Mr. C.W.M. Cox.

You will wish to see this most interesting account of the educational activities carried on in the Hong Kong civilian internment camp at Stanley. It is difficult to minimise the importance of this work and the very considerable factor that it must have been in maintaining balance and sanity amongst the internees. It is noteworthy that, in addition to an average total of 180 children who attended the schools, more than half the total population of the camp were enrolled in the Committee's Adult Education Scheme. The internees have reason, I think, to be grateful to the members of the Committee who organised this important work.

I am sending the file to you in red in view of the fact that I think you have asked Mr. Sloss to give some account of educational work in Hong Kong during the period of Japanese occupation to the members of the Educational Advisory Committee who are meeting on Thursday.

I have had a copy of Professor Forster's letter made and have sent it to Mr. Seel on account of the reference to the work of Miss Gibbins and in Connection with consideration which is at present being given to honours for repatriates from the Far East.

Finally, I have sent a draft letter of acknowledgment to Professor Forster's letter separately to Mr. Paskin in order not to delay the circulation of this file.
