The smaller were attributable chiedy to the Lower School is no longer fed from preparatory division, the last glass of which was abolished in 1908, partly to the increased and increasing educational facilities oflared elsewhere in the Colony, as well as to the strict enforcement of an age-limit. At least s oor of boys had been refused admission on the ground of over age: others, doubtless, had not. presented themselves knowing that their ago was a bar. With the sanction of the Socrotary of State, this College had now been definitely brought within the jurisdiction of the Director of Education, the official head in Hong- hong of mattore educational, This would promote fitting co-ordination of work: General. ly speaking attendance had been vory regular. The total gross expenditure, inclusive of Salaries, Exchange Compensation, Charges, and Crown Agents, came to 365,958, mainly due to the replacing of the former Head Head Master, who is on a sterling basis. The revenue of the College, smaller numbers not- withstanding, showed a satisfactory increase of 99,045 over that of 1909. In consequence, the average cost of each scholar for the year had been considerably reduced, while the percent age of revenue to expenditure was higher than is has been in any year aines 1901. At the last Oxford Local Examination, the candidates from Queen's College obtained no less than 35 sertificates, a larger number than in any pre- vious year.
