To the Editor of the "NoatH-Civa DAILY News."
Sit,-In every Mission or other educational institute throughout the whole of Chnia, the one thing upon which parents can rely is the excel Jence of the discipline, We have known parents who are not specially interested in Christianity, but who have withdrawn their sons from Government schools and placed them in missionary institutions solely on the ground that the control is such.
the parents can enjoy peace of mind. {t is therefore very unfor-_ tunate that in such a splendid institution like the Hongkong University confidence in its discipline is being shaken, The rumours of students failing to keen hours and of tutors who attempt to enforce rules being left without adequate backing—and, it is stated, there are cases where' zealous tutors have been threatened should they persist in ing of the stables—are ing. We don't wish to raise any controversy in this matter, but as we are British we feel an in: tense interest in the Hongkong versity and would very much like to know if there is any foundation for the stories of successful resistance to the imposition of the rules, and if it is true that teachers are' so fed up with lack of proper support from. their superiors in the matter of en: foreing discipline, that they are inclined to let things rip.
