THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15тп FEBRUARY, 1873.
16. If a new building and additional masters were obtained, the Central School might be made supply all the educational wants of the Colony. That the Chinese alone are not the only persons need such a school is yearly becoming more and more evident. Last year, there were no fewer SS boys of other nationalities at the school, and that number might be considerably increased. As long as these boys formed only a mere fraction in each of the classes, their presence interfered but ittle with the ordinary routine of the school; but now that their importance is increasing with their umbers, and our duty to them is as imperative as that to the Chinese, another arrangement of asses is absolutely necessary to secure to them the education which they require. As, however, this subject which was relegated to a committee appointed for the purpose on behalf of the com- unity, it would be trenching on their duties to discuss this subject further. Perhaps this reference to it will accelerate their final decision.
The Honourable CECIL C. SMITH,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
FREDERICK STEWART, Inspector of Government Schools.
Acting Colonial Secretary,
HONGKONG.

NOTE--Item 2 should perhaps be two dollars less, and item 3 one dollar more, because part of the Salary of the Head Master of the Central School,
who is also Inspector of Schools, should be charged against the Village Schools.
