It is satisfactory to learn that the

recently established vernacular middle school is popular, applications for admission oxceeding the number of vacancies. This is a secondary school in which, in addition to English and the ordinary subjects of tho school curriculum, special attontion is paid to the Chinose literature and languago. Further information regarding the facilities offered or contemplated by the Hong Kong University to assist in the studies of ex pupils of this school would have been welcome.

A steady increase in the enrolment of British pupils in the schools maintained by the Government for this community continues. The total enrolmont is now 466. There seems to be a growing tondency for British colonists to settle in the Colony and to re- gard it as their home.
