The founda tion stone of St. Joseph's College was formally laid by Sir John Pope Hennessy on Thursday, the 3rd November, 1881, in the presence of a large number of spectators. On that occasion His Excellency made the following general observations on the question of educa- tion in Hongkong, which are peculiarly apposite at the present moment. Requested by Father Burghignoli, the pro-vicar-Apostolic, to lay the foundation stone His Excellency said Ladies and gentlemen, the especial interest which the Government has in the proceedings of to-day consists in the fact that this is what is called that grant-in-nid school, that is, it is a school towards the support of which the Government gives a grant. When I came to the Colony in ter there were in the Colony a certain number of grant-in-aid schools, Last year the number of such schools was double that which I found here in and the number of pupils had also doubled. How is that to be accounted for? It

When 1 arrived here, I found the school referred to by Father Burghignoli in existence, the predecessor of this school, but though that school bad at that time about 200 boys in attendance, the sons of European re- sidents in the Colony the sons of ratepayers of the Colony, nevertheless, the school was receive ing no grant-in-aid. I also found that schools of other denominations were similarly situated. It was represented to me by Pastor Klitzke and the Rev. Mr. Louis, of the Berlin Mission, thattheir schools were receiving no Government aid. The Late Colonial Chaplain, Mr. Kidd, also repre-
