+HOWEVER SINCE WE CANNOT LEARN EVERYTHING IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROWTH OF KNOWLEDGE SINCE IF WE DO WE SHALL BE OVERWHELMED BY IT AND SCHOOL LIFE WILL BECOME A BURDEN. I WOULD EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT IN HONG KONG THERE HAS BEEN A TENDENCY TO PILE ON MORE AND MORE LEARNING OF KNOWLEDGE IN JUST SUCH AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP UP WITH ITS GROWTH,+ MR. BROWN SAID.

HE STATED THAT WHAT MUST BE DONE WAS TO ANALYSE WHAT WAS TO BE LEARNT AND PICK THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WAS MOST ESSENTIAL AND USEFUL.

+HOWEVER, WHAT IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN GAINING KNOWLEDGE IS LEARNING TO FIND OUT THINGS FOR OURSELVES, HOW TO USE BOOKS HOW TO STUDY, SO THAT WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK UP WHAT WE DON'T KNOW.

+THIS WILL HELP US TO KEEP ABREAST OF CHANGE, BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE ITSELF CAN GO OUT OF DATE AND IF WE ARE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD WE MUST CONTINUE LEARNING AFTER WE LEAVE SCHOOL. WE MUST ALSO LEARN TO LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE, TO BE CURIOUS AND SO TO AVOID MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES TWICE,+ THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR SAID.
