GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 10th July, 1923.

My Lord Duke,

Referring to Your Grace's despatch No.63 of

the 21st March, 1923, I have the honour to inform you that my attention has been drawn to certain statements, made in a letter dated March 5th, 1923, from Mr. Meacock to the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, apparently with reference to a pamphlet on conditione in Hongkong supplied by the Board of Education to candidates for appointment. As these statements are not strictly true

I instructed the Director of Education to prepare a short memorandum of conditions which might usefully be given to candidates for posts in the Education Department of this Colony.

I would suggest that the memorandum be printed and forwarded to the Board of Education.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord Duke,

Your Grace's most obedient

humble servant,

7.E. Stutts

Governor, &c.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE, K.G.,
