Mr. G. 8. Foster Kemp, the headmaster, made an__ interesting address touching on the work and scope of the school, which, in part, follows:
Since last Speech Day we have lost the services of Mr. Rayn who left in February, and who now with the British forces East Africa. Mr. Rayner's place as mathematical master was difficult to fill, but we were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. A. E. 8. Thompson, who helped on three days per week from March until October, when pressure of other engagements forced him to relinquish a post he had ably filled and greatly enjoyed. In September Mr. F. Kwok Sing, an old scholar of the School,' educated partly here and partly in England, joined the staff of the Engli side. Miss Barber, of St. Mar-garer's Hall, Dublin, came to help in November, and Mr. T, G. Baillie, 8.sc., arrived from England in the same month, Mr. Kirk being transferred to the Ellis Kadoorie School in December. On the Ghinese side the death of Mr. Mow jing, a faithful ff for several yer vacancy which was subsequently filled by Mr. Zung Shien-pak, formerly Headmaster of the Shanghai Mohammedan School.
The excellent work and efficient and untiring help afforded me by the masters on both sides is worthy of the highest commendation. Both in school and out of school each has done his best, and I appreciate the stimulus of such a willing body of men very greatly.
The results of the Cambridge local examinations held in December, 1914, were very encouraging. Of the eight candidates sent in, four passed the Senior Examination, one boy gaining distinction in Chinese, and three passed the Junior Examination. I should like to say here, that of all the pupils who since 1908 have token these excellent examinations, not one has had difficulty in obtaining suitable situation, and the majority sre doing well and are earning very good salaries.
