CHAPTER XXI

THE CHINESE STUDENT 1

FORMERLY I considered the want of discipline and

unnecessary number of soldiers was China's chief

trouble ; I have now come to the conclusion that

the students are an even greater evil, certainly from

the point of view of the foreigner.

The student, usually a wretched half-baked

creature who argues like a small child without fear

of correction, has no solid basis of education to

help him. He picks up a smattering of foreign

learning, which enables him to pose without

difficulty as a superior being among his own people,

who therefore fear him, whilst before the foreigner

he realises his inferiority, causing him a loss of face

and turning him to anti-foreign feelings at heart.

If the students were under a strong foreigner,

not afraid of them, the foreign trained student in

China would, no doubt, benefit, but, when he is

under weak foreigners, afraid to stand up to him

in a fight to a finish, the student gets the upper

hand and the prestige of the foreigner sinks. He

judges that all foreigners are weak in the same

way, and the more this feeling takes root, the

more anti - foreign and dangerous he becomes.
