Happy Atmosphere. Following the distribution of prizes, Father Brown, who was referred to by Mr. Ralphs, as "very valuable member of the Board of Education, made a short speech in which he emphasised Mrs Southern's kindness in ind ing time to come to give away the He commented upon the prizes happy natural atmosphere of the school which he felt to be the best possible training for life.
The cause of women's high educa tion is one which has always receiv ed the strongest support from the community of Hong Kong. In 1908 St. Stephen's Girls' College was founded with the idea of offering to girla in education equal in all respects to that received by the sons of gentlemen. The work de veloped, and after an appeal made by St. Stephen's Girls' College in 1929, the University; opened. its doors to women, granting them the full privilege of working for their degree. The need for a hostel for these women students almost im- mediately arose and was tempor. arily met by the Church Missionary Society who have for the time being tented a small house accommodating 14 students,
Owing to the uncertain tenure of the lease the present arrangement is precarious; the premises, more- over, are too small and the students possibility of accommodating more, are cramped for room. There is no
with the result that the increasing number of women students make the provision of a larger permanent hotel an urgent necessity.
There is increasing demand on the part of women students, to take which demand should be encouraged part in all University activities—
to the full, so that the power to work with others, the capacity for team work, may be well developed while they are still at the Univer- sity, seeing that later the opportu- nity may not so easily recur for them to learn to be public spirited. With this in view it is now pro- posed to erect a permanent hostel for women undergraduates to which all will be welcomed.
A meeting was called at Govern- ment House on the 29th October, through the generosity of Mrs. Southern, when the position was laid before the public for the first time, and an Organising Committee formed.
appeal the Committee have thought Before launching their it advisable to enquire into the ac- Commodation needed by such a hotel, and to estimate the cost of such a building. Preliminary plans been made to enable an approxim for a hostel for 30 students have
ato figure of cost to be arrived at. It is proposed to give each student a bedroom-study, and provide a common room, library, dining room and warden's quarters. The Com mittee consider that the sum of $120,000 is sufficient to meet all re- quirements.
It is hoped that this opportunity will be taken by many to show their interest in the higher education of
women.

OLD CRIME COMES TO "LIGHT.
PILLAGE OF A MING. TOMB.
PEPINO, Dec. 14th. While a score of Chinese army 5fficers await trial here on a charge of robbing the Manchu Imperial Tombs, the report comes from Nan king that robbery of a Ming E- peror's tomb centuries ago bas just been discovered
The tomb, it was learned, was entered through a long and intri- cate tumsel. The robbers, of long ago bored into this tunnel througa the hill-side, and thus entered the tomb, which was stripped of all its treasures... The tunnel was dis covered while building the new road to the tomb of Dr. Sun Yat For centuries the robbery was not even discovered, and the amount of. lost which they obtained cannot be surmised.--United Pres
