SIR FEEDERICK LUGARD AND THE

HONGKONG UNIVERSITY...

Those who visited the Victoria British School, yesterday morning, to witness the annual, distribution of prizes were Our London correspondent writes: impressed by the fluency with which the Sir Frederick Logard delivered a very scholars spoke French."

The Hon.

The school had been more like a hospital than anything else. He would see that a stronger staff was provided when the school opened. The school had made good progress and, speaking professionally he thought the singing and French were excellent."

The proceedings closed with cheers by the scholars for Mes. Severn, the Director

THE REPORT.

The Headinistress in tier annual report for 1922, said:-

In March, Mrs. Clarko went home for a much-needed holiday, and for a time Miss Newsholme acted as Handmistress. In April she handed over charge to Miss Cooper, B.A., but at the end of one month, Miss Cooper was obliged to go into hospital, and so passed over the reins of government to me. Meanwhile Mrs. Brawn and Mrs. Shaftain had both been ill, Mrs. Brawn with a broken leg, which kept her in hospital for weeks, and school was carried on under great "dif- ficulties, with this depleted staff. Fortu nately, Mrs.

Gooch had temporarily joined the staff, and was able to carry on the infant-work.

If such results can ✔ be achiev d in a university whose stu dents are permeated by the prejudices of a most exclusive people, and the tradi- tices of many centuries, surely they are capable of realization in primary and secondary schools, among primitive races who are both imitative and adaptable?
