PRIZE GIVING AT PING

SHAN SCHOOL

Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga's Presentation Address

Yesterday the first prize giving ceremony of the Taat' Tak school at Ping Shan was honoured by the presence of the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga who presented a shield, the gift of Mr. Horace Kadoorie in recognition of the school's efforts to give students an introduction to the knowledge of Agriculture.

This school was started three years ago as a Higher primary school to take the place of several small schools staught by individuals.

It is an effort to educate the young not merely by re- petition of text books, but by introducing modern sub jects.

These were present among others, the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga. The District Officer, Messrs. Tang Shiu Kin, Ng Wa, J. D. Bush, H. R. Wells, and Drs. Y. S. Tsao "of the Y.M.C.A., and Arthur Woo.
