It supplies the phice uf a national eduoauoa law, at;l stimulates every active in tellect ta laborious duty. Every Chinese; father hopes that his sou may prove a succcaeful student, may pass two, t least, of the public ex aminations, and become at last a public ot&ciaL For this be prays, sacrifices, consults the sooth-sayers, the geomancers and the fates. The birth of a sea is hailed in China with loud rejoicings; for the son, under the civil service system, may become one of the ruling aristocracy, and bring ta his family distinction and wealth. The education of the young Chi nese is therefore caxefaliv provided for. Until seven oreight years old he plays in the streets unchecked. Uis laLaer, "the veuerabie severe one,"' watches over him tenderly. He is sent to school, learns hie letters, and theu begine to commit by ear the moral lessons of Mencius and Con fucius. He learns from the "Four Books ' that man is burn good, but that the world is evd. He begins to write carefully with his camel s hair brusd and ink. From mat in te morning until six o'clock in the evening the school-boys bum their lessons, and the din of a Chinese school-room is said to be intolerable. The student next practices compo sition, and prepares himself fur that rapid writing so priced by the East ern races. He now presents himself for the first of the tnree state examinations. His name, description and appear ance are entered m a register. The i examinations are held twice in every year before an officer of high ranlc in the perfectoral cities.
