Co the present occasion the examination hegan on the 13th December and was con tinued daily, all the papers heing examined and returned before Christmas. A large proportion of the English papers in the upper forms were examined by Messrs. Hamilton and Scott, and the translation from English to Chinese and vice-versa by Mr. Fung, the Senior Angle-Chinese assistant. The standard required for a pass was considerably higher than last year particularly so in the subject of writing from dictation, to which 1 attach considerable importance. The results are briefly as follows:-Reading 96 %; Writing from Dictation 64%; Authmetic 79%; English The British cruiser Sutlej, 1,000 tons, has Composition 85 % English Colloquial 83 %; Grammar 84 %; Geography 85 %; Map Draw. ing 85% Translation Cle E 53 %; Translation Eto C67%; History 83%; Elementary Science 79%; Mensuration 72 %; Euclid 56%; Algebra

results in Euclid and Algebra accounted for by the fact that those who sure jects were added to the curriculum by request of the more advanced pupils so recently as last summer holidays. In teaching elementary during the year by the want of suitable ap- science we were considerably handicapped params. This deficiency has now been rectified by the purchase of two of Brown's cabinets of objects and apparatus for the teaching of elementary science and nature knowledge, so that we are now able to illustrate the lessons by means of simple experiments. As a means of stimulating interest and inciting conversa. tion this apparatus is invaluable. In 1937 the Committee on Education in Hengkong having examined the course of study prescribed for the Oxford local examination decided that "oo much time was spent in the acquisition of dry facts relating to early and medieval English history and to the geography of countries which are only remotely connected with the Far East."
EDUCATIONAL METHODS,
The wisdom of this decision must be re-
SPORT AGAIN.
The presence of two or more Britishers in any part of the globe is almost synonymous with the word "sport" and our teachers are no exception to the rule. They have endeavour ed to encourage games-especially football among the boys. The recently established football league for Schools should give a great impetus to the game, but the necessary steps should at once be taken to secure for the west end of the City a suitable playing field as it is 100 far for boys living in this district to travel down to Happy Valley for practice. Our thanks are due to the directors of the Po Leung Kuk and numerous other Chinese gentlemen who sent us prizes (loud applause).
After the prize distribution was over His Excellency the Governor was called upon to speak.
THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH. The Governor said-Ladies and gentlemen- The most agreeable way of carrying out the duty which now devolves on me of making a few remarks would be to eulogise the parts of the reports submitted by the Headmaster and by the inspector of Schools. I wish, however, to restrain myself to the less agreeable, but possibly the more useful, method of making a few remarks on a subject in which the scholars have proved themselves to be the least proficient. It is difficult to understand why the study of

THE PHILIPPINE ALIEN CONTRACT LAW.
CASE OF PECULIAR HARDSHIP.
On Monday last two Englishmen, named Rae and Woodington, strived from Manila under conditions of unparalleled hardship brought about through the operation of the Contract Labour law in the Philippines, Ac- cording to their story, which is borne out by the papers they hold, some time ago the Manila Railway Company's agents in London
advertised for two foremen platelayers to pro- ceed, under three years' contracts, to work on the Manila-Dagupan Railway in Luzon, P. 1. Their applications were favourably considered, contracts were signed, and in due course the men came out to Manila. On arriving there they had to wait two days before seeing the Manager of the Company, and when they did so it was only to be informed by him that, according to law, they could not work there. On landing in Manila Rac had some $4 or $5, and Wooding. ton about $30, and their position can therefore be better imagined than described. How- ever, as it happened, the Manila Times heard of the matter, and taking their case up, secured them passages to Hongkong, where they landed with about $4 between them. It is asserted that, while waiting in Manila, a party of mechanics assaulted the men saying that they had come out to under- sell them, as their contract provided to pay them at the rate of £200 per annum, while the rate prevailing in Manila was the equivalent of £225 per anum. Upon arrival here they were advised to see the Colonial Secretary and by him they were sent to the Soldiers and Sailors' Home, steps now being taken to ensure their return to England.
It will be quite fresh in the memories of our readers that a somewhat similar case occurred

Allen, a bank accountant, was transferred to the Manila branch of his bank, under contract from Hongkong, and was refused permission to take up his appointment, and though the matter was taken to the highest tribunal in the the 23rd January, 1995, at Noon, at Nos. 85 and TRO-PLATED and GLASS WARE, CAR- United States, he had to leave the l'hilippines and accept an appointment elsewhere. With this case so recently occurring, and bearing in mind that the Manila-Dagupan Railway Company is an English concern, and the manager an Englishman, it appears a remark- able thing that the London agents should be requested, as, presumably, they were, to send out two plate-layers under contract to the company, when the representatives must have known that they would not be allowed to land in Manila.

geography should not be attractive to the boys of this college. In a village in the interior which has very little connection with the outer world, it is natural that small interest should be taken in countries whose names were hardly ever heard. But here in Hongkong every boy has before his eyes ships that come from every quarter of the globe, laden with produce that comes from many lands. One day a ship leaves port to take up coals for South Africa another ship is loading for Australia; and another ship comes in from Australia with goods which we could not produce here. One day the steamer Empress of India brings mails from the great American continent. Another day it is the English mail that comes in, by the Pacific or the Atlantic Oceans. The ships come here laden with the produce of many countries, machinery and manufactured goods with luxuries of every sort from China, with sugar from the Philippines; with coal from social gathering in company with the warrant cognised by all who take an interest in educas Japan and the New South Wales, and numerous tion and educational methods.
