THE CHINA MAIL.
He noted that the study of Urdu bad made great strides in that school during the past year, but he wondered if parents were not from sentiment attaching tout much Importance to its study. Whon that school was started they made the study of Urdu compulsory and it had remained 80.
He would like to point out that There were two classes of boys at that school, and these classes might be termed boys of Indian domicile, and boys of local domicile. The former would return to India to complete their studies and thea they would go into business or seek employment in India where Urdu was necessary. For these he would say that Urdu was essential and they should be encouraged to study the language without hindrance, especially as they speak Urdu in their homes.

In conclusion, Mr. Arculli con. gratulated the prize winners and said that all those who had worked hard and given of their best were also deserving of praise. To these he would say that it did not matter whether they won a prize to-day or to-morrow-the fact remained that they were making the key to the door of success. (Applause.)
