In conclusion; Mr. Johnstone impressed upon the staff the necessity of learning Chinese, for in dealing with the Chinose and matters Chinese they are brought prore closely in touch with the natives of this country than most of their Seniors had they will have very much greater success if they nequire knowledge, of the language. In this connection, he con gratulated Mr. Laurence who, be heard, had just passed his final examination in Chinese with honours.
