invited on the desirability of accepting the uesign
carrying the first prize as a substitute for the present
cover of the journal. The designs that were selected for
special consideration were also placed on the table, in
case members might be interested in seeing them.
Sir William Rothenstein's view, which was accepteu by other
members of the Selection Committee, was that the designs
were full of interest and gave an encouraging idea of art
progress, but with reference to the special purpose for
which they were intended they did not as a whole show very
great merit. The lettering was in most cases disappointing. The representative of the Oxford University Press thought that, from the technical point of view, there was no objection to acceptance of the winning design.
(0) The Official Secretary reported that
Fr. Pickthorn hau written expressing his regret at his
inability to be present owing to 111-health.
8.(a) Secondary Education Policy in Hong Kong
(A.C.2.C. 34/38). Mr. Burney said that the changes and
reforms recommended in the Governor's despatch were a
step in the right direction.
There was a certain amount
of criticism that he might be disposed to make in detail
but he would not do so at the meeting.
The action recorded in paragraph (4) of the Governor's despatch was contrary, Mr. Burney believed, to the Committee's recommendation, for appointing special
visiting instructors in physical training, because it
meant waiting for the recruitment to the ordinary staff of
teachers with the necessary qualifications. A beginning
was better than nothing, but the plan should not be
