3. Foster, BA (London), the Readmaster, read the report, which stated that the maximum enrolment was. 5 (60 in 1916); the minimum onrolment, 13 (47 in 1916). The cost of each unit in average attendance was $117.54 (8118.63 in 1916).
As last year, all pupils in the upper classes (1 and 2) were required to enter for the Hongkong University Local 363 Examinations. The results were very satisfactory, and shew that the children attending this school are receiving as good and as advanced an education as, they would in the ordinary course obtain at Home, the studies being up to the standard required for entrance to the University. In these examinations, the toy candidates at this school take Eng Esh, arithmetic, history, geography, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and Scripture; the girls take the same sub- jects, with the difference that hygiene and needlework are substituted for algebra and geometry. Further, if any pupil in the upper classes shows any special aptitude fer mathematica, French or Latin, he is encouraged to take up these subjects. In addition, the boys bare the opportunity of learning Chinese, written and colloquial (Cantonese), under a native teacher, and have made 377 satisfactory progress during the year.

Willys-
Overland
Motor Cars
A Wide Range of Models.
All New Values
From your point of view this announce- ment is most important.
For herein we set forth the achievement toward which the Willys-Overland Company has aimed for the last eight years.
This achievement in a word is the com pletion of a great organization to a point where it could make and market a complete range of motor cars under one control.
One executive organization,-one factory management, öne purchasing unit-one selling expense, one group of dealers,-plan, produce and sell all of these models,
As a result The Willys-Overland Company. is producing motor cars of exceptional quality -and marketing them at unusually low prices. Every motor car is built to a rigid stand- ard of performance, comfort and appearance
The new Light Four Cylinder touring car is a striking example. It is finished in gray and is a car of quality in every sense of the word.
The engine is powerful, quiet and of sturdy construction. The soft cushions, easy-riding springs, large tyres and the proper balance in construction absorb all jolts and jars of, the highways. Yet this is but one of the new. Willys-Overland values. Never before have the economies of vast production been avail- able for buyers of every class of motor car.
And the Overland policy of greater pro- duction, higher quality, lower price is exem- plified in every model and type.
Let our experience help you in the selection of your motor car.
