"We have heard of young men in this country," says Mr. Foo, drily, "who have graduated in three or four years at most, and who were regarded as having finished their education, who in fact considered themselves educated to a degree of proficiency beyond which further study were superfluous. In China there is no fixed time for graduating, no limit...
