The Headmaster (Mr. R. J. Birbeck, M. A.) read the following report: During the year theschool has been open on 225 days, with an average attendance of 250, the highest number on the roll being 273 in September, and the lowest 248 in January. These numbers will necessarily be reduced

being formed of 30 boys instead of 40. At the annual examination held in July, in Classes 4, JA, & 5B which constitute the Remove, 118 boys were examined and 100 passed or 92,per cent. In classes 6, 7A, 7B. & 8, 10 were examined and 125 passed, or 83 per cent. In Class 4 arithmetic and gram- mar were the weakest subjects. In class 5A only one boy failed of 40 examined. In 5B & 7B map drawing was very poor, less than half the boys passing. In class 8 more boys failed in arithmetic and composition thau in any other subjects.
With regard to Chinese, Mr. Leung Shiu-on reports that in the upper classes reading and dictation were good, but poor in the lower classes, while composition was weak throughout the school. I have still to complain that I find great difficulty in getting the boys to answer ques- tions on every day. matters. I think however that during the present year an improvement in this respect will take place. Act- ing on a suggestion made. last year by Mr. Ralphs, Mr. Leung Shiu-on started an English speak- ing club, which met once a week when papers were read and dis- cussed and speeches made: This has done a great deal of good and a special prize has been awarded for the best speaker. During the year there have been no changes in class masters, but the staff has been considerably strengthened by the appointment of Mrs. Floyd, who takes overy class in the school in their reading books-an arduous task I am afraid-but it will greatly improve the colloquial in the

school. With regard to games We have to congratulate the School XI on winning the Junior Football League this is the third time, and I believe that Wanchai is the only Government District School to have won. In the class matches, class 4 were the winners. We have made a start at volley ball and entered a team is the junior division of the Hongkong Volley Bail League. We have of course to make the complaint made by nearly all other schools about lack of ground. In the District Schools' Sports our team 2nd. in the senior team race. The bathing picnics in the

very popular, as many as 225 boys going on one occasion. A few gymnastic appliances have been put up in the small playground, and many of the boys take! advantage of them for exercises, but an instructor is necessary to make a real "succese of them, Physical drill, which has greatly improved owing. I think, to dumb- bells being used, bae again been taken entirely by Mr. Chan Po-shang, whom, we must thank for that and also for working very hard acd taking a great interest in all the school games. A bank on the east side of the school has been truned into quite good flower garden. The boys did all the work of clearing away the stones and preparing the
