The names appear under the headings of Butterfield and Swire, Taikoo Dock and the China Navigation Co).\n\nFrom Gilman and Co. Ltd.”\n\n\"In loving memory of 1st Class P.O. Blansdon, S.S.

The Cenotaph, an exact replica of the one in Whitehall, London, was unveiled and dedicated to \"The Glorious Dead.\"\n\nIt constitutes only part of our War Memorial. A Nursing Home is also being built to fill a much felt need in the Colony.\n\nAfter a brief pause the Band played the National Anthem, which has long been known as a symbol of unity.\n\nThis completed the official proceedings, and the general public were able to place their own wreaths at the base of the Cenotaph.\n\nThere was a continuous stream of people visiting the Cenotaph until dusk, and the collection of wreaths and bunches of flowers placed at the base of the memorial kept growing. As darkness set in, large numbers of Chinese clustered around, and in the end, it was found necessary to post a special guard of police to guard the tributes.\n\nThe granite monument has no decoration and the inscription \"The Glorious Dead\" with the date, 1919, in Roman figures. On either side, three bronze flagstaffs project from the masonry and carry, on the centre flagstaff, the Union Jack flanked by the White and the Red Ensign. The Cenotaph is 35 feet in height, and the base measures 18ft. 6 inches by 8ft. 6 inches. Four approaches, cobbled and paved with granite, bisect the grass lawns beyond the Memorial.\n\nAs is generally known, Hongkong's tribute to those who died in the War is to include a Nursing Home to be erected at a cost of roughly a million dollars. The present memorial cost $60,000 exclusive of the site, which was dedicated to the purpose by the Government.\n\nAmong the large gathering present yesterday, seated in the temporary stands erected around the Memorial, were to be noticed all the members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, the members of the War Memorial Committee, the Consuls of all the Powers represented in Hongkong, practically all the Naval and Military Officers at present in the Colony, and a representative gathering of the general public, including a large number of ladies and children.\n\nThe verandahs overlooking the Square were thronged with people, whilst on those of the Hongkong Club, seats had been specially erected for the accommodation of members and their wives. The official arrangements were remarkably efficient, and the whole proceedings went through without a hitch.\n\nAt each corner of the steps which constitute the base of the Cenotaph, there stood, with arms reversed, a sailor of the Royal Navy, a dark-skinned soldier of the Bombay Grenadiers, a khaki-clad \"Tommy\" of the King's Regiment, and a member of the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Force, respectively.\n\nH.E. The GOVERNOR Said: \"My Lord Bishop, ladies and gentlemen, We have met here to-day to unveil this memorial to those who gave their lives for their country in the greatest war in which the British Empire has ever taken part.\n\n...\n\nTHE FLORAL TRIBUTES.\n\n\"In loving memory of my dear brother Sgt.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.\"\n\nAfter a slight pause, the Rev. J. KIRK MACONACHIE recited the following:\n\n\"Christ is risen from the dead; and become the first fruits of them that slept.\n\nFor in Adam all die: even so in Christ shall all be made alive.\n\nGlory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.\n\nAs it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end, Amen.\"\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nCALCUTTA.\n\nRS. 31,000 WORTH OF COCAINE HAUL ON TANDA.\n\nThe latest Calcutta papers to hand report a very large seizure of cocaine on the s.s.

Their places were not at present to be filled and Mr. Hamlyn, Superintendent of Education, was taking charge of the school, in addition to his other duties.\n\n(ii) Hong Kong. Mr. Mayhew referred to the form and content of the Hong Kong Report and hoped that the Committee would agree to recommend that copies of one or two of the best Reports should be sent to the Director of Education as specimens.\n\nThe Committee agreed.\n\n(iii) Northern Rhodesia. - With reference to the Report on European Education, Northern Rhodesia, Mr. Mayhew pointed out that the increase in enrolment from 564 to 774 was the largest annual increase that had been recorded there. The increase had been mainly in the mining areas. Pending the provision of secondary school facilities, 29 grants were being paid by Government for secondary education outside the Colony.\n\n(iv) Palestine and Federated Malay States. Mr. Mayhew drew attention to the encouraging features of the Palestine Education Report and the Report of the Federated Malay States, which had been emphasized in the Abstracts (`ACEC 24/31` and `ACEC 26/31` respectively). *Oversea Education* contained a considerable number of articles on various aspects of education in those areas and the current October number contained an account of compulsory education in Malaya, while the January number would contain an account of an experimental child village in Palestine. He also drew attention to the fact noted in the Federated Malay States Report that Dr. Winstedt had recently terminated his ten years' service as head of the Department. Most important developments had taken place during that period and Dr. Winstedt acknowledged gratefully the loyal co-operation of his staff.\n\n(v) Trinidad and the Falkland Islands. Annual Reports from these had also been received, but it was not thought necessary to circulate either the Reports or Abstracts thereof. Copies would be circulated to members who might wish to see them.\n\n(c) Nigeria. - An Education Ordinance for the Northern Provinces, 1931, had been received. Mr. Mayhew referred briefly to the more important features of the Ordinance, and said that a few spare copies were available which could be sent to any members, who might desire to see them, for perusal and return.\n\n(d) Swaziland. Referring to the Note on Education by the Resident Commissioner (`ACEC 21/31`), Mr. Mayhew said that this Note would presumably be taken into consideration by the sub-committee which was investigating educational proposals for Bechuanaland and Swaziland.\n\n(e) West Africa. - Mr. Mayhew reported that Miss Heath, who had recently been touring West Africa as the World's Young Women's Christian Association representative, had placed a copy of the report of her visit at the disposal of the Committee and had also given information regarding the Young Women's Christian Association plans for development of their work in West Africa. This report could be supplied to any members of the Committee who might wish to see it in connexion with women's education in Africa.\n\n(f) Mr. Vischer's Report on his Visit to Tripoli. - Mr. Mayhew said that this report was practically complete but that submission of it to the Committee had been delayed pending Mr. Vischer's return and final revision. Meanwhile, Mr. Vischer had kindly given permission for certain portions of it to appear in *Oversea Education* if required. Mr. Mayhew asked whether the Committee saw any objection to such publication, pending submission of the full Report to the Committee, if due acknowledgement was made.\n\nThe Committee saw no objection.\n\n(g) Kenya. - Referring to the Governor's despatch of the 10th July (`ACEC 25/31`), regarding certain Government African schools, Mr. Mayhew said that in view of certain comments which had been made by the Committee on proposals for re-organization of African education, it was satisfactory to have an assurance from the Governor that the schools were essentially experimental and that there was no intention of entrusting their control or the control of similar schools in whole or in part to the local Native Councils. The assurance regarding subsidies to Mission schools in paragraph 4 of the despatch should also be noted.\n\n## 3 \n\n4. **Cultural Relations with China (Hong Kong University)**. - Discussion of the Report of the British Economic Mission to the Far East (circulated with `ACEC 16/31`) was resumed from the 29th Meeting (minutes Item 6). A memorandum by Lord Lugard (`ACEC 20/31`) had been circulated.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN thanked Lord Lugard on behalf of the Committee for his memorandum. He pointed out, however, that this memorandum had been written in July, since when the financial situation in this country had changed considerably. This affected particularly Lord Lugard's recommendations for applying for assistance from the Empire Marketing Fund and the Colonial Development Fund. The Chairman very much doubted whether the Secretary of State would be prepared to adopt these suggestions; or whether, if he did, there was the smallest prospect that assistance would be given. He explained that he was expressing his personal opinion and was without explicit instructions in the matter.\n\nSir JAMES CURRIE considered that if the suggestions commended themselves to the Committee they should be recommended to the Secretary of State irrespective of their chance of being adopted.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN mentioned in this connexion that in so far as the Colonial Development Fund was available for educational purposes, advances could be made for technical education only.\n\nMr. HORRABIN added that he had obtained a promise from the Secretary of State in the House of Commons that applications of this kind would not be rejected out of hand on account of the reduction in the Grant. They would be considered on their merits though those schemes which would give the greatest and speediest benefit to the United Kingdom would stand the best chance of success. Lord Lugard in his memorandum had made out a strong case from the commercial point of view, which should operate in favour of this proposal.\n\nSir JAMES CURRIE said that he had heard that the young Chinese were unable to read a British engineering specification and could only read United States specifications. They were also beginning to go to Soviet Universities.\n\nProfessor SOOTHILL said that the Chinese were jealous of Hong Kong University and would oppose any proposals for further subsidizing out of the Indemnity Fund. Efforts should be made to establish the reputation of the University in special lines of study. This could be done by improvements in the faculties of engineering and medicine. In addition, the arts faculty, an essential element in any University, should be strengthened, especially on the Chinese side. The development of medicine and engineering involved increased facilities for physics and chemistry. Improved in this way, Hong Kong University could be made the leading force in China in engineering, and in medicine would be rivalled only by Shanghai.\n\nLord LUGARD, referring to the suggestion that Hong Kong University was unpopular in China, said that he had understood from Professor Forster that the reverse was the case.\n\nMr. SEWELL said that the United Committee for Christian Universities of China were very anxious that more of their students should go to Universities in Great Britain, instead of the United States of America, but that it was difficult to get them into Universities in this country. Most of the Christian Universities in China had been registered in America and their degrees were accepted by Universities in the Dominions. There was a strong move to get students to go to the Dominions rather than to the United States. For the undergraduate medical students whom he had taught in China, the natural centre for academic work seemed to him to be Hong Kong. In general, the parents of the boys wished them to go to Hong Kong, but for political reasons, strong pressure was often brought to bear and the students went to Pekin. This was a difficulty which would not be overcome while there was a strong Nationalist feeling in China. In Western China, there was little knowledge of Hong Kong University, which should be the leading University. The Chinese Government had ordered that a school of engineering should be established in Canton and had selected the Christian College. The money had been provided and the building established. Hong Kong University should be linked up with China and developed so as to occupy an authoritative and influential position in the Chinese academic world.\n\nIn reply to a question from Sir James Currie, Mr. SEWELL said that there was pressing need for agricultural education.\n\nMr. BEALE said that during the last twenty years, British trade with China had fallen considerably, and the whole trend of China had been towards the United States. Equipment was almost entirely of United States origin. China was on the eve of a greater industrial development than ever before, and Great Britain was in danger of not having her fair share of trade with China. Any students sent to Great Britain should be carefully selected and it should be ascertained that they would ultimately return to China. There was a real need for an educational and cultural contact between Great Britain and China.\n\nMr. FARRER said that, while recognizing these considerations, the view taken in the Department of Overseas Trade had hitherto been that the evidence accumulated by Lord Buxton's Committee showed that it was more desirable that education should be cultural rather than technical. In so far as technical education was concerned, the greatest value appeared to arise from actual training in the workshop, but there were considerable practical difficulties in the way of arranging this. With regard to cultural education for foreigners, it had originally been proposed to refer such questions to a committee to be set up by the Foreign Office, but owing to the pressure of economy, the institution of that committee was understood to have been dropped.\n\nProfessor SOOTHILL said that a University must be judged by the character of the pupils which it sent out. He asked whether Hong Kong University came up to standard in this respect and if it was definitely giving the engineering students more than they could receive from the other Universities. If not, then it would only be regarded as a second-rate University.\n\nMr. CALDER explained that the Hong Kong Government contributed nearly $400,000 per annum to the University and were not in a position to give more money. A certain amount was received in fees, but the majority of the students had scholarships. The University had always been struggling against financial difficulties.\n\nSir JAMES CURRIE asked if any financial help could be obtained from Europeans in Hong Kong. There was a general feeling that not much additional help could at present be expected from that quarter.\n\nLord LUGARD, in reply to a question from the Chairman, said that those Chinese students who had returned to their own country from the United States brought back a genuine enthusiasm for and belief in all things which emanated from there.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN said that the Committee were agreed that it was most desirable to do anything that could be done to increase British trade and influence in China, but he felt some doubt as to how far this general question came within the Committee's ambit. The difficulty on which they were asked to advise was that of finding, through educational means, a way of achieving the desired end. One suggestion was that provision should be made for scholarships from China to Hong Kong University and post-graduate scholarships from China to British Universities. He asked Dr. Lindsay whether such scholarships could be given out of the £200,000 placed at the disposal of the Universities China Committee from the Boxer Indemnity Fund.\n\nDr. LINDSAY said that the Universities China Committee could not come to any decision until a deputation, which was visiting China to examine the situation, had returned home and reported. This would probably not be till about June, 1932. At present, therefore, it was impossible to say how the £200,000 would be expended. It was intended for the benefit of Chinese Universities as a whole, but, speaking for himself, he thought that a certain amount might be allocated to Hong Kong University, while some of it would probably be used for the benefit of Chinese students in Great Britain. The deputation, of which Sir Reginald Johnstone was a member, would visit Hong Kong.\n\nTurning to another question that had been raised, viz. :-the supervision of Chinese students in this country, the CHAIRMAN drew attention to the fact that a sub-committee had been appointed at the last meeting to consider what steps could best be taken to ensure the proper supervision of students from all parts of the Colonial Empire. He suggested that in so far as students from Hong Kong were concerned, it... \n\nPage 10 \nPage 11 \n12", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-531-11 Hong Kong University- general and financial points 14-9-1931 - 8-11-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 528298, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-531-11 Hong Kong University- general and financial points 14-9-1931 - 8-11-1931", "page_number": 11, "title": "CO129-531-11 Hong Kong University- general and financial points 14-9-1931 - 8-11-1931", "content_text": "## 5 \n\nIt might be desirable for the sub-committee to keep in touch with the China Universities Committee. Dr. LINDSAY, for the latter body, agreed.\n\nIt was finally agreed as follows:-\n\n(i) The Committee supported Lord Lugard's memorandum generally. In view of the important commercial issues involved they felt that it was essential to improve the technical faculties of the University, especially engineering.\n\n(ii) In particular, they hoped that the Secretary of State might find it possible at a later date to support an application for assistance from the Colonial Development Fund for buildings, and also that it might be possible to secure an allocation from the £200,000 at the disposal of the Universities China Committee for the benefit of Hong Kong University and Hong Kong students in the United Kingdom. They recognised, however, that no concrete proposals could be made pending the report of the deputation now in China, and the receipt of any recommendations thereon by the University authorities and the Hong Kong Government.\n\n(iii) They agreed that, in dealing with the question of the supervision of Hong Kong students in this country, the sub-committee might appropriately keep in touch with the Universities China Committee.\n\nMr. Beale, Mr. Farrer, Dr. Lindsay, Mr. Sewell, and Professor Foothill then withdrew.\n\n5. Biology and Education. (Compare 26th Minutes,* Item 5.)-A final report by the sub-committee appointed at the 21st Meeting (see 21st Minutes,† Item 5) had been circulated to members (`ACEC27/31`).\n\nAfter a brief discussion, the Committee adopted the sub-committee's Report.\n\n6. Other Business.-The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Lacey if he would make a short statement regarding education in Nyasaland generally.\n\nMr. LACEY said that trade schools had now been established in Nyasaland for two or three years and were being successfully carried on at Livingstone and Blantyre. Both bookbinders and metal-workers were successfully trained at these schools. Skilled and unskilled labour was exported in large numbers from Nyasaland. Tanganyika Territory and Northern Rhodesia were producing more and more artisans of this kind and Missionary Societies in Nyasaland had to consider the danger of producing too many trained artisans. The labour that went north was skilled labour and comparatively small in number. Most of the unskilled labour preferred the south. The Nyasaland native was at a premium in Southern Rhodesia. It was important that he should be taught the importance of running his own country before he considered employment in other territories. A Native Affairs Department had recently been formed.\n\nThe native could easily live in his own country on small wages. For sixpence a week he could provide food for his wife and family. When the natives left Nyasaland they generally left their wives and families behind and this gave rise to serious difficulties. Nevertheless, the wives and families could not accompany the natives as the journey, which was a long one, had to be accomplished on foot. Most natives possessed a plot of land which was cultivated by the women and children and on which they relied if they lost their employment.\n\nIn reply to a question regarding the high rate of infant mortality, Mr. LACEY said that there was a maternity centre at the Jeanes School. Midwifery was taught. There were only four trained African midwives. The attitude taken by the Missionary Societies was that a child of 12 years of age could not be given instruction in infant welfare work. Mr. Lacey did not agree with this. The African child matured early and usually married at the age of 14 to 16. Pupils aged about 10 years old or even younger should be instructed in child welfare. Nothing could, however, be done in this matter until the syllabus for girls, which was under discussion at present, had been settled.\n\n7.\n\nThe next meeting of the Committee was fixed for Thursday, 19th November.\n\n*See page ... in Miscellaneous No. 397.*\n†See page ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-531-11 Hong Kong University- general and financial points 14-9-1931 - 8-11-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 528299, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-531-11 Hong Kong University- general and financial points 14-9-1931 - 8-11-1931", "page_number": 12, "title": "CO129-531-11 Hong Kong University- general and financial points 14-9-1931 - 8-11-1931", "content_text": "# Extract from Draft Minutes of the Thirteenth Meeting \nof the Advisory Committee on Education in the Colonies \nheld in the Colonial Office on Thursday the 1st October, 1931, at 11 a.m.\n\n## 4. Cultural Relations with China (Hong Kong University)\n\nDiscussion of the Report of the British Economic Mission to the Far East (circulated with `ACEC16/31`) was resumed from the 29th Meeting (minutes item 6). A Memorandum by Lord Lugard (`ACEC20/31`) had been circulated.\n\nThe Chairman thanked Lord Lugard on behalf of the Committee for his memorandum. He pointed out however that this memorandum had been written in July, since when the financial situation in this country had changed considerably. This affected particularly Lord Lugard's recommendations for applying for assistance from the Empire Marketing Fund and the Colonial Development Fund. The Chairman very much doubted whether the Secretary of State would be prepared to adopt these suggestions; or whether, if he did, there was the smallest prospect that assistance would be given. He explained that he was expressing his personal opinion and was without explicit instructions in the matter.\n\nSir James Currie considered that if the suggestions commended themselves to the Committee they should be recommended to the Secretary of State irrespective of their chance of being adopted.\n\nThe Chairman mentioned in this connection that in so far as the Colonial Development Fund was available for educational purposes, advances could be made for technical education only.\n\nMr. Horrabin added that he had obtained a promise from the Secretary of State in the House of Commons that applications of this kind would not be rejected out of hand on account of the reduction in the Grant. They would be considered on their merits though those schemes which would give the greatest and speediest benefit to the United Kingdom would stand the best chance of success. Lord Lugard in his memorandum had made out a strong case from the commercial point of view, which should operate in favour of this proposal.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-531-11 Hong Kong University- general and financial points 14-9-1931 - 8-11-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 528303, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-531-11 Hong Kong University- general and financial points 14-9-1931 - 8-11-1931", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-531-11 Hong Kong University- general and financial points 14-9-1931 - 8-11-1931", "content_text": "## Extract from Draft Minutes of the Thirteenth Meeting \nof the Advisory Committee on Education in the Colonies \nheld in the Colonial Office on Thursday the 1st October, 1931, at 11 a.m.\n\n(11) Hong Kong.\n\nMr. Mayhew referred to the form and content of the Hong Kong Report and hoped that the Committee would agree to recommend that copies of one or two of the best Reports should be sent to the Director of Education as specimens.\n\n* Sierra Leone 1929.

It was decided that this need not be referred to the A.C.E.C., and I am afraid I have told them so. They must now push forward for some time.\n\nLet us wait for their comments on the two revised Codes and points raised. I should be grateful if the rector's explanatory notes and copies of the Codes could be sent to them.\n\nThe Govt's despatch tells us nothing except that the Grant Code is the result of prolonged discussions in which the framework of the W. K. educational system is outlined. The structure can be pieced together from the Colonial Yearbook. The Govt took an active part in the discussions.\n\nThe revision is extremely generous, especially with regard to Grants-in-Aid, as was contemplated, since ACEC warned that apparently nothing will be put into current recurrent revenue except from fees and from Govt; and the principal fear is lest Govt, having done this, find it needs money for financing projects of its own, which will then not be available. But H.K. is wealthy and has presumably thought of this.\n\nWe must find out what is going to happen to the presumably substantial contribution likely to be made by the authorities owning the Grant Schools, i.e., the vernacular primary schools (as opposed to the \"English\" secondary and primary schools and the vernacular secondary schools), which must deviously be poorer but don't get such generous treatment.\n\nCul C.\n\n27.4.41\n\nPage 10\n\n## Mr. Cox, \n\nI have scrutinized the revised Grant and Subsidy Codes for Hong Kong in the light of the Director's Memorandum, the Annual Report for the year 1938, and the A.C.E.C's Memorandum on Educational Grants-in-Aid.\n\nThe new proposals are far-reaching and munificent: as the Director states, they provide more generous assistance than that contemplated in the Advisory Committee's Memorandum. Both Codes are clearly the result of careful thought and planning, and it is scarcely conceivable that the Government of Hong Kong can be unaware of their financial implications. Indeed, it is specifically stated that an immediate increase of approximately 60% in annual recurrent grants is contemplated.\n\nThe Grant Code applies to \"English\" Schools which provide a five-year course. Pupils entering such schools have usually completed at least four years' schooling at a Chinese School first. Besides the seven \"English\" schools conducted by Government, there were, in 1938, seven Grant-in-Aid \"English\" schools which, with one exception, were managed by Missions; these latter had both primary and secondary classes providing, in all, an eight-year course. Under the existing system, grants are paid on a capitation basis, each school receiving $40 per pupil annually. There were also 133 private \"English\" schools at the end of 1938, and it may be inferred that most, if not all, of these are maintained for private profit and thus ineligible for admission to a grant-in-aid system.\n\nThe proposed Code also applies to Higher Grade Vernacular Schools approved by the Director. So far as can be judged from the 1938 Report, very few institutions are likely to be affected. These may include Vernacular Middle Schools, of which six received a subsidy in 1938.\n\nThe Grant Code provides for recurrent grants, contributions to provident or superannuation funds, and capital grants. Section 5 sets out the considerations which will guide the Director in recommending to Government what grants shall be paid. The proviso states that nothing shall limit the Director's power to withdraw or reduce grants under Section 28. Such power may be exercised only after two warnings have been given over a period of two years.\n\nSections 7-28 refer to the mode of assessment. Recurrent Grants are to be determined for a triennium in advance and are to be assessed on the estimated difference between approved expenditure (which may include salaries, passages, rent, and other charges) and income from school fees.\n\nSection 7 suggests that, apart from the powers conferred in Section 28, the Director cannot vary the amount of grant payable during the triennium.\n\nThe salaries payable to European and non-European staff are carefully presented, clearly with due regard to local conditions. I do not quite understand why it is optional and appears to be designed to meet scruples. Some religious bodies may feel at drawing a \"colour bar\" between their members.\n\nPage 10\nPage 11\n\n`LBA 7.13/6`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-586-3 Grant of subsidies to vernacular schools 4-6-1940 - 7-8-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 571850, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-587-12 Evacuation from Hong Kong- passenger lists 8-7-1940 - 8-7-1940", "page_number": 41, "title": "CO129-587-12 Evacuation from Hong Kong- passenger lists 8-7-1940 - 8-7-1940", "content_text": "# SHEET FIVE\n\n## Particulars of Husband \n| Rank | Surname | Name |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| S/Sgt. | HOLMES | Roy Ronald |\n| Capt. | HOLMES | |\n| W.O.I | HOOD | |\n| Lieut. | HOWARD | |\n| Pte. | HOWE | |\n| B.Q.M.S. | HOWIESON | |\n| Mr. Gnr. | HUBBARD | |\n| C. 2.

So far we have received three advance copies from Borneo, Mauritius, and Hong Kong. The history of the duplication of these reports has been a sorry one.\n\nThe Borneo report was sent to be photostated and after some trouble and by way of a favour, 25 copies were produced and circulated to the O.T. Sub-Committee.\n\nThe Mauritius report was photostated very speedily and efficiently, but our efforts were brought to scorn about a week after photostating was completed, Mauritius sent us a large batch of printed copies.\n\nThe Hong Kong report was sent to us with a note from the Colonial Secretary regretting that no further copies of the report were available. I sent this to be photostated and was told by the copying department that the stationery office had a typing pool which could produce bound typescripts in about three weeks; since this process is much cheaper than photostating and since there was plenty of time available, I asked them to get this done. The reply was that the stationery office would not type copies of printed documents. I enquired further of Mr. Muston as to what could be done and he sent me the attached minute. As you can see, it is not very comfortable.\n\nIt seems to me that in view of our promises to the ACEC, this is a very unsatisfactory state of affairs and something ought to be done about it. Life is too short for one to attempt to summarise annual educational reports in large quantities, and in many cases, it is not possible to do so. Similarly, the resources of our typing pool are too small to be used for such work. If we are to fulfil our promises to the Committee, some means will have to be found of overcoming the difficulties expressed by Mr. Muston. At the same time, we shall obviously have to see that fiascos such as the needless photostating of the Mauritius report do not occur.\n\nMr. Dorman.\n\nJ.J.

They requested further information on the question of teachers in training and on the number of pupils attending the three teacher Training Colleges `ACEC(B)(49)3rd Minutes 7`.\n\n2. The sub-committee's comments were communicated to the Governor, who was also asked for information on the whole question of teacher training and in particular on the measures contemplated for improving teachers' salaries.

A reply has now been received from the Governor enclosing a memorandum by the Director of Education (Annex A) which he has summarised as follows:\n\n\"(a) that certificated teachers in subsidised schools should receive the same salary as teachers in Government and Grant-aided schools. At present they receive approximately two-thirds of that salary;\n(b) that subsidised school teachers should receive incremental credit for past experience on their new scale. At present it appears that they almost invariably start at the minimum of the new scale because this is greater than their previous salaries;\n(c) that there should be two different scales for urban and rural teachers;\n(d) that a special training centre should be instituted for lower primary teachers either in Northcote Training College or in a separate centre;\n(e) that some form of contributory superannuation should be devised for subsidised school teachers.\"\n\nThe Governor goes on to observe that \"in view, however, of increasing commitments on defence and security, the precise extent of which is not yet known, it is impossible to say to what extent the financial position will allow the implementation of any of the Director's recommendations in the near future.\"\n\n4.\n\nWith regard to the number of teachers in training the Governor has given the following explanation:-\n\n\"The 3 Training Colleges listed under B of Annex 1 (page", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-596-2 Education Department- annual report 1947-8- comments by Advisory sub-committee on Education in the Colonies 28-6-1949 - 1-2-1950.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 582758, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-596-2 Education Department- annual report 1947-8- comments by Advisory sub-committee on Education in the Colonies 28-6-1949 - 1-2-1950", "page_number": 13, "title": "CO129-596-2 Education Department- annual report 1947-8- comments by Advisory sub-committee on Education in the Colonies 28-6-1949 - 1-2-1950", "content_text": "## ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION IN THE COLONIES\n## TERRITORIAL SUB-COMMITTEE 'B'\n\n2\n\nThe sub-committee's comments were communicated to the Gov', who also asked for information on the whole question of teacher training, in particular teachers' salaries contemplated for improving teachers' salaries.\n\n## FURTHER ACTION\n\n1. The sub-committee at its meeting on the 28th June, 1949, commented on the Hong Kong Report and expressed concern at the dearth of certificated teachers. They requested further information on the question of teachers in training and on the number of pupils attending the three teacher Training Colleges `ACEC(B)(49)3rd Minutes7`.\n\n2. A despatch was sent to Hong Kong expressing the satisfaction of the Committee at the plans being made to develop teacher-training and to increase the number of schools; but stating that the Committee was seriously perturbed at the 'dearth of certificated teachers' and the paucity of teachers in training at the Northcote Training College, especially since expatriate staff was becoming increasingly difficult to secure. It was hoped that all possible measures to correct this dearth would be explored, and in particular such action as might be possible would be taken to encourage the improvement of teachers' salaries in subsidized schools. Further information on the whole question of teacher-training was requested. An explanation was also asked of the apparent inconsistency between the figures for teachers in training given in chapter VIII of the report and the figure of 713 given in annex 1 on page 48.\n\nPage 2 \n`CD`\n`ACE C(B)(50)6`\n`<1 JAN`\n`20 cpuis` \n**Your Reference** \n- **Mr. Secretary of State** \n- **Minister of State** \n- **Parly.

Sir Mark Young pointed out an apparent contradiction between Mr. Rowell's statement in paragraph 18 of the Minutes of the 3rd Meeting held on 16th July 1948 that private schools could charge what fees they liked and the second sentence of point 5 on page 3 of the Memorandum by Mr. Rowell (ACEC(OT)(48)4) which stated that legislation had been introduced prohibiting private schools from raising fees. It was DECIDED that elucidation on this point should be obtained from Mr. Rowell. The Minutes of the 3rd Meeting were then confirmed.\n\n2. THE HONG KONG SUBSIDY CODE (ACEC(48)17). The sub-committee did not understand why a Subsidy Code was needed since the Grant Code as revised in 1948 prescribed regulations in accordance with which the Grant-in-Aid was paid to vernacular schools. If a Subsidy Code was necessary in addition to the Grant Code, the sub-committee RECOMMENDED approval of the revised Subsidy Code subject to the following comments:-\n\n(a) It was thought that difficulties might arise from obscurities in the drafting of certain paragraphs of the Code, particularly paras 3, 12, 20(a), 26 and 30.\n\n(b) The sub-committee understood that as a result of the recent discussions which the Colonial Office had with the Director of Education, Hong Kong, and the Bishop of Hong Kong, the amendment of paragraph 3 had been suggested. The omission of the words \"shall be deemed ... regulations, and\" would appear to meet the objections which the Bishop had made. As the term \"Manager\" would then disappear from the wording of this paragraph, the sub-committee considered that the correct title \"Correspondent\" should replace \"school manager\" in paragraph 16.\n\n(c) The sub-committee wished to know how the figure 1.4 in paragraph 12 had been calculated. The formula suggested could give a part-time teacher a higher salary than one working full time.\n\n(d) The sub-committee suggested that the word \"approved\" should be inserted before \"educational purposes\" in paragraph 20(a).\n\n(e) The wording of paragraph 26 did not clearly indicate what was meant by \"higher standards\". The sub-committee suggested that there should be definitions of \"primary school course\" and \"middle school course\" referred to in this paragraph.\n\nColonial Office,\n\n15, Victoria Street,\n\nS.W.1\n\n13th December, 1948.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-603-2 Education Department- revised grant code 5-4-1948 - 6-1-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 586328, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-603-2 Education Department- revised grant code 5-4-1948 - 6-1-1949", "page_number": 115, "title": "CO129-603-2 Education Department- revised grant code 5-4-1948 - 6-1-1949", "content_text": "115\n\n२\n\nPresent:\n\nACEC(OT)3rd(48)Minutes.\n\nADVISORY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION IN THE COLONIES.\n\nOther Territories Sub-Committee.\n\nDraft minutes of the 3rd Meeting of the Other Territories Sub-Committee of the A.C.E.C. held on Friday 16th July, 1948 to discuss the replies from the Hong Kong Government to the queries raised on the Hong Kong Grant Code by the Sub-Committee last year.\n\nMr. Burney (Chairman)\n\nThe Rev.

The Sub-Committee at their meeting of the 19th March and 23rd October 1947 had queried the unduly high proportion of 14 teachers to 10 classes provided for in Part I, Section 19 of the Code, which reads as follows:\n\n\"The number of full-time teachers whose salaries may be included in approved expenditure shall be in the proportion of 14 teachers to every 10 classes in addition to the Headmaster or Headmistress. Part-time teachers may also be engaged for subjects such as Music, Art, Handwork and Physical Training, subject to the approval of the Director of Education\".\n\n2.\n\nMr. Rowell stated that it was now proposed to delete the second sentence; the effect of the deletion would be to include part-time teachers in the quota of 14. He explained that this arrangement would allow each teacher a little less than two periods a day for correction which occupied a great part of the teacher's time. Whilst he did not intend to relieve teachers of correction work in their out-of-school time, he considered that this time should be mainly devoted to the preparation of new work. In answer to a question, Mr. Rowell said that there were 17 Grant-in-Aid Schools, only one of which had Chinese as its medium of instruction; the rest had English. The morning periods were 40 and 35 minutes, the afternoon 30 minutes, and the weekly school hours amounted to 271. In secondary classes, there were 6 European teachers to 4 local teachers and 3 European teachers to 7 local teachers in the primary classes. 40 was the average number of pupils per class.\n\n3.\n\nIn reply to a question by Dr. Harlow, whether, by restricting the number of teachers as now proposed, the Director would not be accused of cheese-paring, Mr. Rowell said that he did not think so, as an investigation of the number of teachers employed by Grant-in-Aid Schools showed that schools did not use the full quota allowed by the Code.\n\n4.\n\nMr. Rowell explained that there was little private coaching owing principally to the high fees charged by coaches.\n\n5.\n\n1.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-603-2 Education Department- revised grant code 5-4-1948 - 6-1-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 586358, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-603-3 Education Department- revised grant code 24-1-1949 - 28-12-1949", "page_number": 2, "title": "CO129-603-3 Education Department- revised grant code 24-1-1949 - 28-12-1949", "content_text": "1.

In that case I think the action, much as I regret it, ought to be that which I proposed in the last para. but one of my minute of 12.8.48, namely reference to the ALEC Sub-Ca which was suspended when it was decided at the last meeting that the protagonists should confer & try to reach agreement.\n\nIf this procedure is agreed, it cannot be important to let the Gov. know before the Ronell commits himself further at the Board.

He admitted that both Codes dealt with vernacular schools, i.e., schools in which the Chinese language was the principal medium of instruction, but the three vernacular schools, which were under the Grant Code, had staffing and equipment comparable with those of English Grant schools. These three vernacular schools had also expatriate staff for English instruction and eventually would have parallel vernacular and English classes leading to the Local Certificate examination, whilst the vernacular schools under the Subsidy Code had no parallel classes in English.\n\n(ii) Paragraph 3 of the revised Subsidy Code would be amended as suggested by the sub-committee (paragraph 2(b) of the 4th minutes).\n\n(iii) Paragraph 12 would be revised by the addition of the words \"a part-time teacher may not in any circumstances draw a salary higher than that to which he or she would be entitled as a full-time teacher\", at the end of the paragraph (Paragraph 2(c) of the 4th Minutes).\n\n(iv) In Paragraph 20(a) \"approved\" would be inserted before \"educational purposes\" (Paragraph 2(a) of the 4th Minutes).\n\n(v) \"Higher standards\" referred to classes in the Middle School which were Junior Middle 1, 2, 3 and Senior Middle 1, 2, 3, which with Primary 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 formed a 12-years' course. \"Middle\" corresponded to \"Secondary\" (paragraph 2(c) of the 4th Minutes).\n\n(vi) The Governor added that schools with classes higher than Primary would benefit under the Subsidy Code only in exceptional cases, and then only if they had also primary classes 1 - 6.\n\n## Item 3.\n\nThe sub-committee read with great interest the Progress Report dated 6th January, 1949, by the acting Director of Education on the Singapore 10-year Plan, and satisfaction was expressed at the progress made. All concerned were to be congratulated on the way they were overcoming the delays caused by the war.\n\nPage 50\n\nPage 51", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-603-3 Education Department- revised grant code 24-1-1949 - 28-12-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 586405, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-603-3 Education Department- revised grant code 24-1-1949 - 28-12-1949", "page_number": 51, "title": "CO129-603-3 Education Department- revised grant code 24-1-1949 - 28-12-1949", "content_text": "No.20\n\n57923/4\n\n(2) on 248\n\nso 2.\n\nACEC(OT)(49)6\n\nADVISORY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION IN THE COLONIES\n\nOTHER TERRITORIES SUB-COMMITTEE\n\nPrivate-school fees in Hongkong\n\nIn connection with Paragraph 1 of the 4th Minutes of the meeting held on 7th December 1948 the following explanation has been received from Mr. Rowell:-\n\n\"In the matter of the fees in private schools and the apparent contradiction between the minutes of the meeting of 16th July, 1948 and my memorandum on the Block Grant System, the position is that private schools submit to this Department their proposed scale of fees together with an estimate of their income and expenditure. If the fees are such as to cover expenditure and allow reasonable profit then this scale of fees is published in the Government Gazette. Should the fees be of such a nature as to produce excessive profit this is pointed out to the Manager and he is urged to consider reduction. We have no actual power to prevent the Manager of a private school charging what fees he likes provided they are gazetted, but once gazetted he is not allowed to increase those fees without permission from this Department and in order to obtain that permission he must produce very good reasons for so doing.\n\nThe effect of this legislation has been to reduce to some extent the fees in those schools where they were previously unduly high since the possibility of comparison by the public of the fees charged in various schools has tended to standardise them.\n\nYou will therefore see that in the initial publication of the scale of fees in the Gazette, they can, if they insist, charge whatever amount they wish but thereafter can only raise their fees with permission.\"\n\nColonial Office,\n\n15, Victoria Street, S.W.1.\n\n25th February, 1949.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-603-3 Education Department- revised grant code 24-1-1949 - 28-12-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 589005, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-608-4 Occupation reports- Standard of education among children in post-war period 30-6-1948 - 25-8-1948", "page_number": 2, "title": "CO129-608-4 Occupation reports- Standard of education among children in post-war period 30-6-1948 - 25-8-1948", "content_text": "1948\n\n1 Hong Kong\n\nMr Roessin\n\nlaw. 441.\n\nZ\n\nuf.
