[To the Editor of the China Mol]

Sir-With reference to the leader Our Schools Again" in the China Mail ol, the 19th inst., may I state that some of the "facts," mentioned therein are absolutely incorrect.

Your paper states, that the present acting head of the Peak School "has no qualification for ordinary school work apart from her calisthenieš. "

If this information had been veri- Red, it would have been found that this lady also fully qualified to teach other school subjects.

In view of the present shortage of qualified teachers in the British schools, surely the public criticism of individuak, who are doing their best to help, out in a difficult situa tion," is wholly unjustified.-Yours etc..

sand thanks and thanks again. I am one of those who went in 1914 and rook up arms in defence of my birth- right. Since I returned I see my mistake. I should have remained and then got the kudos and procto- tion others got that remained behind. In the eyes of those that never went or were forced to go and see the finish in 1918, why, it's a crime to say you went to the Old Country to do your bit.

Those that I have spoken to who never left the big fat timirs or white bread in Hongkong reckon that those! i who did go went on a "joy ride.

Let another was happen and Boi- shevist pressure wouldn't get me to it. A full account of this same has been sent home to England for pub- lication and there will be some per tinent questions asked why those that went and did their bit were forgot- zen here.-Yours truly,

DINCE MONEY.

(To the Editor of the China Mail] |

Sir-Perhaps the following incident, which happened at the Repulse Bay Hotel on Saturday last, may not bej without interest to your readers.

At about six o'clock on the after noon in question I entered the Hotel in the company of four friends, one) of whom was a lady. Cold drinks were ordered, and whilst they were being fetched, the lady and one gentleman of the party got up and danced for about two or three minutes. When the bill was brought immediately afterwards there was an item, over and above charge for the drinks, of $200, described as "Dance money for 2 persons.”

I signed the chit at the time, but wrote a letter of protest to the Manager on the 18th instant. Iį l-pointed out that no one of the party

had ever heard of such a charge.

In his reply of the same date, the Manager informs me of his inability to waive the charge which, he affirms, is quite in order.
