Mr. W. L. Pattenden, seconding. the resolation, said: It gives me much pleasure in rising to second resolution now before the meeting. and I feel sure that I am express- ing the wishes of the members of this Chamber in thanking the Chairman, Committee and Secre- tariat for the excellent work done during the past year-a year that' has not been without its anxieties.

I do not think the import ance of this work can be too strengly emphasized. We, in Hongkong, cannot perhaps give as much material support as we should like, as after all we are a comparatively small community, but I hope that the Associated Chamber of Commerce at Home, whose interests after all are very largely bound up with China, will be made to realise the extreme importance and urgency of giving educational work in this country, not merely Hongkong, Centon and Shanghai but in all other centres where it has been carried on, often us I know personally under great disabilities, their generous sup- port
