JOSEPH KEMP.

The Hon. Sir Joseph Kemp. C.B.E., K.C., presented the prizes and certificates at St. Paul's College on Saturday night, when the annual report was read by the Rev. A. D. Stewart, principal. During the evening an entertain ment, sisting of Chinese music. boxing and vocal items was given by the students.

The annual report is as follows: The past year may be described as a period of re-construction after the losses of the previous year. In September 1925 we had only 283 on the register, but that number has increased until we are again bundred approaching the four mark, which we feel is as large a hold number as the school can comfortably.

The attendance throughout the year has been exceptionally good, 28 students having completed" a attendance. year's unbroken several others having failed to do so by only one day's absence.

Owing to the drop in our num- bers in 1925 our results in the Matriculation and Senior Local for the past two examinations years have not been up to our previous standard. This year we had eight entries, four passing. Sung Man-chun being awarded the coveted Distinction in English. In the Junior Local fourteen passed out of twenty-five, all but two passing in English. On December 1st the Inspector of English Schools, visited us, and he reports that he was very pleased with the work and discipline, and that the full grant is recommended.

Inevitable Changes,

There have been the usual inevitable changes during the year, and, we have had regretfully-to part with.Has and. Mrs./Bicher, whose work in the school will not soon be forgotten. Also, Mr. Ho Kalau, who as Physics master and joint sports master, was deserved-

popular. Others who left during the year were Messrs. Wong Chi-tung, U Wing-chaan and Li Chung-fong. In their places we were fortunate to secure the ser- vices of Miss Gubbins and Messrs. Yuen Wul-ping, Chung Tak-kwong and Chue Hau-cheung.

To-night we heartily welcome Sir Joseph Kemp and would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the school of offering our sin- cere congratulations on the honour recently conferred on him by His His presence Majesty the King. here is another proof of the in- terest in the College which he has shown for many years as a member of the Collège Council.

His task will not be quite so as that of his pre- arduous decessors,-as-we have practically done away with the system of awarding prizes, and are present- ing certificates instead.

Vernacular Studies.

These certificates for school work, however, are worth a good deal more than the paper on which they are written, for they re present scholarships which are awarded in each class. For some years past we have had the "Lander Scholarship, the capital sum of which was subscribed by the Old Boys in memory of the years that Bishop Lander was War- den of St. Paul's College, and this Scholarship has been divided be- tween the two candidates who secure the highest marks in five chief subjects in-the-University. Junior Local.

This Scholarship has proved of great value in assisting boys to continue their studies, and we have now extended the system through- out the school.

The vernacular studies have not been neglected, and to-night seven students will receive certificates, having passed out of the fourth

Character Building.

As in.

But it is not in scholastic success only nor on athletics that- we lay our strongest emphasis, but on character building. la my report for 1921, I said, "We feel most strongly here that knowledge, let loose without the restraint on morality and religion, constitutes One of the greatest-dangers to present day society," and I submit that the events happening around us today are a true commentary upon those words.

Hence we feel that too much emphasis cannot be laid upon such character building. as may pro duce the best citizens; character building on the lines of the most perfect life ever lived. No com- pulsion is put on anyone to study the Bible; neither promotion cor rewards are dependent upon it, yet we meet with no objection to the Indeed daily study of the Bible.

it is far otherwise, for already this enrolled year ninety-two have themselves as voluntary readers of the Scriptures out of school hours. The Old Boys.

Such study must have its outlet in practical service, if the charac- ter building is to be a real live thing. Hence the students are encouraged in every way to express their religious beliefs in service for others. During the past year the students are again. subscrib ed to support two free schools for poor children.

They have themselves taught a free night school carried on in these premises. During the sum- mer holidays they had classes fox poor children, teaching them, fo hand- addition to book-study. work and games. The older Christian boys have been going weekly to help in the Preaching Hall in the heart of the city: others have taken a share in Sun- day School and other Church activities.

The outcome of such work is that we now have "old boys" scattered over the world living their lives on these same lines of useful service for others. One has recently been working among the Chinese in New Zealand; another is in charge of a Chinese Church in Melbourne. Another is both, studying and serving in English; yet another has. just gone to do Church work in Borneo, while many others are scattered about the educational institutions of China. -

Several are preparing for the Ministry in the Theological College in Canton, and another expects to join them shortly, making the seventh from this school to offer for this work. In all these activi- ties the Staff of the College has played an important part, both by example and precept; and year by year we feel how incressing La debt the College owes to "the patient loyal efforts of the Staff in promoting all that is best for the
