It will be noticed that it is proposed to make some change is the organisation of the Committee and to his relation to the Council. This is probably the resson why such full information is accorded us just`at present, that we may know what has been done nder the old arrangement and of what the

To take up a few of the points dwelt upon, we hole first of all the retirement of Mr. A, S. Wilson from the honorary p of of Secretary to the School Committee. Mr. Wilson has served in this capacity for some time now, and his services have been highly appreciated, especially during the period of transition. That period of transition, başinning with the retirement of Mr, Lanning now sees it dosa in the appoint." ment of Mr. Billing to the substantive post of Pilncipal. This oppsimtment we are syre that all. who know Mr. Billings's interest in his boys, his keenness for the things that appeal to them, and his scholastic attainments, will most heartily endorse..

With the readjustment of relations batwaan' the Committee, and the Council we scarcely seed to deal. It is almost entirely a matter of convenience, in administration, and anything which tends to put the Councily institutions mors closely in touch with the Council' should be welcomed. The arrangement pro- posed will not add to the work of either Com. mittee of Council, and the Committes will be more in tins with other similar. Committees working-as the Council's adjutants.

There are two points, dealt with separately in these minutes, which" appears, to us to be very closely connected ; they are fees and at- tendance. We notice that a revised scale of focs, abolishing some anomalies, is to be com- piled for discussion, and we also notice that the school has never had such a roll-call as 'it has at present...

It seems to us that a school which has established itself in the esteem of the public in the way in which the Shangbai Public School has done, and which gives, as it does, an education considerably beyond that of almitar schools at home, ought to be able to charge a higher fes than it at present docs, especially in the higher forms.
