ST, STEPHEN'S GIRLS' COLLEGE. LADY CLEMENTI PRESENTS CUPS AND CERTIFICATES.
INTERESTING REPORT BY THE
PRINCIPAL “
On the occasion of her first visit to St Stephan's Girls' College, yesterday after noon, Lady Clementi, who is a member of the College Council, presented the scholarship cups and certificates to the successful students at the annual prize distribution.
The Kwok Siu Lau Hall of the College, in which the function was held, was packed with pupils, parents and friends. and a keen interest was taken in the pro- ceedings throughout.
The Bishop of Victoria (the Right Rev. C. R. Duppy) presided, and there were also
Clementi Lady present Lady Stewart Taylor, Miss E. Middleton Smith (Principal of the College), Sir Robert to Tung. Dr. S. W. Tao, Mr. W. W Hornell (Vice Chanceller. Hongkong Cniversity). Professor, L. Forster, Mr. E Ralpha (uspector of English Schools). Professor Middleton Smith, the Rev. H. Copley Moyle, Dr. R. Ponsonby Fane. and Mr. Ho Wing.
At the conclusion of a delightful enter. tainment given by the pupils, the Bishop thanked all who had contributed to the splendid programme and also these who had trained the different contributors.
In asking Miss Middleton Smith to present her report for the past college Lyear, the Bishop said it was very satis factory to note that the school held its ground, despite adverse conditions and many dificulties, and had, in fact, made progress. This was due to the leadership of Miss Middleton Smith and the co-opera tion of all concerned (Applause.)
A SATISFACTORY REPORT. Miss Middleton Smith then presented- her report from which the following ex tracts are made:-
The school year has been a very pro- sperous and encouraging one. ".

devotion of the entire staff to the in- terest of both schools and their excellent teaching work. The work has been cur tailed for lack of room and the need of the extension wing is very great indeed. We regret that our Secretary, Mr. David- son, will be leaving this year. We shall greatly miss his valuable holp. Miss Braga has given careful teaching to pupils learning the violin mandolin and the piano we hope shortly that Mr. Blason it school and Miss Hraga will form orchestra.
GIFT FOR CHARITY. This year the girls have made a special effort to help the pressing claims of those in need. Over $3,000 has been given to different charities during the year, and we have felt it a privilege to help poor schools and hospitals in different parts of China as well as a contribution of $1,000 to the M.C.L funds this year. The mis sionary spirit has been fostered and has grown in the school. Sunday by Sunday our girls teach the unfortunate women in prison. Other girls from this school mag be found in the hospital each Sunday going from bed to bed, carrying words of cheer and comfort as they tell of God's love and care for the sick and suffering,
