        "content_text": "# 558\n\n## 2\n\n## 3\n\nOn reading the above speech, I ventured to address you the following letter:\n\nThe Hon. F. STEWART, L.L.D., Colonial Secretary, &c.\n\nMOSBERT CHADWICK, and it having been my duty, while in the Department, Professional to make the map showing the drains of the City, a reduced copy of which is to be experience, found attached to Mr. CHADWICK's report, and again to Mr. COOPER's report, I consider myself thoroughly acquainted with the existing drains.\n\nThe existing drains are very clearly described by Mr. CHADWICK as follows:\n\nHongkong, 14th November, 1885,\n\nLetter from Mr. Leigh to the Hon. Colonial Secretary.\n\nSIR,\n\nHaving read with great interest the speech of His Excellency the Governor, in which he mentions his wish to receive any suggestions relating to the proposed scheme of drainage for this City, I beg to mention, that as a professional man of ten years' experience in this Colony, partly in the Government Service and partly in private practice, and taking a keen interest in the affairs of the Colony, I see some points in which my opinion differs from that shown forth in the plan as at present proposed.\n\nIn order to enable me to submit my ideas, I should be glad of the permission of His Excellency the Governor to be furnished with the detailed plans and estimates of the proposed scheme, on receipt of which it will be my endeavour to carefully study the same, and to the best of my ability offer such suggestions as I may think will be of use to His Excellency the Governor.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient servant,\n(Signed) R. K. Leigh,\nAssoc. Mem. Inst. C.E.\n\nTo which I had the honour to receive the following reply:\n\nNo. 1637.\n\nHONGKONG, COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, 17th November, 1888.\n\nSIR,\n\nIn reply to your letter of the 14th instant, asking to be furnished with the detailed plans and estimates in connection with the proposed system of separate main drainage, I am directed by the Governor to inform you, that the only question is as to the goodness or badness of the proposed scheme; and on this the estimates have no bearing.\n\nHis Excellency has, however, no objection to your inspecting the plans, at your convenience, in this office.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient servant,\nR. K. LEIGH, Esq.,\n(Signed) FREDERICK STEWART,\nColonial Secretary.\n\nBefore proceeding with any criticism on the proposed scheme of drainage, I wish to state, that I have not written to any paper either anonymously or otherwise on the subject, and that I consider any man who has received the new education of a Civil Engineer and who has practised his profession at home, ought to be, with the necessary local experience, perfectly competent to deal with the comparatively simple engineering question of the drainage of this City.\n\nHaving been for three years Assistant Engineer in the Surveyor General's Department (February, 1880, to October, 1882), during which time this very question of drainage came prominently forward owing to the visit of Mr. Chadwick's opinions on drains.\n\nThe public sewers appear to have been made, rather as drains to carry off storm water, than as sewers to remove from habitations the foul waters usually known as sewage. Neither their form nor their construction is that which is considered desirable for the latter purpose. They do not appear to have been made on any general plan, but rather to have been constructed from time to time as the necessity arose, and they seem to have been designed to convey the storm waters and perennial flow from the ravines above, and the surface water of the streets and houses, by the shortest and most direct line to the harbour, into which they discharge their contents through large openings in the wharf wall. The inverts of these outlets are at about the level of low water ordinary spring tides. They are not provided with tide-flaps. With few exceptions, no attempt has been made to carry out the effluent below low-water mark, nor to select positions for outfalls where a strong tidal stream would remove it. Consequently, deposit takes place at their mouths, and hence at low tide, there is a most offensive smell along the whole harbour front.\n\nI confirmed part of the above in the following terms before the late Fever Commission:\n\n\"I think the chief fault of the drainage of Hongkong is, that it has grown from time to time, without any proper system being carried out. As the sewers become a nuisance, so they were trapped, both by private individuals on a very wholesale scale, and also by the Government in the roads. This trapping to all intents and purposes unventilated the sewers, and increased the nuisance; as to the sewers themselves, some of them - many of the more modern ones - are of a very good section, some of the older ones are not.\"\n\nHaving thus touched upon the present drainage of the City, I will now proceed to describe Mr. CHADWICK's proposal.\n\n## Chadwick's proposals\n\nHe proposes to utilize the present drains for the conveyance of sewage and rainfall as at present, modifying and improving their section, &c., and constructing an intercepting sewer on the Praya Wall, of sufficient capacity to carry off the sewage and a small amount of rainfall, carrying this intercepting sewer to an outfall in the Sulphur Channel, at which point he would require to pump the sewage. Whenever there was a heavy rainfall, as is usual during the rainy season, a free discharge is allowed direct into the harbour through the present outlets.\n\nHis report states as follows:\n\n\"I hope to show that the existing sewers of Victoria may be improved so as to fit them for the conveyance of sewage, besides serving to carry the storm water to the harbour, as they do at present, and further, that the sewage, during dry weather, may be diverted from their lower extremities, and carried to some distant outfall, where it will be innocuous.\"\n\nThis I propose to call the **Combined System**.\n\n## Chadwick's System and Cooper's Scheme\n\nThe proposed scheme of drainage, as described in the report under consideration, is diametrically opposed to that of Mr. CHADWICK, in that it separates the sewage from the rainfall over the entire area of the City in the most minute way, leaving the present drains for the conveyance of rainfall only, and laying down a complete new system of pipe sewers for the conveyance of sewage leading to four main outfalls. Those of Districts Nos. 1 and 2 being at Belchers Point, No. 3 at Possession Point, and No. 4 at Bowrington Canal, this last outfall is recommended to be continued to North Point and there pumped.\n\nThis is strictly what is known as the **Separate System**.\n\n## Suggested System for Chinese districts\n\nThe method of drainage, which I propose, may be generally described as adopting for the strictly Chinese portions of the City Mr. CHADWICK'S Combined recommendation to use the present drains for the conveyance of sewage and rainfall...\n\nPage 570\nPage 571",

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nAn interview took place between Mr. Straight of the American group and Tsai Tse, the Chinese Minister of Finance, yesterday, and discussed the whole question with him. He told him quite plainly that America was not prepared to \"dump down 50,000,000 dollars in China to be spent exactly as the Chinese pleased.\" It was in the interests of all countries, as well as in those of China herself, that her finances should be put on a proper footing. Tsai Tse, who was apparently prompted by Dr. Chen, said he thought the appointment of an American adviser would give rise to international jealousy, and added that he had given an assurance to the Senate that no such appointment would be made. An adviser might be attached to the Taching Bank, but as he would apparently be subordinate to Dr. Chen, it is out of the question that this proposal can be seriously entertained. It should be mentioned that Dr. Chen is the author of the recent proposals for currency reform, and he is evidently not anxious to have any foreigner associated with him on equal terms in carrying through these measures. The question has therefore reached a temporary deadlock, although Dr. Calhoun does not despair of arriving at an eventual solution. He foresees, however, that the negotiations are likely to be protracted, and that there will be no little difficulty in inducing the Chinese to accept an adviser invested with the necessary authority to superintend the expenditure.\n\nApart from the unwillingness of the Chinese to come to terms, it appears that the American group is encountering difficulties similar to those experienced by the British and Chinese Corporation in the past. A rival group, Speyer and Co., represented by a Mr. Bash, is making offers to the Chinese on easy terms, not with a view to genuine business, but with the object of forcing the official group to give Speyer and Co. participation.\n\nI had the honour of informing you briefly in my telegram No. 201 to-day of the deadlock reached in the negotiations.\n\nI should add that Mr. Straight has expressed the wish that the enclosed memorandum of the meeting should be treated as entirely informal, as he did not intend that his statements should be recorded as official.\n\nI have, &c.\n**J. N. JORDAN**\n\n## 3\n\nWith regard to the proposed currency loan, the chief opposition encountered by Mr. Straight from the Chinese was upon the questions of control of expenditure and joint signature. The Chinese feared any form of international control which might result in a state of financial tutelage similar to Egypt. Hence their objection to joint signature, since this might imply that each signatory would have the right to nominate a financial adviser. The Chinese, Mr. Straight said, were prepared to engage an American adviser, but objected to the powers conferred upon him by the agreement drafted in New York, which gave him full powers of veto in every detail of expenditure. Mr. Straight had proposed to the Chinese that, until the question of these advisory powers was settled, that of joint signature should be left in abeyance; and, in order to meet Chinese objections on all points, he had submitted to his group the following alternative proposals, which he had at the same time tentatively discussed with the Chinese representative:-\n\n1. A provisional agreement for $50,000,000 gold to be signed forthwith between the American group and the Chinese, providing that within the next twelve months a definite scheme of currency reorganisation should be drawn up by the Chinese Government to the satisfaction of the American group, with the assistance of an American adviser to be immediately appointed.\n2. For immediate Manchurian requirements, the American group to make advances to the Chinese Government against 6 per cent. Treasury bills to the extent of $5,000,000 gold, the same to be repaid from the proceeds of the loan when issued, or otherwise, by the Chinese Government, it being stipulated that the objects on which the said advances are to be expended should not prejudice the ultimate issue of the loan bonds.\n3. A currency scheme having been drawn up to the satisfaction of the American group, it will be submitted to the other groups, who will be invited to participation and joint signature of a supplementary agreement, which will be in the nature of a final agreement embodying the necessary conditions of control and participation.\n\nMr. Straight is awaiting the reply of his group to these proposals, and on receipt of same he will communicate it to the other representatives, who will be invited to discuss conditions at further meetings to be called by Mr. Hillier.\n\nPage 267\n\n### Enclosure in No. 1\n\n#### Minutes of Meeting held at the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Peking, December 13, 1910\n\nPresent: Messrs. Hillier, Casenave, Saint Pierre, Mavers, Cordes, and Straight.\n\nMR. HILLIER informed Mr. Straight of the origin and progress of the Kansu Railway loan negotiations, of the request of the Viceroy for a draft preliminary agreement, and of the circumstances under which he consulted Messrs. Cordes and Saint Pierre, of their reference to the European groups of the question whether, under the terms of the inter-group agreement and its accompanying reservations, they were called upon to consult with the American group, and of the reply now received from the European groups, copy of which was handed to Mr. Straight.\n\nThe draft preliminary agreement for the Kansu Railway loan was then handed to Mr. Straight to read, with the explanation that it was designed more to show the Viceroy the general lines upon which such an agreement would be drawn up, than to present him with a definite proposal. Mr. Straight was asked if he wished the name of the American group to appear in the agreement as participants. He replied that he would first like to submit the proposal to his New York group; but, on being told that time would not allow this to be done, he requested that the American name might be inserted in the draft.\n\nMr. Straight then said he wished to take the opportunity of informing the other representatives of the progress of his own negotiations with the Chinese.\n\nAs regards the Chinchou-Aigun Railway, no doubt the other representatives would be interested to have copies of the agreement, and these would be prepared and handed to them. He had the Viceroy's authority to admit the participation of the other groups. The alternative Russian proposals for a Chinchou-Hailar and Harbin-Aigun Railway he did not consider were to be taken seriously, and this impression was borne out by recent conversation with the Russian Minister here. Lord ffrench was leaving on the 19th instant for Europe in order to discuss alterations in the route which might satisfy Russian objections.",

The Chinese are very fond of their children and the appalling mortality from tuberculosis must be ascribed to ignorance and not to perversity.\n\nA dispersal of the gloom of ignorance on these matters by the light of knowledge furnishes the means of solving this problem; repressive measures would be of no avail. As the wise old schoolmaster, a pioneer of gentler methods in the days when birching was the rule, used to put it, \"There are two ways of imparting knowledge: by the head and by the tail; I prefer the former.\" So, in this case, enlightenment is not only better than repression, but is really the only method likely to be crowned with any success.\n\n## REFERENCES\n\n| Author | Reference |\n| --- | --- |\n| Adami, J.G. | Principles of Pathology. 1909.

I have one Eurasian assistant who gets £211 (eleven pounds) a month. The Chinese Dept. has a professor and two full-time assistants, though their salaries are lower, but like ours are on the usual competitive and economic basis.\n\nI have submitted my timetable to the Assoc. of University Teachers for their comment. I cover three subjects: History of Education and Philosophy of Education for final-year students, men and women of 24-5 years of age who read widely, five lectures per week together with essay marking; Psychology for all students in the Arts Faculty who wish to take the subject - 3 lectures a week; supervision of practical teaching, which is given over largely to my assistant who goes round the schools. I criticise and give demonstration lessons on Thursday afternoons, and of course, I am in my office from 9:20 to 1 p.m. when not lecturing, for interviews, discussion, etc.\n\nI also run a night school (free) which I have persuaded my students to run for the past six years, the Education Society, Education Journal, and meetings connected with University activities. I am President of the Hong Kong Teachers Assoc. and have been since its foundation 3 years ago. I published two books last year, have written a paper for a Conference in Tokyo this year, and so on.\n\nTo say that or to suggest that my work is inadequate for the University is, to my mind, a gross libel, but it is undoubtedly due to the enmity I have created by my mild assertion of University principles and ideals. It is particularly galling too, as I have done more in the last two years to put the name of this University on the map than other members of the staff. I mean academically. \n\n## Page 74",
