DR. R. H. KOTEWALL'S' TRIBUTE TO PIONEER WORK IN PHYSICAL CULTURE AND MUSIC.

YESTERDAY'S CATHEDRAL SERVICE..

The great place which the Diocesan Boys' School has made for itself in the life of the Colony was shown by the support accorded to the celebrations of the sixtieth anniversary of its founda- tion."

H.E. the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi, R.C.M.G.) addressed the gathering held on Satur-, day at the school premises, and expressed the Government's tribute to what has been done by the institution to further education in the Colony among all classes.

"A distinguished old boy, the Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotowall, C.M.G., made special mention of the school's pioneer work in sport and also in the teaching of singing. The compulsory study of Chinese for all pupils was very warmly praised. "

All the speakers paid graceful tributes to the Headmaster (the Rev. W. T. Featherstone) and his staf, and yesterday Mr. Featherstone preached at St. John's Cathedral an eloquent er- mon on the schools rims and achievements. The scholars attended the service and their fine sing.. ing made a deep impression on the rest of the congregations.

Mr. W. L. Pattenden, the oldest member in Hong Kong of the School Committee, who presided, said

Your Excelleney, Ladies and Gen- tlemen. We are met together to- day to celebrate the sixtieth anniver sary of the Diocesan Boys' School and Orphanage and on behalf of the Committee, the beadmaster, the staff, and the boys, I wish to thank Your Excellency and Lady Clementi for honouring this commemoration with your présence.

It was, he said, appropriate that this services should be held in the Cathedral, for the vile of the first Bishop of the Diocese, Mrs. Smith, had founded the Diocesan Girls School in 1800. She had worshipped in that Cathedral "as had Bishop Randolph, who refounded the School in 1860, for boys as well as girls. In those days, the boys and girls bad regularly attended morning and even ing services at the Cathedral, and in 1960 the objects of the institu- tion were stated to be to instruct children in the Christian faith ac cording to the Church of England.

They are the first Chinese gentle- men to serve on the Committee and with, the large number of Chinese boys we have now in the school, we feel their advice will be of great value to us in some of the problems that arise.

It is, perhaps, worthy of note, to show the fine spirit prevailing in the school, that it is not our custom to give prizes. Our boys work for wärk's sake, and the fine record of the school, I feel, tells its own tale in this respect, and, furthermore, is an evidence of the great value of the Diocesan Boys' School in the educational work of the Colony.
