Abstract
THE meeting which was held in the Mansion House last week, and presided over by the Lord Mayor, shows that at last an interest is being taken in this country in the education of China in Western science and literature. Further proofs of the same interest are given by the movement promoted by Sir Frederick Lugard, the Governor of Hong Kong, for the foundation of a university in that colony, and of another by the German authorities in the province of Shantung. The larger question of Chinese university education, already undertaken by the Chinese authorities, is at present under the consideration of a joint committee of members of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, so that it looks as if the Chinese are not likely to want for advice and assistance in carrying out the educational development of their country.
