In- stead of boys being refused admission, they actually required to be enticed to undertake the study of English, and for many years quite mature boys, in some instances men over 40, were the pupils. The dificulties with which Dr. Stewart had to contend in the early days of the Central School were sufficiently grase, bak in addition to these, he had to supervise the education of the whole colony, and pay periodi- cal visits to schools in outlying districts.
In 1877, great excitement was caused by the appearance of a pamphlet (popularly believed to have been penned by the late Mr. J. J. Francis, Q.C.), entitled Does the Central School fulfil its raison d'etre , and for five years a brisk and rather bitter warfare ensued in the local press. In his Annual Report about this time, Dr. Stewart begged to be relieved of the ras. ponsibility of the Inspectorate of Schools. Eitol, of the London Mission (formerly of the Basal Hakka Mission, Sinologue and Chinese Lexicographer, was appointed Inspector of Schools, March, 1978, but the Central School remained a sparets Department.
