GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 3rd. July, 1917.

I have the honour to forward for your

information copies of Circular letters relating to the opening by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce in this Colony of

School for teaching the Chinese language together with a

syllabus of the proposed instruction. I am of opinion that thir

scheme may be of great assistance to Civil Servants who may

desire to study for a bonus and I have accordingly authorised

that future candidates may be allowed to choose between

private study and attendance at this school.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Hom

Covernor,&c..

THE RIGHT HONDURABLE

WALTER LONG, M.P.,
