Speaking at the breaking-up day of the Cathedral School for Girls, Mr. W, S. King gave an account of a valuable scheme on which the Committee of the school has been work for some time.—This i briefly, to arrange matters so that a child going Home on leave with her parents may at once enter some school where she will find the same curriculum as she left in Shanghai and take up her work at the point she left in the Far East, similarly coming back to this part of the world with the same smooth ne in transfer. A tentative arrange: ment, Mr. King said, has been made with the Oxford High School on these lines, if sufficient encoura ment is forthcoming from parent The idea appears to us to have good deal in it, Many parents who cannot afford to keep their children school in England nevertheless regularly on leave and it should prove very useful to be able to give their children three or four months" experience in the atmosphere of a Home school. This should partie cularly appeal to people the Customs who may go on leave for as much as two years, Hitherto the difficulty has been to find a school where the children could fit in, for reasons of age, difference of standard or otherwise and the scheme described by Mr. King covers these well,
