which ban come over the spirit of Mr Hennessy in regard to things educational and must be accounted for by publish ed and unpublished despatches received from home. It is clear enough that the Home Government has taken Dr Stew. art as its guide, and it is not perhaps so very surprising that Mr Hennessy should endeavour to explain away this fact. Thin consideration serves in a certain measure to clear up the desperate effort made by the Governor to turn a disastrous defeat into an apparent victory, It will be noticed by the careful observer, however, that Mr. Hennessy has not repeated the grave blunder he recently made at the Public School meeting in St. Paul's College. This time he correctly puts the infinitesimal nature of the change, in the following words "The schools must be open to Government inspection. Govern- ment examiners must examine the chil- dren, and report upon the results of education in the specified subjects of the standards; and upon those reports the Government will give its aid." That is to say, the scheme by which payment for results in teaching other than re- PASSENGERS arriving la Hongkong, or any ligious subjects to children is prac other persons who may desire to contically the same as it has been for sult the files of local, China, Japan, years past, the wording only being caso the consciences of American, English, Indian or Austraaltered, to lian newspapers, are invited to call at certain clerical gentlemen.
