Fr. Donnelly said the provision was an injustice to the pupils and counter to the general theory education and to the universal prac tice elsewhere. The sooner it was rectified or deleted, the better it would be for the pupils, he said.
As far as the College ras concern- ed, it had a most successful year, being second in the Colony in the School Leaving Certificate examiça-
flon.
The prizes were distributed by Mr. Li Sing-kul, who, in a brief speech, said that those who called them- selves students should fully realise that they owed their duty to society and to their country and that they should make it the first importance to discharge this duty.
A large gathering altended the function, including His Lordship H. Valtorta, Rev. Fr. G. T. Byrne, Rev. Bro. Stephen and Rev. Bro. Aimor. Prior to the distribution, a concert was given by the pupils, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the gathering.
