Too much praise annet be given to this boy for the paîts he has taken to keep together a band of talented juveniles, and for bringing them up to the standard of eficiency attained.

Mr. P. da Luz said.

"The President, having carefully examined all the papers of the recent Examination, noted, with great satisfaction, the progress made by all the boys in the various classes. This progress was particularly noticeable in the oss of mathematics, a subject of the utmost importauce, being the most powerful factor in intellectual development, and the siue qua non of the would-be accountant. The President strongly adrices the boys of this Sebool to pursue with eagerness the pathway of knowledge-employing their best efforts to earish their mlada for fature usefulness--t id velop and to strengthes their intelligence by a good habit of thought, nó that, in the future which lies bafure them, they may be fitted to occupy positions of importance sad of responsibility-positions which will yield them not only material profit but social rank and honourable consideration.

the President to moreover, requested by earnestly urge the pupils of the senior class to remain in this school for at leas another year, in order to further improve their stadies beyond the limits of last torm, especially the study of English composition, a subject which, after mathematics, is of paramount importance for the boys of this city After leaving school, it in their future career.

Mr. Hanson, in opening, stated that the docensed had been employed for about twolre S. in Mesors monthe Watson and Coy's Boda Water Factory. On several occasions ho had bad trouble with some of the workman, and in Juue ho reported two men for disobeying orders, Mr. Paddlepke subsequently dismissing them. At the end of the month when they came to receive the mousy it was apparent that they doe to them. entertained animosity towards Lo Pak, Words passed between them, and on the 19th July two of the prisoners, with others, were outside the factory. A row between them and the foreman took place, but Mr. Paddapba went outside and atopped the fight, sending two of the to the Police Station. Nothing farther e happened until the morning of the 21st ultim About 10 o'clock in the morning, when the workmen were waiting to recommence work, they noticed the foreman approach from the wesŻ, Before he reached the factory he was zurround - ed by the sensed men. Lo Pak asked them what they intended to do, besanso if there were to be any fighting he would give them in obarga, Bomething wha.said about heating him but tha factory employees came to bis assistance and the others rae of.

is not enough for a boy to aim at getting a post; it is menassery that he should make up his mind to improve bis position. A man should always sudšāvour to obtain a high position, but thie cannot be seenred without competence-a qualification whłok in itself will win wuocess in any department of life. The President believes that, in Maono, a boy should learn the English language very early in Ilfo, immediately on leaving the Primary School, and almost as soon as he commences to read, write and expressing the fatal blow dealt. himself in his mother tongue. If the study of our national language claims a high place, on account of our feeling of patrio. tism and of personal dignity, the study of the English language deserves almost equal consideration, not only by reason of the ascensity under which we all lie, of ob taining a frolihood and of maintaining ourselves with dignity in this cosmopolitas region of the Far Exer, but also because it gives access to new methode of theaght. Arrangs. ments are being considered under which the future curricula of the School will fall into two divisions. There will be an Upper and a Lower Rchool; the former for advanced pupils and the latter for beginners. It is believed that these departments will yield more lasting and satis. factory results. To achieve this, however, the President and the Committee rely altogether os the continued devotion and energy of Mr. Coates, to whom I now bag to offer, in the name of the Prosicent, and of the Committee, our hearty thanks for his valued services in this School, and to assure him that we have the highest opinion of both himself and of his qualifications.

HONGKONG HOTEL COLLAPSE.

The second part of musio, besides the tune, is the time. If you say "Welcome brave north- easter," the accent falls on certain words. So it does in a tune. Tonie sol-faists writs the tune and the time at once, by putting an upright bar in front of a note that has a strong a colon before a note that has a Gocent, and weak accent. These divide space into regular intervals, in which the note letters are placed, a point giving half beats and quarters being marked by a comms. So we bars.
