Dear Mayhew,
With further reference to the School Certificate Examination
in which your Advisory Committee has shown interest, I think you may
care to see the attached copy of a letter which I have recently
addressed to the Vice-Chancellor of the Hong Kong University on the
vexed question of the Chinese syllabus in Group II.
As you may have heard I am quite shortly leaving this post
on promotion. 1 am sorry that you have not nad the opportunity of
meeting my successor G. K. Sayer who will I am sure continue the
existing cordial relations. He was a contemporary of mine at Queen's
Oxford and besides Honour Mods and Greats has the advantage of being
a good. Chinese scholar. We have our educational experts in the
department but no one capable of tackling the question of vernacular
education which is in some ways the main problem out here to my mind.
Yours sincerely,
M. Smak
