Sir WiNism went on to express a doubt. ns to whether he ought to be with them that night. He had read the remarks of the herdinaater of the Diocesan School in the course of which he condemned. alike the giving of prizes and the taking of exterisi examinations Well be (Sir William), was with them that day to The Vice Chancellar of the Hongkong distribute prizes, and, furthermore, be
examinations. But while he had a very great regard for the opinion of the bead- master of the Diocesan School, and he recognised that that gentleman was a very sleevssful headunnater, he took the liberty of entirely disagreeing with m. It was thirty years since he had received any school prizes himself, but he still thought" with pleasure of some of the book, which reposed on his bookshelves and which he had won in his youth. Ho believed it to be a proper encouragement to boys to reocive prizes, and he took the opportunity of congratulating all the winners that night. And if there were some boys who thought that life consisted of winning prizes, they would soon be disillusioned." Is to the externaJ examinations they were open to criticism, he admitted, and they were always glad to receive it. He would not, take the advantage there of refuting the Rev. Mr. Featherstons's remarks, as he would prefer to do so where he would be answered:
The Headmaster's report told a story of a hard fight against a good many. difficulties.

The GovERNOR addressing the reference to the late Mr. Arnold Hughes, gathering, observed that this was the the former Headmaster of the School, fourth occasion upon which he had brewho died whilst travelling England sented the prizes at St. Stephen's. "I feel on leave, saying that Mr. Hughes' loss to sure," he said "that if I had anything to the cause of education generally, and the say I must have said it on one of the Ying Wa College in particular, was an three previous ocasions.

The Headmaster then presented the annual report which was as follows:-
The school work during Autumn was greatly hampered by an inadequate staff. "Consequently the Headmaster him- self had had to take up more teaching than his predecesser, with the result that the administrative side had had to be
eglected to a certain extent,
In November, Mr. Phillips continued, a committee comprising five members of the Board of Education paid a surprise visit

report on the visit there was much they had to criticise.concerning premises and staff. He realised that that criticism was a necessary thing and in the interests" of the school. But it was made clear in the committee's report that unless new, class rooms could be provided, the whole of the premisce renovated; and the staff in-

Fortunately, too, just at this time Mr. and Mrs. Lewis were on their way out from England, and, realising the stress the school were in, had very generously foregone their right, for the time at least, to study in the language school in Canton, and had taken up teaching duties in connection with the Ying Wa College.

Our market has been quiet during the last fortnight. A few thousand tons have been sold to Shanghai for February March shipment, but the volume of busi
sy dane with France has decreased con- siderably owing to the rise of the rate of the local currency. The price of paddy remains very firm, the supplica coming daily to hand being rather poor on account of great part of the crop being still drying in the fields.
The total amount of rice exported from January 1st to January 15th is 36.475 tans against 10.337 in 1922.
