Some parents are very fond of taking their boys from school to school hoping with euch change to get quicker promotions for their huys. This practice is to be de- precated, for it is neither fair to the boys themselves nor to the schools that have to train them. It is only when boys have stayed
of
In spite of the adverse condition
the finances, the school authorities are ever watchful for improvements, and, seeing that the teaching of Chinese has been a weak point not only in this, but in other schools of the Colony, the authorities have engaged an eth cient staff for that purpose. This remedies a longfelt want, for 19 has been said that to love «one's country, one must know the coun- try well-to khow its heritage. Its history. Its achievements, its hopes and its ideals. In this way i will be found that China will contribute her portion to the en- richment OF world civilisation. There will be no necessity now for Hong Kong boys to go elsewhere for their education in Chinese.
HIS OPTIMISM As an cla boy I have stened with admiration to the achieve- ments of the school in the year under review, and it is with optimism and pardonable pride that I look forward to the school's Juture. As a member of the school commistee and President of the Old Boys' Association I feel that the success of the school must depend on the unrelenting efforts of those of us who are behind the lines, as it were, and so it may not be out of place for me here to ap- peal to all old boys and colleagues of the school committee to press forward with greater diligence in helping the school to fulfil its destiny and to take its place In serving the community.

OF
and institutions, of the indefinable traditions of the school are factors not to be lightly, dismissed discounted, for they go far towards moulding a boy's life Many suc- cessful men to-day will admit that they owe their success, whether in 18.10|| commerce, science or art, to the thetr inspiring personalitles of 372.5
teachers or schools.
Through them, their natural gifts and in- $36.10 clinations were rended and. nourished and developed. For the essence of education is not mass. proddetion of sterotyped boys, but al to bring out and develop in each boy his special gifts, aptitude and inclination. Happy is the boy whose natural gifts are, thus de- veloped, and happy is the school that can develop them, and happy is the community that has such a school, which will obviate the production of so many tragic mis- Ats in society. It is this thought that makes one feel how great is the responsibility of school mas- ters and of the parents and/or guardians who have to choose the Pight type of schools for their boys. But if schools have ideals to almK at and duty to perform,,so have the community or general public. It has been said that a country has the Government which it de- of this Serves: a true variation statement would be that a com-. munity has the schools that it deserves. If the public would wish to have good schools, they must be prepared to support thêm, and so, in commenting on the school report I join with the acting headmaster in urging the public not to take the boys from school to school, nor, from a false sense of economy, begrudge the slightly. Increased costs that may be in- volved in their education.
