TRAMWAY MISHAP IN QUEEN'S ROAD.
An unusual accident occursed at 10.15 a.m. yesterday which dis- organised the tramway service for about half an hour. Car No. 40 was Proceeding eastward at the time when the trolley left the overhead wire and the vevhicle came to a hals near the Naval Yard gate. The trolley dismantled the electric light wires which are fixed higher Op the standard. Another car which followed a few minutes later had a similar experience after passing Murray Barracks and the trolley became entangled with the lighs wires."
Mr. Glendinning, of the TramwAY" Company, was observed on the scene soon after the occurrence, and get about the task of getting out of the way by means of a bamboo pole one of the broken
There is an increasing tendency on the part of students who came over, to do so without any adequato prior knowledge of English. This
Outlining the case, Mr. Lo said is particularly the case with respect to Government students. As a re- that in view of the defendant's

If these students cannot acquire a really good knowledge of Eng lish in China they must be prepared to devote themselves, exclusivoly, on their arrival for three to four months to perfecting their know- ledge of the language. Otherwise they will merely waste their time and incur a good deal of dis-apparently came to the conclusion. appointment at their lack of that the explanation given by the defendant as to how he applied that sum was satisfactory, and that no fraudulent intent to misapply or misappropriate it had been proved, and he dismissed all the charges in that case.
progress.
The Cost of Living. In the next place parents who send them over must remember that this country is on a gold basis, that the cost of living is high and that the price of silver is very low. They must, therefore, estimate ac cording to English values a sum which will be necessary to keep and cducate their sons in this country.
If they intend to send them to Oxford or Cambridge, they will need from £400 to £500 a year; if they intend to send them to the „provincial Universities the cost will not be much more than £250.
Of course some students come over with a great deal of money, perhaps too mucht. In one case I have heard of three boys spending from £5,000 to £7,000 a year. Others have barc- ly enough to live on.
In the case of an ordinary Eng lishwa, it is quite possible to go to Oxford or Cambridge for £250 to £300, though, even then, care has
Mr. Lo submitted that the de- fendant could not and was not im- perilled in the earlier case of being convicted for uttering a forged coucher, Mr. Lo said he would argue that unless the defendant could have been so convicted there was no question of quire fois aquit.
Who Signed the Voucher? Mr. Lo then went over the cir- cumstances which led to the appear ance of the voucher in question which is alleged to be signed by M. T. K. Leung, a canvasser, Mr. Lo said that he had now evidence to show who affixed the signature on the voucher and the circum-. stances under which the signature was affixed.
Chang Man Tak, an employee of the Canadian National Railways, stated that he signed the name of to be exercised, but it should be K Leung, at the bottom of remembered that English under- the voucher.

receipt. Fearing the displeasure of his employer he had got Chang to sign the name T. K. Leung on a blank. form so that the receipt can be replaced. Chang had offered to fill in the form but defendant is alleged to have pointed out that the typewriting would be different.
In the third place rauch greater care ought to be taken in China in selecting a career for the boys sent over. I know there is one organisa- tion which gives a certain amount of general guidance, but there really ought to be some sort of Advisory Committee which would go into the case of each potential student, see what he is fitted for, and give him

The Choice of Universities.
There is also far too great a tendency to send boys to Oxford or, Cambridge. Many of the provin cial Universities are far better for specialised education and also far cheaper.
