Political Propaganda In Hongkong Schools Will Not Be Tolerated Says The Governor

-।

Non-tolerance by the Hongkong Government of political propaganda in school was stressed by His Excellency the Governor, Sir Alexander Grantham, at the opening of the new premises of the Tak Ching Middle School in Un Chau Street this morning.

"Fruitful" ECAFE Conference

In the course of his speech, His Excellency said: With the great demand for education that exists in Hongkong today, and the inadequate unscrupulous number of schools,

of persons have taken advantage the situation, and it has been found that some private, schools are le batter than "rackets," run for the personal profit of the owners. Their fees have fairly recently been lc- velled down by the Department of Budeation, which has corrected the

In a joint Interview with Dr the Hon S. N. Chou, leader

the of Hongkong delegation, he said that even though the problems which at the conference

mainly affected member countries, Hong- kong was concerned as a tranship ment centre, and would share in any benefits which resulted the discussions.

The four main problems before

the conference were:

1. Industrial, development.

2. „Food and agriculture,

3. Trade promotion.

The curriculum we have laid down for all schools in Hongkang has, as its aim, education in the broadest sense. The young mind is therefore developed naturally and healthily, that when the young- stor grows up and takes his place in the world, he is fitted to choose what political creed ho likes. With the kind of training he receives in such a school as this, I am sure he will not make a wrong choice of his political philosophy."

His Excellency also expressed his unbounded admiration for the Sisters of the Precious Blood Society, who, with no help from the Government put up the new building and equip ment at a total cost of nearly half a million dollars.
