of 
the editoria] staff, news renched us 
of the dreadful 
affair 
at 
King’s, 
where an undergraduate did shont. 
his tutor, 
-F had a hectic time get- 
ting tho posters stopped.and hastily 
substituting 
something 
more 
in- 
nocuous.”
