fields in Hong Kong and Kowloon was a prossing need for Schools and other institutions in the Colony.
Dr. Tro said that the lack of playing fields was a general com- plaint from all schools situated in the City of Victoria. However, they had the satisfaction of know- ing that the Government was. tak. ing the matter up by the appoint- ment of the Committee which he had referred to, and he hoped that the Committee would be able to find means of ameliorating present con- 49ditions.

The College had made drill and gymnastics compulsory and that was all to the good. He wondered why more schools did not take an interest in gymnastics. Dr. Ts'o also urged the boys of Wah Yan College to go in for open-field games. It was an important part of their education as it taught them un- selfishness, to take victory and de- feat alike in an open-minded mood and a gentlemanly manner. There- fore, every game played was a les- son on character-forming.
