Dear Cowell,

As I promised in my letter of 16th January, 1937,

on the subject of the Engineering Faculty at the Hong Kong

University, I now forward a copy of the Report of the Committee

which I told you that I was appointing.

I think that all the points raised in your letter

of 11th February, 1936, are touched on in paragraphs 20 to 37

of the Report. Paragraph 32 in particular throws some light

on the real difficulties, mostly psychological, which stand in

the way of practical workshop training in the Colony.

The Advisory Committee on Education will no doubt

in due course receive copies of the full Report, which has not

yet been considered by my Executive Council, but I thought it

desirable to let you have this advance copy in connection with

your specific enquiries as to the Engineering Faculty.

Yours sincerely,

Waldecort

H. R. Cowell, Esq., C.M.G.,

Colonial Office,

London.
