This was done with great neclama tion.

Mr. de Rome's Reply

Western education for ChinesO was a comparatively new thing in those clays. It was a glorious opportunity which attracted old as well as young; and nobody was ashamed to begin at the beginning. In those days men of over twenty years of age were whifing to enter the lowest classes in the School. They were real lovers of learning. In that first year class at Queen's it was a common sight to see a young man of 25 sitting in the sarse class-room and rubbing should- ers with a buy like me who was not yet 10 years old.

On Teaching Staff

My claim to speak about Queen's College is further supported by the fact tmt fur a year or so I was. Ono of its teaching staff. May I claim to have given something to an alma nister from which I received no much? Some 35 years ago I wra nthematical master of the upper school consisting of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd classes. Many of my pupils wore older, and, as events have transpired, have turned out to be more dia. tinguished than myself. This is what teachers have to expect. If they teach well, they teach their pupils to be cleverer than themselves. (Laugh- ter),

Woe to the teacher who loses his teniper. It is never forgotten. Only the other day one of my pupils who is now Com- pradore of the Hongkong and Shang- hai Bank complained to me that I had ↑ once threatened to report him to the Headmaster, Anyhow I must have succeeded it teaching him мото mathematics; or how could he deal with the abstruse and urgent calcu- Intions of his present profession?

Indeed, when I look round at some of the old boys of my mathematics class, I begin to think that I may have been a very good teacher. Because another to whom I taught mathematics is.

Different Angien

Among other pupils of mine, if I' remember correctly, are Mr. Tao Ching-tong, senior Chinese master of this College and Mr. H. K. Hung a member of the well-known `firm "of Messra. Deacons, Solicitors. In those day I taught Mr. Hung how to look at different angles In Geometry; now. a-days, sometimen tries to teach me how to look at different angles in Law. (Laughter).
