The students of the Colony have been afforded the greatest opportu nity to study, and they have an excellent Governor who takes a great interest in the education of the Chinese; and who has been so pleased to appoint Mr Wood to be the Director of Education. Mr. Wood, as we all know, is à man versed in the English and Chinese Languages, and also in the Chinese classics. He is of the stuff of which educationalists are made.
Before I conclude, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to thank the headmaster for the honour given mo in asking me to distribute the prizes; and also to express my best wishes for the welfare and success of the school.
