No. 42.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.
The following is published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office,
FREDERICK STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
Hongkong, 4th February, 1881.
HONGKONG GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION.
[In C.S.O. 29 of 1881.]
MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.
The annual prize examination of the Central School, which to some extent is a test of the way the Masters do their work, should be conducted, as in every other Colony, by Examiners other than the Masters.
I should be glad if Dr. STEWART would suggest the names of a few gentlemen who would be competent to conduct the necessary examination.
(Signed) J. POPE HENNESSY.
11th January, 1881.
REPORT BY THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.
The Rev. Dr. EITEL, Mr. Justice SNOWDEN (who takes a great interest in education), the Rev. Dr. CHALMERS and the Rev. Mr. LECHLER occur to me as the names of gentlemen who would be competent to conduct the necessary examinations.
The Rev. Dr. MURRAY MITCHELL, a great Indian educationist, now the guest of Dr. CHALMERS, might feel inclined to join in the examination. A comparison of results here and in India would be satisfactory.
(Signed) F. STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary,
11th January, 1881.
MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.
I approve of all those selected by Dr. STEWART, and as the boys are mostly Chinese and the examination will be partly in Chinese, let the Honourable NG CHOY and Dr. WONG be added to the Examiners.
The examination should be conducted as prescribed in the Grant-in-aid Schedule for Schools in which a European education is given with Chinese in addition.
(Signed) J. POPE HENNESSY.
11th January, 1881.
