KOWLOON JUNIOR

SCHOOL

Mrs. G. R. Sayer Gives Away The Prizes

Speaking at the annual prize distribution of the Kowloon Junior School yesterday, Mr. A, 0, Brawn Inspector of English Schools made reference to the now Central British School, which he said would be one of the finest schools in the Far East.

This would be completed in a year's time, and the children who now have graduated from the Junior to the Senior School, were extremely lucky to go to so fine a school as the Central Bri- tish would be a year hence.

If some fairy godmother were, to wave a wand at him, he would ask to be made twenty years younger so that he could be headmaster of this school, and not a "miserable Inspector of Schools" (Laughter).
