FIVE GAMES START "D" DIVISION LEAGUE

Address On Chinese Kowloon Tong's Nine-Nil

Language

Dr. Erwin Reifler, Austrian ex pert in Chinese language and

·Professor of Chiaotong University, Shanghai, delivered an interesting address before the Hongkong Y's Men's Club at their weekly meeting at St. Francis Hotel, yesterday, on the ideas foreigners have about the Chinese language.

In the absence of Dr. Li Shu- "pul, President of the Club.. Mr. C.

P. Wong was in the chair.

tist Dr. Reifier said that hig acquaintance with the Chinese language was made at the age of 14 during a geography lesson on China in a lower middle school when the geography professor mentioned from his own experi- ence that the Chinese. possessed a language and writing which they themselves did not understand.

It was surprising that there were many foreigners even today who held the same view. Sinology was really very complicated, but those who did not know anything | about it should keep away, from

it.
