Initiative, Bense of civic consciousness and a responsibility: these are the attributes which must be developed in school- children if they are to take their pro- per place in the world when they have completed their academic studies. And it is gratifying to observe that it is these qualities which local education is now striving to encourage. Neither the facilities for education, nor the educa- tional system are by any means per- fect. Yet both problems are being treated as a matter of urgency in Hongkong and much progress has been Two made towards resolving them. factors have mitigated against faster: progress.

NHE idea of an Education Week in Hongkong is admirable. In the first place it is novel, which automati. cally makes it commendable; secondly it throws an entirely new public light on the present day type of education ns dispensed in this Colony; thirdly it brings pupils, teachers, parents and friends together in an intimate utmo- sphere of mutual interest in what is being attempted, what is being achloved and what, perhaps, might be desirable for future curricula; fourthly, It helps to give children a becoming sense of their importance in the world of scholarly and cultural advancement. Wo congratulate wholeheartedly the Education authorities both for the idea and the manner in which it is this week being translated into effect.
