CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY, DECEMBER 12ṛa, 1910.

His nour the Commissioner, SI JAMES STEWART LOCEKART, said that he felt diffident in appearing before them that day, because it was the third ocasion on which he had had the tomcrity to pome before them and try to tell them something about education. They all know the old saying that the ancients had stolen all the -best Roas Thore was very little originality in the world. Even the latest smart hat was altor edition of a former glory, the caly

it concomitant of being the sweet Fit faça onder

which was now left to imagination He had theroforo nothing origiunt to

ksoy, he hoped he might be allowed to make some re- marks on the report which Mr. Boer had just Leading Brand read. In the first place he congratulated the school on the numbers it had reached (choers). The pupils had increased from 44 lust year to 55 this year. Ho remembered that on the first accusion on which he distributed the prizes there were only a very few pupils, and that was not so many years ago. Now the number had more then quintupled (obeers). He congratulated the bays who, hud Bashed their swords in that antal agination. He hoped that their afforts Boge would be attended with the same success in fatpres

und that sictory would always be the (chaors). He believed there wegs certain diff." aulties in the way

The Oxi ef their taking Oxfordor Cambridge Local Examinations. but he doped that they would be got over, and he felt sure that the Weihai-wel boys would be a successful can in the examinations, as they had been in thuse they had pussed. He was pleased to hear of the saccess of Grimble (cheers). As a father, ho thought that Bir. Grimble had a great deal to do with that success. There was much a as heredity, and he knew the grandfather, thing father and the zon. Mr. Grimble was an excellent swimmer, cricketer and footballer, and also excelled in music. Not, unnaturally the son has followed in the paternal footsteps. They would agree with him that fathers should not be forgotten on these occasions. If s had goed forbears, the chances were that his soa would in good alee. The boys won 'd be fatkere themselves one day, and their qualities might be reproduced in their sons, They honid strive to acquire qualities which would be a credit to themselves and those who we Ma sunie after them. The Child is Father of the mau" and the qualities acquired in youth are those that wil he of imperiates throughout life (hear, boar). He was glad that the school was becoming mere al more a preparatory school which, he Thought, would tend to make it still more seen in the future. His Honour then commented as the outdoor life side of education. Ho
