Gentlemen,
CHINESE LANGUAGE SCHOOL.
Hongkong, 25th October, 1916.
With reference to the Circular dated 13th October, 1916, there appears to be some difficulty in arranging a time to suit the convenience of the firms nominating pupils.
The time chosen was one dictated by the belief that the lesson should be taken during office hours and with the knowledge that, at least as regards the present and immediate future, the majority of students would have certain military duties to perform after five o'clock.
After making enquiries, it has been arranged to hold duplicate classes so as to enable those who cannot attend the group meeting during the day to do so in the evening. The day classes will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1.30 to 2.30 p.m. and the evening classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 6 to 7 p.m. Students may attend either of these classes, or both, so long as space permits.
The School room is available, by arrangement, for a limited number of students at any other time than that set aside for the group meetings for the purpose of meeting their native teachers if students so desire rather than receive tuition at home.
Members are kindly requested to send in immediately the names of intending pupils, and to submit names of teachers, if already chosen, for the approval of the
Director. When not chosen the native teacher will be nominated by the Director.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your faithfully,
To the Members
of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce.
Secretary.
