Mrs. Symons said it is her earnest hope that with the 1971 census
figures in hand the authorities will attempt to solve the enormous puzzles of
vast numbers of unschooled men and women, boys and girls in this city.
She said that Hong Kong must study the educational systems in other
countries before evolving its own.
"The time is opportunity and the opportunity great to evolve a truly
Hong Kong type of education," she said.
DANGEROUS BUILDING
The Building Authority today declared the two storey Industrial
Building at the corner of Tong Mi Road and Nam Tau Street to be in a dangerous
condition and ordered demolition.
The pre-war building was first inspected some years ago as a matter
of routine and has been under observation since.
In spite of repair works carried out under order over the past two
years, deterioration of the reinforced concrete framing has progressed to the
point where there is a risk of local collapse.
It is considered that the amount of repair necessary under order to
put the building in a safe condition would be unreasonable, so notice of
intention to apply for a Closure Order in Kowloon District Court at 9.30 a.m.
on December 14 was posted today.
