Mr. Rendall, in reply to his Worship, said that he had nothing to say except that he had a com- plete answer to the summonses and that only one of the girls had been in any way implicated in the affair altho he did not say that she struck any blow.

His Worship remarked that he was glad the summonses were be- ing withdrawn because he thought that the parties were hardly the sort of people who wished to be found figuring in a Police Court. The summonses were allowed to be withdrawn.

VALUABLE WORK OF HK. UNIVERSITY.

The current issue of the Educa- tion Journal of the local University further tangible evidence of that Institution's Increasing activity. which is to its sown advantage, as well as to that of the Colony as a whole. The Education Society, of which this Journal is the official organ, is very much alive and doing good work for local students and teachors in various branches of their work.

In this number, the fourth, the contents are numerous and varied and of a high standard of excellenco for journals of this kind. As is to be expected of a university situated Chinese on the confines of China, chief placa is given to studies on language and culture. We would specially commend Mr.. Fenwick's brief but carefully written article Written "The Chinese

Victoria Zoubkoff, the princess who married a Russian adventurer, was born in April, 1880. Her father was the then Prussian Crown Prince, later the German Emperor Frederick III and

her mother Princess Victoria daughter of Queen Victoria of England. In the '50's her engagement to Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, one of the Brittenberg princes, was looked at askance by Blamarek who thought stich warringe would mean trouble with Issia. The Chancellor strongly opposed it and it was broken off in 1857, but after the death pl Katser Wilhele I the Empress Frederick attempted to renew The Crown Prince, later Wilhelin 11 intervened, however, in support of Bismarck with the result that the project was abandoned.

case.

Mr. Mak Süi-pat's "Notes on [English] Pronunciation" are ex- tremely good and quite comprehen- sive. He might with advantage," however, have made more of the f and v, s and ah, sounds and the dif-

ficulties of such combinations as with, division, sir, and similar com men words. It seems to us that Koed speaking must be built on care. ful imitation, with the sentence as the unit of speech and the activity dissociated from symbols of any kind. Reading as such is begun much too soon.
