THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR CHINESE.

We are led to a consideration of the subject of a high school for the Chinese in Hongkang by the broad views enunciated by Mr. Ho Kam Toug in a communication which he has contributed to the press. Amongst every enlightened community the MANUFACTURERS. subject of education has always been held to be of very absorbing interest; and this axiom is no less true with the community of Hongkong ever since the early days of its settlement. That educational matters have received the attention of the English found- ers of the Colony will be recognised from the earliest efforts of one of our pioneers of education, Dr. Morrison, when he founded his first school for the Chinese at East Point soon after the British flag was hoisted in the Colony. Then followed a number of keen and enthusiastic educationists, both clerical and secular. Among these may be mentioned such notable figures as the late Dr. Frederick Stewart, the Rev. Dr. Chalmers, the Rt. Rev. Bishop T. Raimondi, and of the more | modein exponents of education in Hongkong may be noted the names of Dr. E. J. Eitel, Jate His Majesty's Inspector of Schools in the Colony, and Dr. G. H. Bateson Wright Each and every one of these gentlemen have contributed towards raising the standard of education so as to provide from purely ele mentary schools a system of education not only to meet the commercial needs of Hongkong and the China ports. but also to have paved the way in preparing the students attending the various schools and colleges in the Colony in order to step into the first course of secondary éducation if such were needed by them. After very many years of practical experience and careful study the Code, under what is known as the Grant in-Aid Scheme, was formulated and has been in operation, with amendments from

time to time, until the present day. This code, so far as our information goes, has giver satisfaction to principals and managers of schools as well as to masters generally. The cry and agitation for the establishment of British schcols for the children of British born parents in the Colony will be still fresh in the minds of our readers. This culminated last year in the appointment of A. S. WATSON & Co., Committee to inquire into and point out defects which existed in the educational system of the Colony, and to make practical suggestions for their amendment. The report of the Committee was issued in the form of a voluminous Blue Book, laid before the Legis. lative Council a few months since. This re port summarises practically the whole history of education in Hongkong and contains, among other matter, suggestions emanating from the British community for the establishment of a British school for children of British parentage, and also a petition" on behalf of an important and in Auential section of the Chinese community," submitted to H. E, the Governor, repre- senting, at it seemed to the petitioners, "the urgent need for a suitable English school for the education of the children, but boys and gitis, of the upper class of the Chinese resident in this Colony." This petition is signed by the following Chinese gentlemen, vis, the Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. Wei A Yuk, Messrs. Fung Wa Chun, Chau Tung Shang, Uen Lai Chun, Lo Kun T'eng, S.W. Tso and Wel On. No sooner was the sub- stance of this petition made known in the Colony than a hue and cry was raised by the Chinese community, who, as is pointed out by Mr. Ho Kom Tong, were not consulted in the matter before it was drawn up. That the report expressed a very advanced idea on the question of education we do not for a moment doubt; that the petitioners themselves should have advocated and
