A Friend in Need

fare sent home {0 school, but let the Darents of these boys consider those fess fortunate who are in need of local education, Left as it is, the School will gradually drift downhill, We cannot afford to have that happen. An appeal on its behalf hod to be made and, T trust, will receive the support needed. In' England, there is outery when money is given to the Universities of great Public Schools, Just because every boy in the country does not benet. In Shanghai, we must not forget the interests of boys aWlending Council schools but the care of them Is at present as much a Councit responsibility as a British one. The Cathedral" School is all British and os such is to my mind fully deserving of a Carnation Appeal.

There is no need for people at this stage to worry about the location of the proposed new school or playing round. It will be a. simple matter Yo hold a meeting later on of those Who have subscribed to the fund, at which they can put forward their Suggestions and Tam quite sure that the Cathedral Trustees and the School Committee will as far as possible be guided by the majority opinion.
