In the absence of any definite effort on the part

of Great Britain in this direction this Chamber would welcome

an expansion of British education by the establishment of a

Government aided Secondary English School or Schools, in Canton

and if possible in adjoining districts.

To finance this scheme they suggest that a portion of the "Boxer Indemnity" received from China might be directed

to further these ende as has been done by the U. S. A. with such

marked influence on official ciroles throughout China.

If possible the scheme might be furthered from

similar scurces by the establishment of Scholarships at the

Hongkong University which would counteract and afford similar

if not better advantages to those offered by American Universities!

Such a school sufficient to accommodate 300 studente

could be founded by a Grant of say £85,000, which together with an income derived from fees of say $100 each student per annum, my Committee are informed would be self-supporting, especially

if the Chinese Government could be induced to give the site

and playing grounds as a free gift.

Low fees, as compared with those which might be

earned by such a school in England, are obligatory, ae otherwise

it could not compete with similar education provided by the

American Lubsidised Canton Christian College.

Sir Charles says the Chinese Government is sympathetic

to the Hongkong University, as on the firet Degree Dey the

President sent a letter of congratulation; also five provinces

send Government scholars. The difficulty seems to be in drawing

& sufficient number of students from the Canton district and

the reason for the too few numbers is because of the non-existende

of a suitable preparatory school there outside of the American

Canton Christian College.

I am to express the thanke of my Committee to His

Excellency the Governor for the opportunity he has given them

of expressing their views on the subject which they regard as

an important one.
