The Colony falls from an educational point of view into two natural divisions Urban and Rural The Urban Division is the densely populated city of Victoria, which extends for 5 miles along the South side of Hongkong Harbour, and the emal ler but similar populations of Yaumati and Hunghom on the Northern shore. With these may be grouped the "foreign," that is, English fringe of suburb, on the Poak or mountain aide above Victoria The Urban population is, broadly speaking, exotic, since not speak dif the English and other foreigners, the enormous majori- ty of the adult Chinese inhabitants regard themselves as being in tetaporary residence only, for the purposes of their business.

EDUCATIONAL HISTORY: FIRST PERIOD 1841-1859.
Nat from the first day of its cassion could Hongkong complain that its religious and educational wants were unheeded. Du ing the Governorship of Sir H. Pottinger (18-41-1844) the Church of England and the Roman Catholics and Nonconformists were already at work. The Morrison School was founded by the late Rov. Dr. J. Legge, subsequently famous throughout Chine for his edition of the Classics, and late pro fessor of Chinese at Oxford. The school was closed long ago, but its library sur vives as a free gilt to the City of Victoria. At about the same time the Colonial Chap. lain, the Rev. V. Stanton, founded St. Paul's College as a training College for native clergy. It still exists after various vicissitudes as a Secondary School for boys.
It is interesting to note how frankly in these early days the Government accepted the part of proselytiser. At about this time a small Grant of $5 a month was given to ton small schools, and a Com- mister of Education Essed to control it To the Bishop of Victoria, the Chairman wrote Sir John Davis the Governor, these schools were eventually placed in the hands of nativo Christian teachers bred
dispod persons at Home.
The year 1872 is of importance as being the first in which a Grant was offered to schools belonging to the Christian Mi sions. A code was drawn up, contain ing a condition to which great importane appears to have been attached at the time: no religiotis instruction was allow ed during four consecutive working hour, each day. Undur it the Protestant schools increased from four to cleven be tween 1872 and 1876. The Roman Catho lic Schools continued to flourish unaided till the year 1877. St. Joseph's College With 1877 the was founded in 1875. second period draws to a close.
Whilst in the first period the Govern- ment rivalled the missionaries in a race to Christianise the community by means of education, in the second, on the other hand, it confined itself to secular in- ruction, and, so far from supporting the missions, declined to associate with them, except on the clear understanding that money paid for education should not and could not be used for proselytis ing.
THIRD PERIOD. 1878-1900. An amended Grant Code was issued in 1878 which stipulated that Code sub ecte should be taught for four hours daily, but otherwise left it absolutely in the hands of the managers, how and when religious instruction should be given Thuiceforward Government and Protestant and Roman Catholic Schools have worked harmoniously side by side, with nothing worse than a very friendly rivalry between them.
Dr. Eitel was appointed Inspector of Schools in 1879. He held the popular. laissez-faire views of his day, and was opposed to State schools where avoidable, In the one year 1893 olevan Government Schools were closed on the ground that they had been rendered unnecessary by new Grant Schools.

FORTY-FIVE HOURS IN A BASKET.
ROMANTIC ESCAPE OF ITALIAN FUGITIVE.
Details of the escape of an Italian from an Austrian concentration camp by GOD- cealing himself in a then basket and undergoing a forty-five hours' railway journey, show how thrilling were the man's experiences.
Tho basket in which he made ha romantic exit is only 3ft, wide and 2ft, ja depth.
The Italian is a native of Trieste, who having deserted from the Austrian army.. finally gave himself up to avert the threatened imprisonment of his wife and daughter. At the beginning of Augant he was transferred from the Leibnitz csmg and interned at In, having first of all obtained permission to buy a linen-baskot wherein to shift his personal belongings from a worn-out sack.
PITCHED HEAD" FIRST. Our hero's friends, at an opportune
moment, locked him up in the basket with a bottle of water and a parcel of bread and cheese. They then draged the basket into the midst of a mountainous pile of luggage belonging to refugees awaiting another crain's departure.
When the porters finally flung the hans. per into the luggage-wagon, the ranaway was pitched on to his head, in which ter rible position he had to remain for twenty minutes before the baggage was arranged
in order.
Feeling himself becoming faint, during the journey through insufficient air, he bored openings with a penknife between the Laing and the interstices of the wicker work inserting therein breathing inbes rolled from paper which had served to wrap bis rations,
For many hours he underwent uncens ing agonies of cramp, but during the night, when the sentinels had broken their oternal chat to retire to rest in another part of the train, the fugitive was able to alleviate his martyrdom by cutting out a large square from the wicker so that he could stretch out one leg at a time.
***THE DISCOVERY.
On several occasions, while the train halted, gendarmes peered closely among the goods to make sure nobody was in hiding, but the contents of the packages were, fortunately, not re-re-examined.
Dr. Eitel did not, like Dr. Stewart, combine the duties of Inspector of Schools wad Headmaster Queen's College. Dr. Wright was appointed Headmaster. He and Dr. Eitel were unable to agree in their views, with the result that Queen's College was made independent of tho Inspector of Schools. Thus education in

Austrian officials who had accompanied the troin swore vociferously their amazement at the way they had been befooled, and demanded the restitution of the basket and its human contenta.
However, the Swiss authorities suggest- The fourth period may be considered ed a compromise, and, with the sweetest to date from 1001. In that year an Edu-sling simplicity, offered to restore to
