INFORMATION,
STANDARD EDUCATION IN THE COLONIES,
The Finance Committee of the Legislative Council met yesterday afternoon under the chairmanship of the Colonial Secretary (Hon. Mr. W. T. Southörn, C.M.G.) and approved supplementary expendi- ture amounting to $53,870. The Unofficial members were in on enquiring frame of mind and naked for further information on number of votes.
In regard to an item of $293 for equipment for King's College, the Hon. Mr. W.E.L. Shenton enquired whether this amount covered. in
surance.
:
The Chairman. I imagine not, because the Government does not insure. It is held to be cheaper in the long run for the Government to carry its own insurance.
Hon. Mr. W.E.L. Shenton.-I know that applice to fire risks.
The Chairman.-I think it ap- plies to everything.
Contractor's Dilatoriness. Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall- With reference to the vote for $750 for access and patrol path to Lo Wu. I notice that it is stated in the Message that little progress was made during 1929 owing to dilatoriness on the part of the con. tractor. I should like to know whether there is a penalty clause for delay and if there is, has it been enforced?

Education In the Colonles, A sum of $328 was asked for as a contribution to the cost of Ad- visory Committee of Education in the Colonies. Hon. Mr. R.H. Kotewall, wanted to know what were the functions of this Com mittee?'
an
The Chairman.--The Committed was established originally as Advisory Committee on Native British tropical Education in African dependencies and from that its work was extended to Cover Asiatic and other Colonial territories. It was reconstituted on January 1, 1923, as an Advisory Committee on Education in the Colonies. The cost is estimated at £4,000 per annum. £210 is the share payable by Hongkong, £625 by the Federated Malay States, £308 by Straits Settlements and others proportionately.
Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall-Have we ever had occasion to seek their advice on any subject in connexion with education in Hongkong?
The Chairman. I think only in connexion with the selection of teachers. I might say that the Committee is preparing the issue of a publication called the "Colonial Educational. Bulletin" which will keep all the diferent Colonies advised of what is going on in the educational world in other places.
Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall. I take it, Sir, they would be prepared to give us such advice as we need?
The Chairman. Undoubtedly. Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall.-This information I think is very in teresting and useful.
