I think you all agree that you owe a great debt to the Press and to Mr. Rammy, who are busy men and have Little lolsurs, for the assistance they have given you in this subject.

I refer to the large increase of the averago attendance. Since I have been in this Colony the average attend. anco at St. Joseph's has increased from 299 to 400; as we just heard from the Directory an increase of 50 per cent. This enormous expan nion of all the schools in the Colony is most striking and most encouraging, but the Director of Education in his report calls attention to the fact that there are an undue number of Chinese boys in the lower standards who help to swoll the grant in aid, but it is not creditable to a school that there should be a congestion in the lower standards. Numbers are important but numbers are not everything. Quality is even more important. I am not unaware that there are many difficulties in connection with this subject. I know it is very difficult and sometimes very disheartening to the staf that your boys leave you just at the time when you are beginning to feel they are goiting on and doing something. It is a matter which is ful

ABMY CRIMINALS, From statistics just published by the Ministry of War it appears that the number of condemned criminals in the French Army is sufficient to form a whole army corps. There are at the present moment 13,671 soldiers in the ranks who before entering barracks had been in prison. The majority of the sentences were for theft. The matter is shortly to come bafore the Chamber, and General Brun, the Minister of War, states that in all probability he will bo compelled to ask Parliament to make an altera- tion in the recruiting regulations which will rander it impossible for thieves, souteneurs and other bad characters to be incorporated in the home army.
