LI SHING SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE.
PERTINENT COMPARISONS.
The closing exercises and prize distribution in connection with this collego took place at No. 66, Queen's Road, f'entral, on Saturday evening, when there was a large utlenilance of Chinese. The programme was long sad varied, including humorous recitations, addresses and debutes, which helped to pass away a pleasant evening.
At its namelesion Mr. W. N. Fos, M.A. President of the College, read the first annna. report, which stated
One of the reasons why China is so far behind Western ration in progress is because she still clings to the antiqusted methods of her fore fathers in all lines of industry. The founders of the Li Shing College realizes that the only way to raise China from her present low in dustrial condition is to ducste her seus in modern sciones und industry, training them to use their hands as well as their brain Our aim is to fit our students to be Capt-ins of Industry, to make them capable of directing manufacture, and through them to ruis and uplift the maSKEY, One of the most pitiful sights in the Orient in the vast expenditure of energy with so meagre a result. The Chinese have strength, endurance nud willingness to work. What they lack is method. That is what this College aims to supply. We are desirous that our graduates should not only be able to use foreign machinery mechanically, bat

Noxt year, our rules with regard to absences will be much more rigid. We shall have a physician examine those who claim to be ill, aud nono will be excused on that score without his cartil cate. Those who about themselves for triding canses will not be readmitted.
The discipline has been an easy matter, the deportout of the majority of the students has been splendid. Two has been expel'ed. one for dishonesty and one for the use of profano language; treo others were caught a king but were allowed to rewania upon promising that they would not repeat the offence.
The mark made in the fin! examinations were very satis factory, the average in the two upper d'usses being 87 per cen3 his was partly due, however, ta the fact that the lazy students stayed away and ouly the best remained to nudergo the ordeal.

The object of many of the schools in Hong- kong ems to be solely to fit Chinese for service as clerks and compradors. I recently read an article by one of the prominent educators of Hongkong in which he said that he believed that Chinese should be taught just enough| chemistry and physics to enable them to serve us translators and assistants for foreigners. This is not our object. We purpose to make these Chinese youths as capable of doing independent work as are the graduates of our grent American Universities, We shall teach|1.13, 1.49, 2.24 1/5. trigonometry, calculus, civil engineering and mechanical drawing as soon be students are prepared. Our Professor in this department is expected to arrive here from the United States in March. We aim to turn out masters and not tools. We realize that the nim is bold and that the path is long, being bestrewn with shards and thorns, but from the work acco plished in one short year, we feel confident of ultimate success. It is our purpose in the near future to establish shops for metal and wood. working, similar to those already established by the School of Arts and Trades in Manila,
Having thus stated our object at length, I will review the work of the past year but briefly. In common with most of the schools in the Colony, anr chief difficulty has been along the line of attendance. Over seventy students

corporation took the loan at a discount- return, but circumstances rendered the flotation less favourable than was looked for and he might give as an estimato about £26,000 as the gum that would be realized apou the amount of loan alrely placed. The corporation, which was entitled to reo-ive-certificates to represcat prospective profits, gave them up to the bond. holders:
indeed, it was considered necessary to de so to soare the successful frame of the loan. The scrip of the loan, which want to a discount on issne, had hardened since, and it would appear that confidence in Chinese securi- ties was disposed to increase, in which case they should find further issues less diffealt and more remunerativo. The service of the Northern Railway Loan, which they issued in 1509, had never failed, even during the Boxer rising aud he occupation of the railway by the Powers, and punctually each month the amoun! required was paid to the Hongkong and Shanghai Book. Judging from the improvement in the price. the merits of the bonds appeared to bo ap preciated, and he did not think the courageous investor at the panic price in 1900 of 72, whom he heartily congratulated, would ever get a like kwaa section of the milway, that was the portion chance again. The Fokin-ien-tsin-Shan-hai ENGLISH AND within the Wall, which was less than half the entire railway, had been able to bar the brunt of working the entire rai way and the servier of the loun, as owing to the Boter troubles and the blighting and paralyaing natara of the Russian occupation of the extra. mural portion of the line and of the country it was destined to serve, the extra-mural section had never had the amount of traffic
to it. For some time past, however, the earn- logs had, he understand, beer improving. Amortization of the loan began next year, when one-fortieth part of the bonds would be drawn annually for redemption. The corporation, on behalf of the railway and in the interests of the bondholdere, formulated a claim of upwards of £400 000 against the Chinese Government for the damage suffered by the railway during the Boxer rising, and it was right and due to the. British Foreign Office he should rate, that, recognizing that the olaing affected the bond bolders' soonrity, action was taken which resulted in the inclusion of the claim in that of the British Government on the Chinese Government. The corporation, through its agents, had also been cul lod upon to render extensive service in establish- ing and getting paid what ware known asthe pri- vate claims-namely, those of railway employés and many others. These clairis had now all been CASH paid, leaving only for settlement the railway claim. which would probably be liquidated by instalments being handed to the ribray administration as colleotod from the Chinese Government. The corporation had a valuable asset in the Nanpino coal concession, of which they were actual half-onnors on bedrock terms with the Imperial Railway Administration, The property had been reported upon ut dif ferent times by three first-class British e engineers in the most favourable terms, and prospecting indicated the existence of coal of excellent quality and in vast quantity. A colliery expert estimated, after an exhaustive investiga- tion, that for 1-ss than £200,000, of which their share would be one-half, a first-class colliery could be laid out to deliver coal at a "cost upon which a very handsome proft could be made. The development of this assot, which they proposed to effect by a separats company, was their immediate business in the north of China. Sir Auckland Colvin secondad the motion. Mr. A. G.
