Comment on the situation that has developed at the D.B.S. from the appointment as head prefect of a boy "poli- tically objectionable" to other boys, was refused by Mr. G. A.

It is understood that a walk- out has been threatened by 14 Chinese prefects and a number of other students, on refusal of the school authorities to res- cind the appointment of a Formosan student of Chinese extraction as head prefect.
Deputations were sent to the Headmaster and to Bishop Hall, chairman of the School Com- mittee, but no settlement has yet been reached.
There is no question of a "general strike" developing. Those protesting represent only a section of the School.
