For kiddies residing the Island, it is almost a tragedy. To reach the school in Kowloon they must be up at the crack of dawn und, during the coming winter months, will not return un- til darkness. To ask child- ren to turn to them and do homework which will take them several hours is in- viting trouble in later years. The strain is far too great, expecially on Hongkong children who have to work 80 hard in tho warm weather.

It appears that each year teachera are setting more and more homework in the more hopes of pumping in knowledge in a shorter time and pushing children into higher classes. That is not education. It is cramming and therefore stupid.
