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 and scientific: knowledge.’ If the claimant demand. of. the’ Scientist means the sacrifice, as on first view it. appears, it. docs, of ‘this well. “| woven pattern then the scientist is incurring a responsibility ‘which he. mukt at least recognise and not shirk..

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 ‘Confucian Classica or if a series of books. dealing’ with ‘citizenship are provided as a substitute for the moral. teaching. which is so much stressed by the Confucianists, Such teaching, however, will Jack the authority and the urge to right ac- |, tion or the application of the-moral | principles in the daily tife, Which the ritual;-ceremonial and. prestige, that surrounded the Confucian anon in the past, provided...

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 FRANCE. Tnene was. genuine regret among all interested in’ Rugby football “when ‘the announcement was made that. no more Rugby matches will be played, between.

The governing hodies of the Tngby hgame can only desire that it should flourish in France as in other caun- tries, and of that desire they have given ar ple proof in. the past. An interruption of the old relations has been made ‘necessary by: circum: stances and conditions which could no longer be" ignored.. It has for some time. been apparent to ob: servers that the, game in France |.” was in need of a more rigorous control, The French Press has» been making. urgent demands that the authorities. should set their house in order.
