DIOCESAN BOYS PRIZE DAY
Internally the most important thing of note is the revision in the lower scale of fees among the classes. Recognising that 迈 time or unversal depression there must be a mutual, give and take. the school committee, feeling, that there are many families in the com- munity who wish their boys to have the advantage of a good education but who and themselves increasingly unable to pay pre- depression rates. decided AUD- atantially to reduce the fees in classes 5, 6, 7 and 8. It is our de- sire to get students for the whole B years course, and not only for a part of it. To be constantly changing one's school, like so many students in this colony, is not a mark of Independence but of in- stability, which gets nowhere. The result has abundantly justified the experiment. and we feel that our trust in the public bas stimulated their interest,

Brawn of the Education Depart- 'ment made the last of his inspec- tions of the school before retire- merc In recommending the full grant to be made, he remarked, "It is interesting to note that in- cluded in the roll there are boys from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Jamaica, Canada, U.S.A., Honolulu, Borneo, Java, Phillipines. Formosa, Japan, China, Indo-China, Malays, Burma, India, France, Germany, Speln, Portugal, Russia, Esthonlá, Holland, Li- thuania and Falestine." He fur-

the year only, notice is taken of all ¡ desire to continue this work at its the term and "examination marks given throughout the whole year. This means that steady constant work throughout the year receives its reward more than a special burst at a final examination.
For this year's School Leaving and Matriculation Examination the University tried the experiment of having a local centre for the Kow- loon schools. It was a pleasure to lend this great hall for that pur- pose and we hope that each can- didate was as happy as clrcum- stances would permit.

CONSTANT STAFF
The staff during the year has remained satisfactorily constant.
So much for the minority. Our wider aim which embraces all who came within the shadow of these walls is to get young people to look up and laugh and Hft; to consider the immaterial and unchanging values which regulate the ideals of all true human existence. We be- lieve we do have an influence for good upon
the community of nations as represented by this cos- mopolitan city of Hong Kong.
