The head master of the Queen's College in Hongkong, where there are hundreds of boys of different nationalities studying together, once told me that formerly at the yearly examination the prizes were nearly all won by the Chinese students, but that in later years when Eurasian boys were admitted, they beat the Chinese and all the others, and generally came out the best.

Not only in school but in business also they have turned out well.

It is well known that the richest man in Hongkong is a Eurasian.

It is said that the father of Aguinaldo, the well-known Philippine leader, was a Chinese.
