Sir
Victoria, Hongkong, the 5th March, 1849.
In making our Report for the half year ending 31st December, 1848 on the schools in this Colony receiving Government aid, we have little to add to that of the last half year.
Ninety-five boys are being educated at the three schools; forty at Victoria, twenty-five at Stanley, and thirty at Aberdeen. Over the schools at Stanley and Aberdeen we have been unable to exercise any very effectual supervision yet. The school at Victoria has been visited at least once a month, and the progress of the pupils has been satisfactory.
The Honorable Major Caine, Colonial Secretary
