Meeting with Mr. Burney tomorrow

I am very sorry that owing to a long-

standing committee engagement it is quite

impossible for me to attend.

You will perhaps be able to draw his

attention to the constitution of the Board of

Education with reference to my minute of

4.12 below.

He has already, I think, been given the

latest Annual Report of the Department and the

latest green Colonial Report. If he feels,

as we do, that the form and content of the

Education Report are unsatisfactory he might

ask the Director of Education to show him

the suggestions made by the Advisory Committee

on Education in the Colonies regarding the

form and content which have so far not re-

ceived enough attention in Hong Kong.

I send with this the 1933 Year Book

of Education which contains a most useful

account of Hong Kong education written by

Forster, Professor of Education in Hong Kong

University. It is far better than anything

given in the Annual Report and contains also

information about the University. If Mr.

Burney would care to take this with him it

can be lent to him if he would like to have

it on the voyage but ofcourse we should be

glad to have it back when he returns as it is

our only copy. It has some other articles
