We congratulate the Hong Kong Government upon their
enterprise in equipping such a magnificent building, and share the hopes of the Governor of the Colony that it may have a "royal future of usefulness and bene- volence." The record of Mr. Morris is a guarantee that this, will be so. Our contemporary prints a list of the "patrons and donors," and it is most interest- ing to find Chinese names, in the majority. Thus, in the greatest of all enterprises, we find that East and West do meet in happy and benefit co-operation.-"The Schoolmaster."
