attendance being 14 as compared with 49 in 1910, The highest number on the roll was 82 in May, and the lowest 47 in September. The increase in the numbers was going on steadily, which is very Batisfactory in view of the increase in the fees from $81 a month to $2.
la the half-yearly and annual exami- nations 76 boys were examined, and 45 pated. This low percentago was caused by class 8, which included very young boys who had lately come to the school and knew nothing. However, a great in provement had taken place since, as the results of the present year would show.
In addition to playing football and teania and being drilled twice a week, the boys have a piece of waste ground broken into lots where they can grow
Up
whatever they like.
The general health of the boys has been very good and little leave has been asked for account of sickness, This is only natural as the school is in a healthier situation than most in the Colony,
The discipline and general behaviour of the boys
is better, but there is still room for improvement.
The thanks of the school are due to Bir Ellis Kadoorie, and Mr. Arculli, who not only paid a considerable amount of money for the school fees of poor boys. but have also sent presents of plants and
"Howers for the boys', gardens,
The prizes were distributed by Sir Ellis Kadoorie to the following scholars -Abdullah Buth, Chanan Singh, Jermia Nissim, Khwaj Mohamed, M. Hussain, A. Madar, M. A. Yacoub, Mohamed "Usuf, Bohan Singh, J. David Abdul Karim II, Moosa Hassan, and Kassim Omar.
Bir Ellis Kadoorie said he took a very lively interest in the school and it had given him great pleasure to give away the prizes. He hoped that the improve. ment shown in the past year, both in the work and in the attendanco, would con tinue
Mr O. Madar said that he was pre acnt in order to thank Bir. Ellin Kadoorie on behalf of many of the parents of the boys at the school for the p great work he had done in building the school and in helping every month with the boys' fees.

Committes), GB. Edwards, JO Nixon, F. P. de V. Soaros, E. Ezra, M. S. Northcote, and J Morton Baith (Becretary)
The Chairman said Gentlemen, The report and accounts having bean in your bands for some time I propose with your permission to take them as read
The proft on trading for the year amount to $34,498.03, some 82,900 less than last year, which, in view of the comparatively large withdrawal of British shipping from the China Coast, and the enhanced cost of coal must, I think, be considered as satisfactory,
During the year the reductios of capital suggested at our lost annual moeting has been carried out, and 83 per share has been returned to shareholders. Ic order to make this return the sale of some of your investments has been neces sary and consequently, dividends from investments are smaller than last year, which year, you will remember, also benefitted by the profit on the sale of two of the old boats, The amount, therefore, available for distribution is 850,408-75, na against 850,375.88 in 1918, and I trust you will approve of the allocation re- oummended in the report.
You will have noticed the somewhat large amount of $7,000 to be written off investments to bring them down to the market value on December 31st. I would explain that your investiconta are in" first class local public companies, but, as the market price has been affected by the present abnormally high rate of ex- change, it is necessary to make this provision,
Your property has, as usual, been well kept up out of current revenue. With those few remarks, gentlemen, I beg to propose the adoption of the report and accounts as circulated,
Mr. Showan seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously.
Mr. Edwards proposed, and Mr. Nixon seconded, the re-election of Mr. TO B Brown as an auditor of the Company at a renumeration of $200. This was carried unanimously, alles
The Chairman announced that dividend warrants were now ready and would be paid on application.

Their cheap dismissal was mainly due to the bowling of Sergeant Strange, of the B.A.M.C, who captured four wickets for ten rubs The R.A.M.C. replied with 220 for the loss of seven wickets, There was a good partnership between Lieut. Murray (0) and L-Cpl. Ellerby (40), which realised 110 runs. Lieut.
