With a frank and open heart tho tvo Governments sent messengers to each other, and this resulted in a complete mutual, understanding by the Winter of 1927. It was said of old: "Solemn in his robe of offico, "without exHihiting the alightest sign of emotion, he can bring to the people A peace 29 lasting as Mount Tai." May not these words be aptly applied to Your Excellency?
With the restoration of com- munications peace once more reign- ed.
But the promotion of Chinese studies in the Colony was languish- ing, and It was felt that this defect was not conducive to the people's enlightenment. Therefore Your Excellency called together the peo ple to discuss with them the pro- blem; and, as the result, you found- ed a Chinese School in the Univer- sity of Hong Kong for promoting the higher study of Chinese litera ture. You also established a class for tenching Cadets Chinese to en able them to acquire a substantial knowledge of the language. In this way, the spirit of the students of Chinese has undergone a profound change: they now scorn the super- ficial and the casual.
Righteousness and Culture

During the four years of your administration Your Excel- lency has, by an underfating policy. led the people along the path of righteousness and culture, compare Your Excellency's work with the work of over-zealous officials who harass the people to no purpose, is to bring to light the vast difference between good and inefficient government. The laws of Heaven towards man are im mutable: those who can gain the
favours of Heaven.
