Aa muat new bays come after Chinese New Year, our scholastic year has coincided with the Chisese year, but it will in felure, on the Inspector's recommendation, begin and end at the summer vacation. This will give the sen jor classes to mouths (instead of 5 hisheito) to prepare for the Oxford Local Examinations in July and will relieve the Inspectat of an ex- amination at a busy line. To masurate this change the boys had ther promotions in Sep tember and the classes began the year's work then, Conquently the examination held by the inspector, from 8th to 15th December was on three months' work; he will hold a final

The belldays were just beginning undthe boys would have lots. of leisuretime for sport and he trusted that they would keep good for that pastime. He called upon the boys to keep up the reputation of the school, which was part of the Colony. They were justly proud of their school and proud of this Colony and he hoped they would do their shate to promote the prosperity of the school and its good name. He wished them all, a happy holiday.
