Long, before Confucius, their: great law giver, 'BVed 'snd taught," to the vouth of the lind, that system of moral 'philédophy * and social order, handed down fe:théri from their great forefathers, and' called the "Ancient System'! even then, long befori~ this educntion was held in such great es teem among them that the highest of fices of state were only conferred 'on men of learning. Every district was obliged by law, to maintain a publie school to which all boys were 'sent aw soon as they were eight years bld, to be instructed in whitibg, reading and arithmetic, as well as in certain max: ims and niles from. theip: ancient' ka- cred: books for their set ial guidanck is alter years: .
