TmE required guarantee fund has been readily subscribed, and, as will be learnt from the noric? on our front page, the necessary evening classes in which technical education is to be ai the disposal of young Shanghai are being rapidly organised. Mr. Lanning, the Heedenaster of the Public School, has kindly undertaken the work of organisation, four fully competent teachers have offered their services, it now only remains for our boys and their parents, as our corresp"ndent "Chili" recently pointed out, to take advantage of this opportunity. If the boys of Shanghai want to keep their place in the struggle for existence, and their parents must undoubtedly wish they should do so, the opportunity is vow offered them, and we do not believe that they are so blind to their own interests as to neglect the chance provided for them. The table of knowledge is spread for them; it should not be necessary to go out into the highways and hedges to compel them to come in.
