So says the Committee on Interpretation, in their report published last night, rafar- ring to the inducements. aud facilities which ought to be held out to civil ser- vants for the study of the Chinese lan: guage. We do not suppose that the Committee intended to put forward this tera sentence by way of a brief history of the administration of Hongkong, be- cause three of the five members of the Committee were officials.

There is throughout this document a terseness which is ad- mirable in the extreme. In the recom mendations made, ne waste of words is apparent. The story told, it is true, is not a new one.
