appears at first sight; - and that the demands upon the College instructional staff, have entailed disadvantages for which a grant of public Money can only partially compensate.
While I cannot report youths present capable to fill situations in the Diplomatic Service, I beg to repeat what I have written on a former occasion - if a higher view than a mere pecuniary one were taken.
Our pupils are to be found not only in California and the Sandwich Islands, but also in the West Indies and Australia. In the two latter Countries two of our former pupils (in addition to others who have received their education in a School at Shanghae under a Missionary) - have during the last twelve months entered upon situations in connexion with the Government, and repay the Government for their instruction.
I beg to state to your Excellency my sincere feelings that the Government should consider the question of the continuance of this grant; it is not agreeable to my feelings that it should even appear to your Excellency (as I am led to infer) that the Government will see reason not to grudge their annual outlay in the benefits which they reap from the College.
Our pupils, taking with them a degree of knowledge which may be made the basis of a more advanced education in the Countries to which they emigrate - are to be found in those distant parts. A portion of the debt incurred by the British Government as Interpreters in Hong Kong is due to the College.
