We are indicted to Mr. Fung Ping Shan for the donation of 83,000 for the purpose of establish- ing six scholarships of $30 each, which we are going to award to our students the first time this morning, and to the Bank of East Asia for being so

03 generous to give six per cent, interest for this par- ticular donation in spite of the low rate prevailing in the Colony. We ara also grateful to the Pan Hok Tun, at present represented by Mr. Li Hoi Tung and Mr. Ei Kwoon Chun, for the continuation of their scholarships. When the Govern ment has found itself obliged to raise school foes, these generous gifts are most essential to those students who are particularly in need of their help.
