THE REPORT,
The Inspector of Schools read the following repart addressed to the Hon. Mr. F. H. May:
Sir, I have the honour to forward you the 14th annual report of the Belilios Public School for Gills.
Attendances-These show a decided impro- vement on the last few years, partly due, no doubt, to the absence of the plague epidemic which has so seriously affected out numbers in fornier years. The average aily attendance (excluding the Chinese girls learning Chinese only) for this year is 113.035 as compared with division the number on the roll totals 290. The 1903 93-5; 1902 895.

In the man the first of these elements predominates, and in the woman the second. But without some imagination, a man, though he may be Dr. effectual, cannot be great. In the woman there often lacks that closeness of reasoning power, necessary to give practical effect to their genius, and it is thus only through her influence on others that she can become the creator of great works. Roughly speaking, man makes life possible: woman makes it beautiful, or as a poet has prettily put it: "Men are God's trees: Women God's flowers." Culture is necessary for the proper development of both, but has to be differently directed. In the use of the trees, we want the wood and the shade,

The two highest classes in the Chinese division come up for lessons in English with Miss Bateman's pupils, for 2 hours every morn ing. For this no fees are charged as it is more or less compulsory. The girls are shy and awkward when they first come, but they soon overcome this and, to judge by their faces,

The first class, representing Standard VII, are young for such advanced work, their ages averaging 14 years only. But by diligence and co-operation with my efforts they have over- come many difficulties and it has been a great pleasure to work with them. They have all worked very well and those who have obtained prizes have done so by gaining only a few marks more than their less successful class mates.
Staff. The staff has changed a little during the year. Mrs. Tutcher has been away on leave since March. We expect her back next March, 1 shall be very much pleased to have her with us again. Miss Vanstone sent in her resignation in April, having learned typewriting and preferring it to teaching. She left shortly before her month was finished or another teacher appointed in her place. Fortunately we were able to secure the services of Miss Lily Heang, who has proved a kind and capable teacher.

While there fore the education of boys must be largely utilitarian, the training of girls should be Dec. 31, directed towards making them intelligent and appreciative. The power of conversing in their own and other languages, and the under- standing of art, music and literature, with its attendant studies of history and geography, are the proper subjects for them to be taught, with only so much arithmetic as will help them in their marketing and household accounts, and such practical science as will enable them to apply the principles of hygiene to their homes, and may help them in that great and com- paratively new branch of woman's work, the nursing of the sick. I see no need for the instruction, which I found being given in one of the Girls' Schoots of the Colony, in Stocks and Shares, Such instruction can lead them to no ideals and hardly even to that object of questionable desirability
