supply and sewerage add much to the hygienic conditions of the town. The new harbour works are now finished, but the outer breakwater and two piers have been in use since March, 1904. The dry dock commenced operations in October, 1905, and its business continues to expand. The dock employs 56 Europeans and an average of 1,400 Chinese workmen. The apprentices' school of the Tsingtau Wharf may be regarded as a kind of Technical School.
For the European community the Government maintains a reformed modern grammar school, which is open to boys and girls alike. In addition to the State school there is the girls' boarding and day school of the Franciscan Nuns. There are also a number of village schools in which in a five-years' course of instruction the pupils can obtain an elementary knowledge of Chinese, arithmetic, physical and political geo- graphy, natural science and German. As well as in the State schools, good opportu- nity for acquiring Chinese and Occidental knowledge is offered by the educational institutions founded by the various missions. For secondary instruction in European and Chinese sciences there is the German-Chinese High School. The High School was opened on October 25th, 1901. Its aim is to give a thorough education, founded on a knowledge of German science and German culture, to its scholars so as to enable them later on to render useful service to China. The High School is divided into two grades. The upper grade is at present composed of four chief branches :
(1.) A Technical Faculty
(2.) A Jurisprudential and Political Economy Faculty
(3.) A Husbandry and Forestry Faculty
(4.) A Medical Faculty
The concourse of pupils was from the first very great; at present the High School is attended by 350 pupils, which is as many as the rooms now at its disposal will accom- modate. The new buildings, now in construction, are calculated to accommodate an attendance of 520 pupils. The teaching staff consists at present of 28 German and 9 Chinese teachers. A thoroughly equipped observatory was opened in January, 1912, through the obliging and farsighted munificence of the Union of German Navy Leagues abroad. There is one daily German newspaper published called the Tsingtauer Neueste Nachrichten:
The temperate climate and the excellent beach has successfully brought Tsingtau into prominance as a summer resort. In 1904 a splendid new hotel was put up and 500 visitors availed themselves of the excellent accommodation provided; among these 200 were English. This animated influx has been maintained, and year in and year out strangers from all parts of the Far East, even from Japan and Manila, come to the Tsingtau beach in search of recreation in the summer months
