It needs no saying that education should be pushed ahead among the Chinese and that care should be taken to exclude any Luleful influences that corrupt the young.

Incidentally, with the 13,442 scholars attending English schools added, this total shows the important part education, and consequently the Board, play in the Colony's life.
