- BOARD OF SCHOOL, TRUSTEES
OFFICE OF SECRETARY
VICTORIA, B.C.
September 5th, 1922.
The Chinese Canadian Club,
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce,
and
The Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Ass'n.,
Gentlemen:-
In reply to petition signed by the Chinese Canadian Club, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, protesting against the segregation of Chinese children in the public schools, I beg to state that the Board of School Trustees of Victoria is convinced that the best educational interests of the Chinese pupils demand that they be segregated up to the Senior Fourth grades.
A special staff of experienced teachers has been selected and the organization of classes under the principalship of Mr. Ernest Butterworth, formerly of the Boys’ Central School is well under way.
The intention is to operate two senior classes at Railway Street, three classes at King’s Road School and the remainder at Rock Bay School.
Trusting that the above arrangement will prove satisfactory to yourselves and other parents concerned, I am
Yours truly,
Secretary of the Board.
