OUR WATER SUPPLY. To the Editor of the "CHINA MAIL.” July 10, 1878, Sin, I have hard a good deal of talk lately about a new conduita work which, on referring to the dictionary, I find has some reference to the conducting of water from one place to another; in this case faner from Pokfoolum to the houses in this Colony. Many inches of rain have fallen during the last few weeks, and the reservoir at Pokfoolum is said to be fairly well filled. How is it then that we house- keepers, with large families, big baths, and bulky well-used washing-tubs, are con stantly deprived of water? We always had the impression, seemingly a wrong one, that water was turned on overy morning, that we might "wash and be clean." The thermometer has been standing at over 90° for a considerable time, and during that time once and sometimes twice during each weak no water has come into the house. One of your correspondents complained before as to the impurity of the water supplied, but to have no water at all is adding insult to injury. Who are the guilty persons? Can nothing be done to make them do their duty in this matter?

11.-The Grant-in-Aid Schools are now fifteer in number, although for purposes of examination two of the Baxter Schools have still to be taken as one. Two Basel Mission Schools, one at Sai Ying-pan for boys, and the other at Shau-ki Wan for both boys and girls, were, with the Diocesan Home and Orphanage, admitted to a share of the Grant during the year. As already stated, these schools have added greatly to the number of

18.-St. Paul's College School hald the sixth place among these schools. It had two European masters last year, instead of one, as formerly and the advantage of this was clearly seen in the results of the azami - nation. Nearly 90 per cent. of the scholars passed, and the percentage of passes in all the subjects was very high. The total number of scholars taught during the year was 136, and the average daily attendanos was 74. In both these respect the school stands very much higher than it did in 1876. This school is well conducted in every way. The discipline and appliances leave nothing to be desired.

Arithmetic and Writing (from dictation) were the weak points. The latter, always a difficult subject in a foreign tongue, needs very careful attention. The Girls School is admirably taught. Upwards of 80 per cent. of the scholars passed, and the percentage of passes in the various subjects was as follows:
