EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, Hongkong, 13th January, 1892. SIR-I have the honour to forward, under this enclosure, the Annual Report of the Govern ment Central School for Girls for 1891, presented 3. The examination of this School, conducted by Mrs. Bateman, the Headmistress. by myself, kas shewn very satisfactory results, such as testify to the efficiency of the teaching. Iven both by the Head-mistress and by the Assistant Teacher, Mr. Leung, I have found clear evidence of steady progress in the attain. ments of the children in almost every subject. The general tone of the School and the relations existing between the scholars and the teachers ara highly commendable.
3. As to the anggestion made fa the enclosed report regarding the appointment of an ad. ditonal papil-teacher, which even now seemsi much needed, I will make a recommendation, in a separate document as scon as the School re-assembles after the Chinese New Year's holidays, when it will be seen more clearly what addition to the staff will be required on account of increased attendance.
