"Shortly before the Chinese New Year holidays an interesting article appeared in the Portuguese paper published in Macao quggesting that Macno, as a very old friend both of Canton and Hongkong, might be able to act as an arbitrator in this unfortunate dispute, or at any rate night be able to do something as a mediator towards bringing both sides together on common ground.

In my reports of the past few years I emphasised the steady increase in the juvenile European population of Kowloon and Hongkong, and the urgent necessity of providing additional school buildings. in 1919 our members were 60-senior, junior and kindergarten classes.

In December, 1995, there were 131 at C.B.S. and 100 at the junior school, that is. 210 children were attend ing the Government British Schools in Kowloon To-day there are 159 in the senior school and 103 in the junior school,
