TWO CHINESE STUDENTS.
. (Exchange). “
The degree of Chuden, or Picked
Man, often translated "M. A." in Eng-
lish, In China can be gained only by
learning. in “Round About My
Pekln Garden" Mrs Little tells of a
poor Chinese who had been for years
earning a scanty living by teaching.
He had also for 30 years been going
up for examination to obtain the cov-
eted degree. and still, though he had
failed six times, he was not. discour-
aged.
“The teacher came to see us, and
brought his little boy, a grave but
then. rosy little fellow, with the round.
innocent face so taking in Chinese
oys.
“Then came the period when he
was 12 years old. and it transpired
that he had been for some time c0n~
tributiug to. the family income by
writing inscriptions to be pasted up
outside houses during the great
Chinese New Year festivity, and was
already so celebrated for his call;-
rnphy that that year he was to have
a stall in the street all to himself.
“But now at last came a triennial
examination, when my husband re-
fused to contribute to the poor teach-
er's expenses. saying, “You are already
a Hsuitsni (“Budding talent," or “B.
A."). Real. satisfied with that. Why
should you waste your own and your
friends’ money again trying for what
you will never attain? You are ad-
vancing in years, too. Best quietly at
home.’
"But the teacher replied, ‘lt. Is not
but
my son. too, and i must. go, if it be
only to take care of him. ‘
“'What that chlid?’ exclaimed my
husband. The boy was bareiy16.'0h
well, then i'll tell you what Ill do
1'" contribute to your expenses so
far as to let both you and your son
live in my house while you are at. the
provincial capital}
”The poor teacher thanked him
warmly, and refused to accept the cus-
tomary offering of money. saying
in
giving them house room. Neverthe-
less, a small shoe of silver. as it. is
called, was pressed into his son‘s
hand, and the two went forth to con-
tend against all the talent of the
province.
"There were between 10.000 and
15. 000 scholars up for examination
that year and only 296 degrees to be
accorded. Yet. when my husband ar-
lived at the provincial capital he
found his house placurtled with the
largest possible clIIIructeIs unnounc
ing the unparallele success of both
father and son ‘resld ng in this house.’
Such inscriptions are commonly put
up in letters of gold over family resli
deuces.

his many years of experience, bowed
before the young lad, whose should
