DISTINGUISHED COMMENT

EASIER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE. Simpler Papers And Stiffer Marking.
Proposals for the Improvement of the School Certificate examination are contained in the report, issued recently, of a panel of investigators appointed by the Secondary School Examination Council.
The most far-reaching is that Universities should cease to issue Matriculation Certificates..
The School Certificate examina- tion, the report points out, is much imore sultable for pupils, going direct

Carcere in the modern sense were nonexistent. Of course, we wasted lots of time; our teachers were con- stantly ineffelent, but then those of us who had access to books learned from them all the more because we could choose what we wanted to know about and leave the rest.
All that had, however, to go; there is no use to blink the fact: Girls had to face life in a different way, to become factors in the economic world; there is hardly any girl-now who does not wish for a "job," whe ther she actually has to take it for economic reasons or not; and it is said that a "balanced" and all round education is essential.

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.
A Police raid carried out on the top floor of 59, Pok- fulam Road on November 23, led to the discovery of a wire- less station, fitted with a complete short wave transmitting and receiving set. A Chinese, Yeang Chi-hing, allas Yeung Wah-lan, was taken into custody and the apparatus seized. He was alleged to be agent for an unidentified group. The accused was charged in the, Central Police Court yesterday morning before Mr. Wynne-Jones, when he pleaded guilty and was fined the maximum penalty of $1,000, with the alter native of ten months' hard labour. Mr. D. W. Waterton, Inspector of Wireless and Telegraph, who was present in Court, explained that the short wave set could even trans- mit to England. Dat
The case is fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA
Three Japanese coal coolies were killed when a life boat fell from the deck of the C.P.8. liner, Empress of Russia, at Nagasaki harbour. As a result of the accident three members of the Chinese crew were detained by the Naga saki Police, but according to a message received by the local C.P.S. office on November 25, the men have now been re- leased.
According to the crew of the ship, the matter is said to have preyed on the mind of the No. 1 bo'sum, Leung Ying, to such a degree that he jumped overboard during the voyage from Shanghai to Hong Kong.
A report is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,
After a hearing which lasted four days, the Waller bribery case was brought to a close at the Criminal Sessions before the Chief Justice, Sir Joseph Kempt, on November 24 when the fury, after a short retirement, returned a unani mons verdict of "Not Guilty."NI
The case aroused a great deal of public interest and the central figure was Acting Sub-Inspector Herbert Waller, ar- raigned of a charge of receiving from a man named Ho Hong-sang, the sum of $50 as a bribe at Talpo Market on October 2, with a view to omitting a prosecution in respect of an offence under the Oplum Ordinance.“
