D. Ho Kai's remarks.
I am much surprised at the remarks on overpressure, by Dr. Ho Kai. From his own experiences in Law and Medicine in England and elsewhere,
Dr Kai must be aware that the hard work entailed
by individual ambition is quite apart from the "question of systematic over pressure. As regards "Chinese boys too &c." Ho Kai cannot be unaware
that it is in accordance with Chinese ideas and customs for parents to keep their sons unceasingly at study from morning till night. In fact, I have often had complaints from Chinese parents that sufficient work is not provided to their sons, which would seem to indicate that the parents do not recognise the existence of the evil, so alarmingly depicted by Dr. Ho Kai and Dr. Eitel.

In paragraph 6 of the Report of the Inspector of Schools (Your Letter No. 6 Enclosure) the following sentence occurs.
"Some schools, specially the Victoria College, are great sinners in this respect, as those I have "known them to punish a naughty boy by "pouring 400 or even 500 lines of print
tonight."
Dr. Eitel is aware that by the Head Master's printed regulations no master is permitted to inflict
more than 300 lines
as a
very severe
penalty in serious cases.
I am surprised that Dr. Eitel should quote to the detriment of the reputation of Victoria College, what is merely an act of insubordination on the part of a junior master,
