Building and staff to be provided by the Government for the peninsula of Kowloon, as the Central School was for the town of Victoria, seems not only reasonable, but necessary.

The history of the old Central School might with advantage be followed in the new enterprise.

Be content with small beginnings, but leave room for expansion.

Select a site capable of holding Master's house, School building and playground.

Build only a six-roomed house, two rooms of which should serve as classrooms for 72 scholars.

If in 5 years the accommodation prove inadequate erect a classroom for 150; in another ten years, if necessary, another classroom for 150 could be built at a little distance and in twenty years the two could be joined by a large hall capable of holding 200; thus ultimately providing accommodation for 500 for a Kowloon college, if the increase of population in that district (anticipated by many) should be realised.

The following rough plan illustrates my suggestion.
