As regards his work as Director of Education,

I have only praise, and it is a branch in which

I take a very special interest.

In 1905, I passed an examination in Cantonese

Colloquial, and a "further" examination in written Chinese.

No other member of the service has to my knowledge passed a

win, Registrar General, I acted for him for three months.

In 1906, on a similar requeat being made by him, the then

Governor, Sir Matthew Nathan, minuted that I might be allow-

ed to do 30, "there being no cadet officer available",

and in reply to my protest, I received a letter from the
