THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, MARCH 10TB, 1914
HONGKONG, 9th March, 1914. DEAR SIR, I very much appreciate the letter written by Mr Tse Tsan Tar and the realities contained therein which appeared in one of your valuable columns of yesterday's issue
I am also aware and am one of the Victimon
of the depreciation of the silver coide running
at present in this Colony, which coins are only formally called ten cents coins" but they are really nine cents coins" for I always get nine cents in exchange of ten centa coins from the local money-changers and other retail dealers.
Will the Government take the trouble to remedy this mischief? It is obvious that if steps are not taken to hinder same, the public, especially the poor classes, will have to meet with a series of inconveni- ences that will compel them at the oud either to contract debts or to increase the number of pickpockets of whom we bare enough to infest this

SIK, I shall be gind if you will find me space in your columns to draw attention to towards the organisation of the teaching a great step forward in the movement profession. Considerations of space prevent one giving eren a brief epitome of the movement, which, decade after decade, his slowly, but none the less surely, lod to tho realisation of the oft-doferred hope of the educationist in England the organisation of our profession and the improvement in the pay and status of the teacher; but it may bo stated that it was in 1869-14 years after the foundation by royal charter of the College of Preceptors, which had for its oxpress object the raising of the character
of
the teaching profession that Mr. Forster brought forward in the House of Commons his Bill to instituta a register of teachers engaged in secondary education. In all there have been eleven Bills introduced, since that date, in Parliament dealing with this matter, but none were sufficiently come prehensive to satisfy the mass of teachers, Patlinmontary paper, the report by Sir Finally there appeared in 1911, as Robert Morant, entitled, "Further papers relating to the registration of teachers and the proposed Registration Council. In his Yeport Sir Robert recognised the larger and more general enception of the unifica tion of the teaching profession, and added, "the fact is that the real desires of! those members or sections of the teaching profession who have been pressing these matters on the attention of Government have now ceased to centre
upon the produc tion of a toachers' register, and have taken instead the shape of a definite call for the establishment of a teachers registration counoil representative of the whole teaching profesion?”
On February 29th, 1912, appeared the Order-in-Council eroating the Tonchers' Registration Council of forty-four members, who all were to he teachers or persons recently engaged in teaching" Each of the eloven universities of England and Wales nominated a member and there were eleven representatives elected by anch of the remaining three groups of teachers, viz, the secondary school teachers, elementary school teachers, and technological and Exat, specialist touchers,
