GIRLS' COLLEGE.
YEUNG CHUNG PUPILS CONGRATULATED.
The Ko Shing Theatre was filled yesterday afternoon when the gra- duation exercises of the Middle and Higher Schools of the Yeung Chung Girls Collcgo were held, Lady Clementi distributing the certificates and prizes won by pupils during the past year.
The Yeung Chung College was opened in Hongkong about six years ago by Miss Cheung Yuk mul, the present headmistress, and other Chinese ladies. It has now' grown into a very big school with an average daily attendance of over 600. This state of affairs is greatly due to the untiring work of Miss Cheung and her staff of teachers who are to be congra- Lulated on their achievement in such a short period.
