I have the honour to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of Mr. Chamberlain's Despatch No. 332 of the 3rd. Sep-
tember, and to inform you that I thoroughly approve of the
proposal therein contained, and believe that the lantern and
lecture system of imparting knowledge will form a most benefici-
al addition to the ordinary methods of juvenile education. I
an of opinion, however, that the journey supposed to be covered
by the lectures and slides should begin at a more easterly
point than Ceylon. I see no reason why Hongkong and Singapore,
with their immense shipping, should not be included, and I
would suggest that the supposed journey should start from
Hongkong, which with 23,000,000 tons of shipping is now. I
think, the largest Shipping Port in the Empire. This, however,
is a detall which can be arranged at a later date. But in case
the suggestion may meet with approval I am having prepared
some photographs of this Colony which will be sent to you in
due course. When the scheme has been definitely established
and the lectures prepared, I propose to ask the Legislative
Council to vote the sim necessary for the purchase of the
lantern and accessories, with the lectures, and have little
doubt THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
ALFRED LYTTELTON, M.F.,
