RECOMMENDATIONS.
STAYS-QUALIFICATIONS,—MATIO OF ENGLISH AND CHINESE MASTERS· TO PUPILS, AND TO ONE ANOTHER. ENGLISH MISTRESSES, 1-All Chinese masters in Government and Grant Schools, except such as may be specially exempted upon such grounds as long experience or providne training, should go through a three years' course of training at the Technical Istituto
II.Facilities should be granted in the Nor mal Class at Queen's College for the training of papil teachers from Graut Schools.
Note-Papil teachers from the three Upper Grade District Schools already attend this Class. It is not intended by this recom mendation to discourage such schools as may prefer to do so from training their own pupil teachers.
IILCertificated English mistresses may be #abstituted for Chinese Masters in the Lower Classes of Upper Grade Schools, and in Lower Grade Schools.
IV-Forty should be considered the maximum number of pupils which can be taught officiantly by one English or Chinese master.
V.Lover Grade Schools for Chinese and the Lower Classes of Upper Grade Schools for Chinees should be considered to be adequately staffed, if, in addition to being under denante European supervision, for every Division of not more than forty pupils there is one second-year Chinese maator. Provided that if one third Fear Chinese master or a certificated English mistress be substituted for one second-year Chinese maater, then one first-year Chinone master may be substiinted for another second- year Chinese master,.
Note-Thus for any three Divisions in a Lower Grade School or in the Lower Class of an Upper Grade School, there would be the following alternatives of Btal:-
(a) Three second-year masters;
b) 'One third-year master, or certificated
English mistress;
One second-year master; One first-year waster. VI-The Romove and Upper Classes of a Bohool for Chinese should be considered ado quately staffed, if the proportion of English to Chinese masters is not less than two to thros,

PROPOSALS PROPOSED THESE
NEW BOROOLS, VIII The reduction in the numbers at Queen's College and the District Sobools caused by the limitation of numbers in a Division to forty, which is estimated at 304, should be made up by the provision by Government of three Lower Grade Schools for Chinese, situated at Taipingsban, Wantai and Yaumati, respectively. Each school should provide accommodation for a maximum enrshment of 120.
Note-Ia spita of the reduction in the numbers at Queen's College and the District Schools, the recent increase of foos at these schools will, it. I estimated, provide a surplus revente over that collected in 1909 of $4,112. The total net cost of three pro posed new schools is estimated at $1,710 annually, exclusive of the cost of their supervision by the Education Department, and of capital charges.
CHANGES IN ASSESSING THE GRANIS AT GRANT BCHOOLS. IX-Capitation Grants of $24, $22 or 820 should be given for Upper and Remove Classes, and of $15, 814, or 813 for Lower Classes. The
move and Upper Classes pupils over twenty-ons years of age should not be permitted to remain in attendance without the special sanotion of the Directer of Education.
XVI-The following scholarships should be giren annually it

We have lore and in what follows of the same writer's exposition what certainly looks like suffolent explanation of the Japanese national spirit, of its intense sense of discipline, of its unconquerable devotion and self-sacrifics at the call of duty. Bat the Samurai were a class apart and Bushido as the ethical code of a caste, not of the nation at large. It is trus that many of its principles are now apparently mubedded in the ethical structure of ite average Japanese citizen and of every Japanese soller. But whether these principles are derived directly from the Bushido of the Samurai or from other sources not yet fully explored is a question about which there is considerable diference of opinion among those who are entitled to speak with authority.
