GOOD YEAR'S WORK Housed in a humble building and doing its good work in the educational line, quite unostenta- tiously, the head master of the Sacred Heart College reviewed Food year's work this morning at the annual speech day held in the Majestic Theatre, Yaumati.
In conclusion, I must express my best thanks to the Government for the use of the piece of land opposite our school, as a. play-ground, to all doors of prizes, and to the staff for their assistance, comradeship, devotion, and good work which made the school a distinct success. Mr. Wong, Rev. Fathers, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to thank you all for honouring us with your presence here to-day.
Before distributing the prizes, Mr. Wong Kwong,tin, addressed the boys as follows:

The visitors were welcomed by Mr. Leung Shiu-man, chairman of the College, who said that a speech day was a necessity to every school, for it afforded the opportunity of rewarding the dili- gent students in public for their application to study. Also it act ed as a stimula to the boys who had not won a prize.
The Report Mr.. J. S. Shak, head master, then read the report which was as follows:-
Mr. Wong, Rev., Fathers, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the Sacred Heart College, I bid you all a hearty welcome. When I asked you, Mr. Wong, to distribute again the prizes to our boys, I knew that you would kindly comply with my request, for you always take a keen interest in the educational affairs of this Colony. Your consent to come. again to give away the prizes is
abundant evidence of the concern you have in our College and we are vory grateful to you.
