The Hongkong accent

Re Friday's 'Comment' on "Policy on schools": It is rather: premature to be come so eisted with ⋅ the promise of better thingy to come in respect of provi- sion for our educational needs.

It is one thing to build more schools, to encourage the building of more schools, and to subaldies more schools when bulli, and quite another thing to make these schools "serviceable', that is to say, to staff them - with well qualified teach- ers of a high enough call- bre to be able to handle the ever increasingly dif Hcult standard exicted of our primary and secondary students today.

Before the Pacific War many of our well-known and reputable schools would Brilish teachers engage direct from the United Kingdom to handle the upper forms, particularly in subjects requiring a high standard of both well- ten and oral English with the result that pre-war students of these, schools received a good grounding in English and could speak with the proper socent sa taught in schools in Bri- tain.

Today, with,
