13. GovernmeNT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.-This School, the need of which, in the absence of any voluntary effort in this particular direction, I explained in my Report for the year 1888, was established by the courageous decision of His Excellency Sir W. DES VEUX. The Governor decided upon the establishment of this School in the face of influential opposition and popular prejudice, from a desire to provide the Eurasian female population of the Colony, for whose education no unsectarian provision had ever been made before, with the means of obtaining a liberal Anglo-Chinese education. It is also hoped that eventually, when the Chinese begin to appreciate the value of an Anglo-Chinese education for their daughters, this School will promote among the Chinese female population a know- ledge of the English language and social principles which will tend to diminish the gap still existing in the Colony between the education of Chinese men and women, This is, however, a matter of the future. Meanwhile the School has been commenced as an experiment, on the 1st March, 1890. It, had been prophesied by some that the School would obtain no scholars at all, but it commenced with an attendance of 27 scholars, which rose by the end of the year to 40 scholars (mostly Eurasian) in
