Sir,
London Missionary Society,
[REG! JAN 18 Hongkong, 10th. October, 1917.
With reference to former correspondence addressed by you to Miss Davies, of this Mission, on the subject of a new and greatly enlarged School Building, on the site of the present Training Home for Girls, within this Mission compound:- I have now the honour to state, specifically, in reply to your questions, that the land medistely adjacent on the side of the builting under reference, has been granted, definitely, by the London Missionary Society, through its Foreign Secretary, and, together with the site already occupied by the present school premises, will be assigned to the purposes of the enlarged school.
The L. M. S. Secretary further instructs the local mission that the new building should accommodate three hundred Girl students, with Class rooms sufficient for the teaching of both Chinese and English subjects and with Departments ranging from Kindergarten to Middle School, with Nomal Training. It is also in contemplation to provide accommodation for a certain number of Teachers, including Luncheon Room, Piano Rooms, Cloak Rooms and other apartments that properly belong to properly equipped and appointed schools of this type.
To carry out the scheme outlined will entail an expenditure of eighty thousand dollars ($80,000). The new section which it is proposed, in the first instance, to build, will cost, at the high rates now charged, at least forty thousand dollars
(840,000).
The London Missionary Society is prepared to meet
a considerable portion of this expenditure. It is not, however, in a position to build the School, without very substantial aid from sources outside the Mission. A main purpose of this letter is to inquire, at the instance of the L. H. S. Foreign Secretary,
whether the Colonial Government is willing to make, in due course,
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
