Head Master.
QUEEN'S COLLEGE,
January 14th, 1905.
SIR,-I have the honour to submit to you the following report on the work done by the Pupil Teachers since my appointment as Normal Master in March, 1904.
I have always found them, both when under instruction and when discharging their duties in connection with their various classes, thoroughly painstaking and conscientious.
For a Chinese youth fresh from one of the upper classes it must be a trying ordeal to be placed in charge of a class in which most of the boys know nothing of English, and which he is expected to teach in what is to both teacher and boys a foreign language. Still, although the natural tendency must have been to resort to their own language, I have very seldom found them do so except when it was quite unavoidable.
Since the beginning of the year two of the Pupil Teachers have, owing to vacancies, been promoted and are now serving as Assistant Masters.
Of the other six now working under me, one was appointed in January, 1903, two in March, 1904, and one as recently as May, 1904, while the sixth, who is an acting Pupil Teacher, has only been at work for three months.
There have been, in succession, five acting Pupil Teachers appointed during the year, four of whom left to take up outside positions.
Out of school, the Pupil Teachers take an interest in sport and we now boast a Preparatory School Football Club, to which quite a number of the boys subscribe.
THE HEAD MASTER.
I have, &c.,
B. TANNER,
Normal Master.
