In his annual report for 1918, he said: "grant that advance be not merely in bricks and mortar but in increased usefulness and service." He had been, to some small degree, responsible for raising substantial funds for the various great flood reliefs in North China.

Incidentally, it may be said, with great respect, that it is almost an open secret that there are already a chosen few, whom he had somehow or other helped, inspired, encouraged and educated, to extend his sphere of usefulness and service.
The Rev. A.D. Stewart has earned great credit to himself, a high distinction to his family, and been an invaluable asset to the Church Missionary Society, under whose auspices he has been so supremely able in guiding the destiny of St. Paul's College as its Principal for nearly a quarter of a century.
He is a fluent Chinese Scholar. Besides serving on other educational and religious committees, he also serves on the local Board of Education, and has done so since 1925. For several years prior to 1920, he acted as Vicar of St. Paul's Church, Hongkong. In 1917, he was Acting Warden of St. Stephen's College. He is Assistant Chaplain of St. John's Cathedral as well as officiating Chaplain to the Forces.
He is leaving on July 16th for England to join Mrs. Stewart and their three children, and there to take up his new duties as Incumbent of Lyonsdown Church (New Barnet), the living of which has recently been vacated by his father-in-law, Dr. G. Lander, Bishop of Victoria from 1911 to 1919.
In the reference to the so-called Rangel's Labyrinth yesterday (31-8-33) mention was also made of the Central School, and it was noted that this is now Queen's College. It should be made clear, however, that the site of the original Central School was a little further north and west of the present Queen's College location, and was, in fact, on the site of the present Belilios Public School. The old chronicles mention that the Central (Government) School was founded in 1860-61; on the suggestion of the newly-formed Board of Education, as advocated by Dr. J. Legge, of the London Missionary Society, who had arrived here in the early Forties, and had become an educational leader. Three existing Government schools were amalgamated to form this Government Central School, and in 1861 premises were purchased in Gough Street and enlarged for the purpose of housing the central government educational institution. The institution became known in the Eighties as Queen's College, when the present college was erected, not very far from the old site.
The Central School existed under that name from February 1, 1862, when the Gough Street premises were opened, up to 1887, when the college premises on Hollywood Road were built. For a while the new school went by the name of Victoria College, but the designation of "Queen's" was finally adopted. The first headmaster (1862 onwards) was Dr. F. Stewart, who arrived from Scotland to take up the post, and at that time
