CHINESE TONGUE. GOVERNMENT'S NEW VERNACULAR SCHOOL.
The taking over of the old Salyingpun School building for the purpose of promoting develop- ment in Vernacular education was foreshadowed at yesterday's Board of Education meeting, the Chairman (Mr. G. N. Orme, Director of Education) stating that it would be a new Vernacular middle school embodying the pre- sent Chinese men's normal school and providing means for higher vernacular learning.
It was hoped in this way to be able to recruit teachers and to form an avenue to the University, said the Chairman. He trusted that the University would assist them in their attempt to raise the standard of vernacular education. Several Chinese gentlemen had offered considerable assistance in the way of scholarships for im pecunious boys. The Vernacular Sub-Committee had met and had approved the proposal, which included the taking over of the Saiyingpun School. It was pro- posed to start on a moderate scre Crepe Rub. sole Canvas Shoes $7 large school, where there would be and later develop it into a fairly Buckskin $i good opportunities for a thorough, Repairing & Soling 2 Specialty||grounding in vernacular studies.

If the School proved popular no doubt the Government would 1474||eventually consider the desir.
ability of erecting a new building. The Chairman also referred to proposals which had been made for the linking up of higher and primary classes at le girls normal; school and for the privision of a nuclets of a Normal School in the New Territories to train teachers for the village schools. Both were receiving attention.
Questioned as to the purpose of such schools the Chairman said. that the intention was to train teachers in the classics, bring them up in the life of which they were. naturally called but also to give them a good grounding in the) classics.
In reply to Mr. Aives the Chairman said that the possibility of imparting agricultural instruc- tion had not been considered.
The Estimates.
When the Estimates for the coming year were considered the estimated expenditure on the new Vernacular Middle School re- ferred to by the Chairman was found to be $18,000. Savings to be effected on the giving up of floors at present occupied by the men's Normal School would bring the net expenditure to $10,000. British masters in the employ of; the Government would be in- creased from 27 to 31 owing to the demands of the new Saiying- 'pun School.
Dealing with the building pro- gramme for the coming year, the Chairman said it was his inten- tion, if the Board agreed, to ask that a commencement should be made with two new schools on the Kowloon peninsula, one on the West and one on the East, to serve the growing population. there. The two schools would be more or less on the lines of the present Yaumati School, with somewhat similar accommoda- tion. He hoped they would be begun and, if possible, finished during the year. Then there was also the provision of a smaller school at Cheung Chau, which he hoped would also be begun during the year.
The Chairman referred to the proposal to establish Technical Institute Classes in Kowloon. Among the subjects taught would be chemistry, physics, mathema- tics, French, shorthand, etc. The classes would start in October, and, if successful, would' be extended.
i
Mr. Alves pleaded for publicity in connection with the classes. He was sure they would be much appreciated by Kowloon people.
Mr. Ralphs: It only remains for the public of Kowloon to show their appreciation by attending the classes.
Mr. Ralph's also added that advertisements and notices would be issued before the classes started.
It was proposed, the Chairman proceeded, to form a staff library in the Board Room. The idea was to provide books which would be most useful. If possible they would incorporate other libraries with it and consolidate as far as possible the advantage of having a central library accessible to the staff. They would also make the room a meeting place for the staff, and if it proved popular and successful it was possible the idea. would be extended.
The meeting approved the estimates.
The Chairman announced that
a School Medical Officer had now been appointed, Mrs. Minett had been appointed, and as soon Mrs. Hickling returned, which would be in a few weeks, she would commence her duties
