"Hongkong, 20th-Joly,-1896.- Having signed the report of the Commitee appointed by His Excellency the Gaversor to enquire into and report on the best organisation for a College of Medicine for Hongkong, dated July 15th, with reservations, we have to point out that we differ from the opinions act forth in paragraphs 7, 8, and g. $7,
We are of opinion that if "The Hongkong conditions as to entrance, examinations, and College of Medicine" is to be founded that the course of study should be as far as practic able in accord with the conditions obtaining in England, otherwise the proposed Licentisteship will give a false impression of the qualifications In the course of a few years, suffer in conse.. of its holders and the credit of the College will,

quence.
adopted.
The sixth standard of the new Education Code (Hangkong, 1891) does not include in its subjects either Latin or Euclid, and is therefore below the minimum standard required by the General Council under the Medical Act of 1886.
The proposal to allow lecturers on the subjeza under examination to assist in such examination is a course not likely to commend itself generally. It is doubiful whether as a rule the facilitiam afforded to this colony with the addition of a lecturer in Austomy and Physiology are sufficient to enable students to obtain during a five years' course the standard of efficiency required by the General Council under the Medical Act of 1886. It must be borne in mind that one of the chlef tendencies of Chinese parilally trained in Western medicine is the wholesale use of
narcotica.
The title of Licentiate in Medicine and Surgery Hongkong College of Medicine, will be liable therefore in many cases to convey a false impression, and many of its holders will not be sufficiently qualified to practies medicins and surgery without supervision.
It appears desirable that two qualifications should be founded, viz, "pilve apothecaries" and Licentiates in Medicine and Surgery," the qualifications, or rather conditions for the latter, being adt lem than those required by the General Council under the Medical Act and that the proposed prospectus be referred to the Privy Council in order to ascertain whether they consider it.ufficiently comprehensive,
