6. It gives me pleasure to find myself able to report a considerable improvment in the following important English subjects-Composition, Geography, History, Dictation, Reading, Conversation and Translations from and into Chinese. The Composition exercises, especially in all sections of Class IV are the best I ever remember correcting. Map-drawing seems to have been neglected in all sections of Classes II and III, but Geography throughout the College was excellently taught, and the few searching questions outside the text-books were well answered. Mathematics with the exception of Algebra continue poor, As there are several new subjects requiring more detailed report, I cannot deal further with the usual subjects of instruction, beyond referring to a very interesting report made by the Second Master, Mr A. J. MAY, after correcting the Translation papers from English into Chinese. He considers the unseen piece well attempted in all five classes, but awards the palm of excellence to Class II, with Class I next. The latter class was puzzled with the expression "nations are all arming to the teeth and misled by the occurrence of the word "teeth employed as an equivalent a classical phrase "the lips having been lost the teeth grow cold", i.e., it will be our turn next.

7. In congratulating the Masters on a successful issue, I should be failing in my duty, if I did not draw attention to the excellent manner in which the Masters of III C, IV C, V C, and VIC have worked up backward boys so that their results compare favourably with those of the A sections of the same classes. Of 72 boys in Class II B & C last March only 25-and these naturally not the best-remained to be examined in II B. The Master of this section has wrought wonders with very indifferent material. What he can do with apt pupils is exemplified in II A where he took Mensuration and both Translations.
8. Of the five Pupil Teachers examined twelve months ago, two are now Ex Pupil Teachers and the other three have left. The Normal Master, Mr. B. TANNER, in spite of raw material in his staff, has maintained the excellent reputation of the Preparatory School. Geography was examined as a separate subject in Class VII with great success.
9. Though there is as yet no perceptible improvement in the attainments of Chinese boys in their own language on admission to this College, the larger proportion of boys examined in the top standard-Class V-109 instead of 57, is evidence of good steady work done by the five Masters. Only one boy in English Class IV is debarred from promotion to the Upper School through failing to pass in Vernacular Class II, a disqualification required by the Governing Body.
