"TOO MANY COLLEGES!

IN COLONY"

DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION EXPRESSES OPINION

The

WAH YAN PRIZE DAY

Wah Yan College (Kowloon Branch) held its Arst independent Prize Day yesterday afternoon in the presence of Mr. G. P. de Martin, Assistant Director of Education, and a large number of friends, and parents of the students. Mrs. de Martin gave nway the prizes to the successful con- didates at the yearly examination.

After the report had been read by Mr. Chow Cheng-law, headmaster, Mr. de Martia said that he thought the name "Wak Yan College, Kowlcon Branch," was rather a clumsy name for a school. There was, in his opinion,` a very great reluctance in Hong Kong to cull a school a school, and he would suggest to the headmaster to call it the "Wah Yan School,” There were as many Colleges in Hong Kong as there were in Oxford, and some of them were very bad.
