Sir,

I have the honour to enclose a copy of a Petition recently presented to me praying for the establishment of a School for children of European British Parentage on the Island of Hongkong.

2.

It will be within your knowledge that the Committee which reported in 1901 on the Educational System of the Colony recommended that two schools, one at Victoria and one at Kowloon, should be opened by Government for children born in the Colony of British parents. In his Despatch No.300 of the 12th September, 1902, Mr. Chamberlain, in commenting on the Committee's recommendation, indicated that Government might reasonably provide or give facilities for separate schools if asked for by particular sections of the Community on reasonable grounds and with adequate backing.

The Kowloon School was established, but the suggestion of the Committee that the Victoria School should be located in the building presented to the Colony as a Reformatory by Mr. Belilios, C.M.G., necessitated correspondence in England with that gentleman. The last Despatch on the subject was No.360 of the 21st July, 1903, in which Sir Henry
