THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MARCH, 1898.
257
In the above remarks, we have tried to make a fair criticism of the work as it was presented to us, and if we have been obliged to censure some of the work we would not have it forgotten that there is much which we have praised. In almost all classes the work of many boys was distinctly satis- factory, and we are of opinion that there has been a general improvement in most subjects during the past two years.
We strongly recommend the increased study of the English language, and, as far as possible, under English Masters. Believing that the large number of admissions during the past year has been chiefly due to an increasing desire on the part of the Chinese to receive an English education, we trust that the College will be fully able to meet this demand.
Lastly, we have to thank the Head Master and the Assistant Masters for their help during the examination.
We have the honour,
Gentlemen,
To be your obedient Servants,
R. F. COBBOLD, M.A., THOMAS W. PEARCE,
Examiners.
