Government House,

Hongkong, 25th. May, 1906.

My Lord,

In the 5th. paragraph of my Des-

-patch No. 50, dated the 5th. March, 1906, in which I for-

-warded Reports on Queen's College for the year 1905, I

stated that an attempt to raise the general standard of the

education given in that College by the formation of a

Collegiate Class there had failed and that the question

of starting Evening Extension Classes to be held at the

College but to be open to all was under consideration.

2.

I had referred this question on

the 23rd. November last to a Committee consisting of

the

Registrar-General, who has knowledge of Chinese educational

wants, the Head Master of Queen's College, the Inspector

of Schools, and the Assistant Director of Public Works

with Mr. V. H. Williams the Head Master of the Victoria

British School, who had had experience of evening classes

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE EARL OF ELGIN,

K.G.,
