The well-attended assembly, represents tive of Chinese eluestion in the Colony, which this afternoon did honour to Dr grudgingly. We do not marvel at the Eitol on his impending retirement from language used in the Chinese address, for official life in Hongkong, must have been we have been led on in spite of ourselves to orainently gratifying to the many friends wlopt a sinflar style of eulogy. There is'a of the worthy Inspector of Schools. We good story told of a wise man in ancient aay well believe that this extensive clean Europe, who, like the Inspector of Schools, includes not a fow porsone who are liks. { had much to do with the education of minded with the learned and kindly In-Pouth, in which work the wise ancient
spector in seeking to foster and maintain also achieved distinction. When told that cordiality, goodwill, and all mutually-help-ho was profoundly wise, he ran away, and ful relations between Chinese and non.yet returned to accept the compliment, for Chinese residents. To such individuals, said he, I know that I knew nothing, and to-day's meeting was not only a pleasur. I have met with no other man so wise. If able but also a suggestive and instructive to understand Dr Eitol, his first strong function. An address, published in another inclination will be to run away from our column, which all teachers of Government 'respectful praise. We hope, however, Grunt-in-a'd Schools and members of the that am second thoughts he will scoopt in Education Department Staff joined in pr. the spirit in which it is paid not a 'com. sentiug, passen in review, briefly and compliment' but a line or two of tribute to his prehensively, Dr. Eital's administration of ripe scholarship, conscientions work, and the Department since his appointment in many fine qualities of mind and heart. 1878. It in hitting that subscribers to the address should hear appreciative testimony to, a control from which the Chinese ccm- munity in Hongkong has derived obvious and striking educational advantages. When Dr Eitel succeeded the late Dr Ata- wart in office, the time was ripe for further developments in the Government system of education for Chinese his endeavours to extend and improve the system deserve
respectful praise.'
A more noteworthy feature of this ad - dresa is the personal element. Concerning the Inspector of Schools, tho Chinese hare contrived to any with their usual felicity of eulogy much in a little; for the man they have expressed in a few well-chosen words -borrowed chiefly from their own classics -the highest admiration and esteem. Ap- parently, Dr Eitel had discovered an 'open sesame' to the Chinese mind and heart. Wherein lies the secret? Is it not in a
