Chairman's Hope for Bequest

Mr. J. E, Salmon, chairman of the scheat, moved a hearty vote of thanks to' Bir. Levy for presiding at the meeting and Mrs, Levy for Kindly distributing the awards. He referred to the great problem of the school which had seldom given them a respite from the day of its birth down to the day when it sueceeded in winning a large legacy for it, In fact, it had thrown a greater burden on their shoulders and they wore anxious to win the request which was given under cer~ tain conditions. They had time till March 9, 1929, to get control of the legacy. That day would cither be a red-letter day or a black-letter day in the history of the school. He hoped that no stone would be loft unturned to raise the balance which was by no means difficult for a community of their size. Mr. Salmon paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. O'Toole and her staff and dwelt on the efficient manner in which the school had been conductced by the latter.

The meeting marked its sense of deep appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Levy for their kind service render-Tt is an open secret Mrs. Levy are sever-their connection with China and expect to leave for England in April next. Their impending departure is thus keenly felt since the school will be deprived of valuable assets.

The gathering dispersed after the singing of "God Save the King."
