The excellent state of the school, as it now is, is largely due to the devoted efforts of your Warden, the Rev. E. W. L. Martin, and the staff who nerve with him, and also to Mra. Martin's invalu- able help. This school has had on honourable past, and I believe it has before it a great future.
It is with the greatest pleasure that I ask an old boy of this school, Dr. Yue Man-kwong to give away the certificates and prizes, after the Warden has given his report. The Warden. Rev. Mr. Martin, then read the school report for the. past year.
Dr. Yue Man-kwong referred to the College's new home at Stan- ley as compared with previous locations, and extended heartiest congratulations for the, excellent scholastic attainment of the schol-

Tree-Planting Ceremony.
In inaugurating the tree-plant- ing ceremony, Mrs. W. T. Sou- thorn said:
When Mr. Martin asked me to nay a few words on trees, he was taking grave risks. For so great is my love of trees that I might easily become loquacious on the subject, and not only try your pationce but delay the work we have on hand. Browning says:
"Your ghost shall walk, you lover of trees,
(If loves remain)
In an English lane-"
but the lover of trees is not limit- ed to English lanen, however benu- tiful. Certainly the leafy lanes of England have no rival
