THE LATE SIR ELLIS KADOORIE.
55. Education in the Colony suffered a heavy blow in the death of Sir Ellis Kadoorie, one of its most enthusiastic supporters. The Ellis Kadoorie School for Chinese was in a great measure endowed by him; and the Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians was a gift from him to the Colony. His memory is enshrined in them.
THE STRIKE.
56. The general strike at the beginning of March did not greatly affect the Department. A number of Subordinate Officers—messengers and coolies—absented themselves from duty for a few days, appropriate disciplinary action being subsequently taken. Attendance at the Schools was somewhat impeded for a few days. The Cookery Class of the Belilios School came to the front, and cooked for the Nursing Staff and patients at the Victoria Hospital.
57. I was appointed Cable Censor and was assisted by Mr. A. R. Cavalier and Mr. Y. P. Law, Inspectors of Vernacular Schools. Mr. E. Ralphs was put in charge of the Ambulance Service.
EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE.
58. In February, by the courtesy of the Government of the Philippines I was invited to attend an Educational Conference at Manila. I took the occasion to inspect the system of Manual and Agricultural Training.
