The proposed arrangements are that a competent headmaster will be chosen from one of the Universities in Portugal, preference to be given to a Roman Catholic priest, the other teachers to be laymen and com petent school-mistresses, Foreign languages such as English, French and German will also be taught, but teachers of these languages will ba appointed locally, an arrangement which will doubtless find favour amongst Shanghai, residents.
