3. There is a school for sons of the troops. Would this cease to exist?

4. In 1900 the Belilios Public School had 33 British or American pupils, who appear to be educated in an "English division". I take it these would be removed to the new school, as the objections to co-education of English and Chinese children would seem to apply.

(5) I think Government should refuse to concern itself with the religious teaching given, which should not be paid from public funds and should be conducted on the "voluntary" system, before or after school hours, i.e., by persons unconnected with the school.

(This is, to a certain extent, a compromise between the views of the petitioners and those of the CPE.)

I would leave this alone. CPE Yes (PE 37826 Inspector of Schools).

(6) The school should be placed under the Inspector of Schools.

B. A petition, signed by two unofficial Chinese members of the Legislative Council, the Chairman of the National Bank of China, a solicitor, and four other Chinese gentlemen, asks for the establishment of suitable English schools for the education of boys and girls belonging to the upper class of resident Chinese.

Their chief objection to the existing system is the indiscriminate mingling of Chinese of every class in the existing schools. They find sending their children abroad, or engaging a private tutor, a costly and difficult process.
