Honorary rank conveys an im- pression on my mind of a specious display of shirtfront coupled with a profound disinclination for work. For years I have tried without suc- cess to get honorary rank. 1 have had my nose to the grindstone so long that I feel that if only I could round off my life, with a little sleep, as an Honorary On locker at some Institution or other, I should be perfectly happy.
Dr. Te'o is not like that. He has an entirely different conception of Honorary rank. We find evidence of his wise and kindly guidance in every sphere of activity in the Chinese Company. NO recruit joins without his approval, no step Is decided upon before he is con- sulted. He is ag intimately con- cerned with the Company's affairs as its most enthusiastic member.
So, on his departure for England to represent this Colony at the King's Coronation accompanied by Mr. Ts'c Tsun-on, we feel that he is also representing us and we wish the Hon. Commissioner and Off- cer Commanding the Chinese Company, bon voyage; a pleasant time in England and a safe and happy return to Hong Kong.
