After prayers, mark reading and prize-giving, Mr. P. W. Massey, Chairman of the Committee of Management, addressed the parents and Children. He expressed his pleasure at the good work done by the School. It had shown.a particularly good all-round record of many-sided achievement—in scholarship, art, handwork, singing and elocution.
In particular he noticed that all four candidates entered for the school certificate examination last December passed; pupils from the school ad won all the three scholarships available to girls in the recent St. George's Scholarship examination, It had won the Inter-Schools Certificate offered by the Shanghai Horticultural lery.
The school had made a fine showing with "Iolanthe," which, he learned, had resulted in the sending of $6,000 fo the Central British War Fund; while the day before he had been most favourably impressed with the standard of the handwork and drawing he had seen and with the elocution recital.
Regarding the last, he stressed the importance of learning and practise ing purity of speech and clarity of diction, particularly in Shanghai, where so màny languages and dia-leets were heard all, the time.
