Acting Governor At King’s College Speech Day

“IT IS WITH GREAT pleasure that I can announce that we now have another scholarship in the school. This is due to the generosity of Mr. Li Po-chun, who has provided funds for one scholarship in each class,” said Mr. H.G.Wallington, M.A., headmaster, at the annual speech day and prize giving of King’s College.

The prizes were distributed by His Excellency the Acting Governor, Lieut.-Gen. E.F.Norton. With him on the official platform were Mr. Wallington, Mr. C.G.Sollis, Director of Education; Mr. Alfred Morris; Mr. G.P.de Martin; Mr. F.J.de Rome; Captain S.H. Batty-Smith, A.D.C., and Mr. G.F.Reiss, Second Master.
Presenting his annual report, Mr. Wallington thanked His Excellency for the honour he had bestowed upon the school. “I am sure that everyone fully appreciates the fact that in times like the present you are one of the busiest men in the Colony and that you have this morning given up valuable time shows your keen interest in the education of the Colony.
“The school re-opened with a maximum enrolment of 858 and throughout the year the percentage attendance was 96 per cent. This I consider to be extremely good in view of a certain amount of evacuation to Shanghai and Macao that took place after the Chinese New Year holidays.
“It was in September that Class 4 was almost entirely removed from the district schools and concentrated in King’s and Queen’s Colleges, and as a result I had five divisions of Class 4 in this school.
“The Matriculation Examination was held during the first week in June 1940. This was earlier than in previous years. The school re-opened one week late and the fact that the Matriculation examination was put forward made a very short year. Forty-eight boys entered for Matriculation, of whom 31 passed obtaining 8 distinctions. Of the 31 who passed, 5 were boys from Class 2 who entered as private students. This was unknown to me until the examination took place and although I am pleased that they did pass I do not consider it a good thing.
“For one thing, boys who pass in this way are usually too young to enter the University and have to waste a year before entering. Also, usually, they leave thus depriving the school of some of its best students one year early. If the entry of students from a non-matriculation class is permitted I can see no reason why, in future years, boys from Classes 3 and 4 should not try their luck provided they can get someone outside the school to sign the entrance forms.”

Governor’s Speech
His Excellency, replying, said: First let me begin by saying that I consider the report we have just heard to be a very satisfactory one.
Mr. Wallington has held the office of Principal for under two years and during the last year, owing to war conditions, he has had considerable difficulties to overcome. Several reasons contribute to make me believe that he has every reason to be pleased with the success of his administration during a difficult period.
First the examination results are above the average and are distinctly creditable. We may take it that the primary object of schools is to teach and the most immediate and obvious test of the standard of teaching of a school is found in the results of open examinations. Here then I think it is safe to say that all is well with the School.
Second the School has put up a good record at games – a better record than for some years, and here the general upward trend of the standard in which they are competing must not be forgotten. This cult of games and healthy open-air exercises is a big factor in young China to-day and one which is conspicuously in evidence in Hong Kong.

Admirable Spirit
Third I am struck with the admirable spirit which must actuate the seniors who have devoted so much time out of their well-earned holidays to the voluntary instruction of their poorer compatriots. The performance of boys in Classes 1 and 11 in this direction during last summer holidays was a really fine bit of work, and I should like to congratulate the boys concerned, who spontaneously organised and carried it out.
Here then are the grounds for my satisfaction with the year’s work of the School. The inference is that the School has made good mentally, physically and morally, and there can be very little wrong with it if these three aspects of its life are so flourishing.
In congratulating Mr. Wallington on these results I do not forget the share of the credit which is due to his staff. They have achieved what we should all hope to do in war, when a special extra effort is required from all of us; they have carried out their own task most satisfactorily and in addition have done their duty in shouldering their share of the Volunteer activities for the defence of the Colony in an emergency.

Scout Troop
I must refer to one point in Mr. Wallington’s report, to wit, the Scout Troop. Should an emergency occur the Boy Scout organisation is going to have an outstanding opportunity of playing its part in the very best type of Scout work for the good of the community. It would be a pity if King’s College, which has showed already so excellent a spirit in voluntary work, should not play its full part here; if it is to do so it will be necessary to expand the present strength of its Scout Troop and for this purpose it seems necessary to organise a supply of more Scouters to train it.
Now I want to express my great appreciation of the generosity of Mr. Li Po-chun, who as you have heard, has provided no less than ten new scholarships to the School. This is indeed a wise and public-spirited act of generosity, and one of which the donor may well be proud.
Finally I will conclude this brief address with an item which seldom fails to go with a swing in any school in any part of the world, and that is to request Mr. Wallington to grant the School a holiday to celebrate this occasion as a mark of my satisfaction of the excellent year’s work by the whole team, Principal, staff and boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
