Abundant interest is still being displayed at Home in developments in China and in Hong Kong, such being reflected in questions in the House of Commons.

This week's news covers a wide range of variety. Much has occurred. From the point of view of the reading public in other parts of the world, perhaps, the most pleasing is the confirmed report of the capture of men suspected to have taken part in the piracy of the British s.s. "Anking,” in which two Britons and a Chinese lost their lives.

Staff Changes The discipline, on which so much depends and which is the first essential in a school, has been good both in and out of school. I have to thank my as sistants for much help in this rea- pect.

Standard Risen The standard in all subjects throughout the school has risen considerably in recent years (boys are younger and brighter than they used to be) and the curri culum has been widened and the syllabus stiffened up correspond- ingly, and I have little hesitation In saying that those in Class 4 are in a position to attempt a fair amount of Class 8 work.
