K seems that these examinations are to be held during the month of July, and the real work of study is to commence during the second half of the current year. The scheme certainly looks promising. enough, but, as we hinted above, in China there have been lately so many schemes, which appear so attractive on paper and have come to an abortive birth, that even those who are enthusiastic in their support of the Chinese are constrained to wait awhile before they regard as done what is promised, or attempted that which is dreamed about,

The Housing Problem. The view of the Hongkong landlord presented in the con- tributed article published in' another column, wherein he is represented as filling a role akin to the "Get-rich quick-Walling- ford" ie one which is widely adopted in the Colony, but, as we have bad occasion to point out before, the high rents prevailing in Hongkong do not necessarily mean that all landlords are making enormous profits. The man who bought house property ten or fifteen years ago, and still holds it, is unquestionably profit- ing enormonely by present day rentale; while those who have taken advantage of the steady rise in the value of property in recent years owing to the pressure of a growing popalstion. apon available accommodation have undoubtedly realised hand- some profits. The higher the price a man pays for house property, the higher, of course, must be the rentals to make the.. investment remunerative. It is a well-known fact that during the past few years a very large amount of house property in the

Advertise! Now that the House of Com- *** mona bas endorsed the value of advertising and, by 185 to 28 Votes, passed the second reading of a bill to induce tourists to pasa their holidays in the United Kingdom instead of on the Cön-- tinent, Hongkong might, he hae frequently been suggested, fall. into line and set about advertie-. ing the attractions of the Colony as a resort for health and recrea- tion and the enjoyment of unexcelled scenery." The Home- Bill permits every seaside town to spend the proceeda of a penny rate on advertising and its object: is to check the flɔn, across the Channel and to prevent huge soms going throud. There are eceptice who donht the use of advertising in any form and who regard money spent in advertie ing as so much money wasted."
