Nevertheless, it is evident that the Aberdeen School has not yet overcome its difficulties; and its future history is altogether uncertain. In re gard to the Grant-in-aid scheme, Mr Stewart makes the following remarke:
The Grant-in-Aid Scheme has now had a three years trial, and the result is upon the whole satisfactory. With one exception both managers and masters have expressed their satisfaction with the scheme itself and with the working of it. St. Paul's College School, St. Stephen's Church Eichool at Sal Ting Pan, and the Victoris Girls' School were added to the list during the last year. Bt. Saviour's Day School was withdrawn, This makes the prosent nomber of those schools eleven, and there are fresh applica tions for the current year. Experience has shown the necessity of one or two modie fications of the original scheme. It is now evident that the values of the passes should be raised, and a proposal to that effect will soon be offered for approval. It will also be proposed to pay for attendance.
