11. BRITISH KOWLOON SCHOOL.-On making a further representation to the Government, Committee of the British Kowloon School were informed in July that the Government was prepared to establish a school in which a purely English education would be given, open to children of every nationality and to charge fees at the same rate as the fees paid at Queen's College.
12. SCHOLARSHIPS.-The only qualification now required to enable a boy to compete for one of the Free Government Scholarships at Queen's College is education at one of the Government District Schools. The examination was held on the 11th of February. There were eight competitors; four from Wantsai School, two from Saiyingpun and two from Wong-nai-chung, but no scholarships were awarded, as none of the boys reached the required standard.
13. STAFF. From the 21st March to the 4th of September I was acting as Registrar. General. From the 5th September to the 9th October I was absent from the Colony on vacation leave, and the Rev. T. W. PEARCE acted as Inspector of Schools.
The usual tables (Nos. I to XII) are attached.
I have the honour to be,
Sir, Your most obedient Servant,
A. W. BREWIN,
Inspector of Schools.
