The Rev. C. E. Darwent seconded this resolution. He had only one remark, to make and that was with reference to the educational work of the Association. The Shinese and the foreigners were on very different footings with regard to thi Foreigners who came out hero were usually picked men who had been to good schools at home and who did not require further education when they got out here. The Chinese, on the other hand, felt the want of foreign education very much and were ready to avail themselves of any o! to obtain it.
Mr. Hartley offered s dollar for s bad five dollar note mentioned la the ssu was going home shortly and would like to give st to the British Museum. He thought that one way of making the Association more popular was by showing more friendliness t those members, shipping and otherwise, who came in. There vad not, in his opinion, been nearly enough lectures and entertainments during the year.
The Chairman pointed out that the forged note was not among the asso ta as Me. Hartley had stated. He wished to correct the wrong impression caused by Mr. Hartley's remarks, It was written off the accounts.
