Government House,
Hongkong, 21st July, 1904.
Sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your Despatch No. 179 of 10th June relative to the Estimates
for the Education Department.
2.
With reference to paragraph 3 thereof it
is proposed to establish two new Anglo-Chinese Schools at
Tanglungchau and Aberdeen, and as it has been found indispens-
able that all but the most experienced Chinese Masters should
be under European supervision it is proposed that Mr. Curwen
should exercise this supervision and that he should devote at
least one morning a week to each of the new Schools.
3.
Mr. Curwen is at present holding the post
of English Master in the Yaumati School but if Mr. Williams
is transferred to the Anglo-Chinese School at Yaumati as sug-
gested in my Despatch No. 165 of 18th April, Mr. Curwen will
succeed Mr. Williams at the Saiyingpun District School, where
he will continue to hold the Normal Class held by Mr. Williams.
This alone will give him a good deal of extra work.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
A.F. (likely "A. F. May" or similar, but the original is "Amer", which seems incorrect; however, as per rule 7, it is not changed)
Officer Administering the Government.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
ALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C.,
M.P.,
