Hanlin Acnlemy, asks permission to be (2) Huang Sze-yung, a member of the
allowed to raise funds for the establishment of a school to be called "The School of Quick Results." We have 1 ready sanctioned the establishment of a Peking University and five University preparatory colleges, one in each of the tive cities of the capital, and commanded the Assistant Grand Secretary, Sun Chia-nai, and the Censors of the five cities to set to work on them at once. In the present memorial the said Hanlin states that the establishment of the preparatories comparatively easy but that the University, will require time and mature deliberation to put it on a proper and permanent footing and that quick results would be impossible to expect from it. 'The memorialist, therefore, suggests that he be permitted to seek for contributions to open school where scholars may begin as soon as possible to learn something. 'The idea is very good and commendable, and we gladly grant the request for' a trial, Should it turn out to be of use, similar schools, on the memorialist's plan, shall be established throughout the Empire. Ab. any rate, we are glad to see our officers energetically secking to solve problems for the education of the people and desire that our commendation be transmitted to the said memorialist as an encouragement to others.
