At a meeting of the executive committee of the Anglo-Chinese Educational Committee, held under the chairmanship of Mr. E. C. Pearce on Monday evening the question of publishing a handbook for the information of Chinese students proceeding to Great Britain was discussed, and it was decided to issue an edition of 2.000 copies without delay. Mr. H: B. Lobb, B.sc., an assistant master at the Public School for Chinese, was requested by the Committee to superintend the printing and pubing of the book, and it was decided to ask British and other firms to take advertising space and so help to meet the cost of publication.
The handbook, which has been carefully prepared by Miss E. G. Kemp, was to have been issued six or seven years ago. but financial and other difficulties stood in the way. Now the latest edition of the British Empire Universities' Year Book has been sent. out by Miss Kemp, and the handbook will be brought up to date and issued under the auspices of the Anglo-Chinese Educational Committee. The Rev. Dr. J. Darroch. a member of the Executive Committee, has kindly offered to translate summary of the book into Chinese, and Messrs. J. 8. 8. Cooper, Alex. Ting and G. S. Foster Kemp, members of the Committee, will also help to make the issue of the handbook possible.
Rritish and other companies desiring to take advertising space in the English edition of the handbook are asked to communicate! with any of the above members of: the Committee, or directly with the Honorary Secretary. 35, Elgin Road.
