As regards the examination in Chemistry,
Mr. MACCALLUM set for the boys in Class I. a series of 9 questions, of which 6 only were to be answered. These questions comprised only the subjects actually taught during the past year. The following results were obtained :--
Total examined, 23
Answers very good, 3
" good, 3
" fair, 4
Total passed, 10
Total failed, 13
Out of those who failed, only 3 were fit to be presented at all in Chemistry. The others had evidently not been long enough in the Class to be able to pass.
Mr. MACCALLUM specially mentioned that the number of subjects taught seems small for the teaching of a whole year.
"Resolved that the above Minutes be presented to the Government as and in place of a Report." Agreed to unanimously.

至於甄別化學一班生徒應考者二十三名
兹將甄取錄者開列於左
麥加霖先生授課所出題目共九題任伊自選六題以作答
上取三名
中取四名
次取三名 合共被取者十名不入取者十三名
在不入取者中僅有三名足以應考化學其餘各童在該班所教各款暗昧可見進班未入按期固不能實與去歲所教各欸
竊思是教一年之功課實屬極少
考試局各員同心定奪將以上記錄呈政府聊代申陳
