TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY PRESS.
SIB. It is right that the public, and especi- ally those who, during las year, responded to the appeal made to them in aid of e tablishing a Docesan Girl's School, should be informed of the progress made in that matter by the Committee, and of their prop sals for the immedi te opening of the school. I know of no better means of conveying this information to the large number of subscribers and others who may be interested in the education of girls in the Colony thau through the public Prers. I shall therefor be very much obliged to you if you wul give the following facts such a place in your paper as you think they deserve.

been very great; but it is hoped that a lady will be appointed in England during the next few days. As soon as this is done, an assistant --a qualified teacher-will also be appointed
In the meantime Miss Johnstone has kindly promised to superinten the purchase of suffi- cient furniture for the school, and to go into residence on Febuary 1st with those girls who are to be transferred from Fairlea and who, during the holidays now passing. have no home to go to. Thus all will be in readiness for the formal opening of the school and the commence. ment of the work on February 15th.
The School is managed by n committee of ladies, originally appointed, with power to add to their number, at the public meeting which inaugurated the scheme, and is under the pat- rouage of Lady Blake, who takes a great in- trest in it.
As there was possibly some misunder- standing in the first instance 89 to the kind of education to be given owing to the use of the words "a liberal education" in the original resolution. it would be clearly understood that there is no intention of aiming at what is sometimes oiled a Higher Educa tion," but that the ordinary English subjects will be taught, and such things as will be most useful to the girls in the positious in life that they are likely to occupy. If a "liberal educa- tion" in any techincal seuse is desired they will certainly have to go elsewhere for it. The object of the school is to provide a home for bomeless ones and to give a Christiau education to European and Eurasian girls in the colony of Hongkong. The school will endeavour to earn a grant-in-aid from the Government after annual examination by the Inspector of Schools, and thus the scheme of work will be in some measure determined by the Eincation Code.
Will you kindly add that I shall bọ very glad to give any further information to any one who will apply to me for it, it regard to terms of admission, course of studies, hours of work, fees, &o., and also to receive any suggestions from those who are interested in the work?
May I take this opportunity of expressing the sincere thanks of the Committee to all who have helped us to start the school.”
I am. Sir.

There was reason to believe that once started such a school as was proposed would ultimately be self supporting. It was necessary, however, to ask for help for starting the work and it will probably be necessary to ask for some further help during the first year or two. The public responded by giving us over $2,200 and this dum was supplemented by about $160 collect IV. C-1st, Chan Pai-u, Watch, given by ed in England, and a small legacy of $600.

All the hills surrounding Fooʊhow, says the Echo, were capped with snow from the 8th to the 1th inst, inclusive. At Doong Liang it is reported to have been feet 6 inches deep, but this was probably in a drift: the thermometer there was 4 degrees below freezing point. There has not been so much snow there since 1893.
