Reports on English Schools.
A meeting of the Board of Education was held yesterday at the Sanitary Board Offce. Hon. Mr EA Irving (Director af Education), presided and there [were present. Rev. Dr. T. E
Pearce Hon. Mr. Lan Chu-pak}} [Rev. N Teasdale M:Intosh, Messrs. A. F. B. Silva Netto, W. Jackson, Fr. de Maria, Mr. E Ralphs (Inspector of English Schools), Mr. A. R. Cavaller (In- spector of Vernacular Schools) and Mr. Y. P. Lan (Secretary).
The minutes of the last meeting. held on October 20th, 1920, were
confrmed..
The English Committee's re Iports on schools visited were before the Board. The schools were Queen's College, Safyingpun, Wanchs, Indian, Victori, Kowa ||loon and Kowloon Junior,
The Chairman said that these reports would be considered in detall in Committee later: they were of a confidential nature, and fit was not the custom either here or at Home to publish detailed reports on schools. He did not think it would be desirable to do 150, The reports on the whole were very favourable, and most of the criticisms dealt with mat- {ters of equipment and deficiencies in school buildings. It would be likely to bamper committees in future if they knew that what they intended for the Board's in- formation, which might be m ported on delicate subjects, would be discussed in public.
The Board agreed to discuss the reports in Committee,
The Chairman asked the Board also to decide whether these re- ports would be passed to the heads of schools to note, or treated, as confidential. It appeared to him that it would be fairer to allow heads of schools to know what criticisms were made on their schools. therwise they might assume, quite unjustifiably, that the reports were so unfavour- able that the Board did not care: for them to be seen

that the reports should not be; submitted to the heads of schools as coming from the Committee. If the reports were adopted by the Board and were sent to the heads of schools as.coming from the Board, there could be po abjec- tion; but he gathered from some of the Chairman's comments on the reports that he was not entire- ly in agreement with some of the things that the Committee had said. That being so, the value of the reports was very considerably lessened. The view he took as a member of the Committee that what he reported to the Board was in strict confidence: if the Board accepted the responsibili ty of his remarks he was delight- ed, but he would feel very much
