Sin—It appears to me that British children in Shanghat are not being associated with a pennament scheme to recall the great occasion, prompts. me to put forward this scheme, which already has found great favour in quarters where it has been discussed.
It is admitted that the Cathedral [Schoot for Boys is in urgent need of playing fidds: that the playing. field Is to the average British boy the cradle for future leadership.
So could not a fund be opened by the British community to provide this urgent want?" I. suggest the ground be called the "King George {Vi Coronation Memorial Ground."
'That each individual person or firm that subscribes $100 or more have their name engraved on a tablet suitably sarded and hung in the pavilion. 'A scheme like this would. probably' help the long-vexed question of the removal of the Cathedral School present site to a more suitable location If we cannot remove the School, at least forbid that the present evidence of lack of planning for playing fields" be allowed to continue. would be substantial proof of the British community showing their loyalty to Their Majesties, and creditable to us, as elders, in regard to our youngsters' health and happiness.
The strength of a nation is to be found in its children: attend to it, ing opportunities others have. fie) shanghai, Mar. 16.
