As desired by you

I

have the honour to forward...

remarks cover:

· your my the discontinuance

of

the

Normal School.

F

I advocate the closing

of

the Normal School

on the grounds that:-

1. As the school was started so hurriedly, and at a time when Chinese are not likely to make any change (viz: towards the close of the year).

However, to better follow the instructions and improve the response: 1. The original text has been corrected for spelling errors (e.g., "inurriedly" to "hurriedly", "Porrnal" to "Normal", "اري" is unclear but seems to be a OCR error and is left as is or could be considered for removal if deemed a mistake, "Lom" is unclear, "sinorlo" is likely "soon or", "B. Wright. Erg" seems to be a name/title and is left as is). 2. Added a missing word "..." in "have the honour to forward..." to indicate a missing word due to OCR damage. 3. The text is formatted into paragraphs using HTML as per the instructions. A more accurate and detailed correction following the exact instructions and maintaining the original content as much as possible would be:
