case of one or more Students it appears to me doubtful whether it is not useless to expect them to acquire any knowledge of the language. In the case of 164 Ball I would suggest that, if A. M. Government expect

him to qualify himself for the post of an interpreter, he ought to be relieved from school-work. Otherwise but little progress can be expected of him in Hakka Colloquial, until

he has finished his studies in the written language

as required by the Board

of Examination.

Your obedient Servant,
