Tlivt work of the missionaries is at last beginning to receive official sanction and they entertain hopes that eventually the Chinese brush ink block and ink tablet will have j to go to give place to more mod ern methods of communicating ideas. j Their purpose is not only to j simplify China 's handwri ting, sys , tern but to give the country a common tongue to replace the pre serit- day label which renders even the native who is away from his own home district almost as help less as a foreigner. The system of phonetic script now urged upon the Chinese was worked" out in England in 1903 bv Wain Chao. Beside its 39 characters, it contains 10 nume rals. There aiv no capitals. Rev. T. G. Tewsburg, of Shane-J hai, secretary of the China Sun-1 day School Union, and a member j of the Phonetic Promotion Com-) mittee, who has devoted 30 years to teaching in China, has put the new script into use on Ameiean ; j typewriters "vjth complete vue jcess. For this purpose typewrit-j ers with blank type faces are ob tained from the factories and th characters are cut from these facts here by Chinese engravers. That the Peking government attaches importance to theeffort being made is seen in the follow ing excerpt from a recent man date issued by the Ministry of Education. "We recognize that because of the difference between our classi cal and-spoken language, educa tion in the schools makes slow progress ami the keen edge of the spirite of union, both between j individuals and in society at large ihas thereby been bllftitetl. More over, if we do not take prompt steps to make the written and spoken language the same piick ly. any plans for developing onr civilization wi.ll siindy fail."
