Central British School, together with the balance,

after providing for the Diocesan Boys' School, of

the one million dollars proposed for the erection

of the new Central British School, be earmarked in

the future, and as the finances of the Colony permit, to provide establishments which will be necessary for the provision of elementary education

for the children of the Chinese residents of the

Kowloon peninsula.
