Though Chinese education Is gradually undergoing change, candidates for the title of mandarin still gather Intervals in Chinese citat three-yea- r ies, and the examiners sit in their robes of state under their umbrellas and conduct the examinations. Many of the younger generation nowadays have imbibed a western idea of education ; but many still begin with the Hook of 1J,hne Characters, the Book of a Hundred Families and the P.ook of a Thousand Words, and pursue an educational system that is held to be more than 30 centuries old, to the ultimate triumph of becoming mandarins and enjoying the ceremonial honors, distinctive costume and an individual reputation for wisdom find' learning, that go with the title. The eraminntlon consists in the writing of philosophical and political essays, exposition of the sayings of. Confucius, commenting on Chinese texts and the composition of sentences and maxims ' in prose and verse. The number. of candidates at such examinations still counts up into the thousands. Sometimes their failures, one might say, in the phrase with which western editors return ambitious contributions, have been "due to no lack of merit," for the number of vacancies to be filled at any one time In the list of mandarins Is very small compared with the number of candidates.
