OUR DAILY FASHION.

In the account published the other day of t■pt. Richard's re- port on the proposed sites for the now Radiva College, which is Isa ba Singapore's permanent memorial of the Centenary of the Foundation of the Settlement, appears the passage, referring to the Economic Gardens site, “A most excellent site in all ways for a University, but very wasteful for a non-residential college of small growth. Itisavary valuable, accessible and developed site, and should be dedicated only to a genuinely large and important use." The Deputy Chairman af the Improvement Trust is look- iDg; as his vocation as a town planner warrants him, far ahead. The Housing Commission, which did excellent work that is rapidly, by way of most enquiries in Singapore, being forgotten, “ ad- vised that the 58 acres of dry ground of the Economic Gardens be used for tenant co-partnership small high class houses, and that the 48 acres of low-lying land should be filled in and utilized as building sites for clerks quarters. The diversion of this large favourably situated area naturally attracts the atten tion at one who is interested in the sociological as well as the educational side of the life of the community. Captain Richards seems to have summed up im- partially the merits of the two sites and decides, as most people would, in favour of the Economic Gardens site as against Mount Rosie. But he wisely points out that the devotion of this valuable tract of land, well-situated for town developi ment, would only be justified if the College is to be a residential jone, if in short, it is to be a University, drawing its students
