announcement will be made, especially in China, of the admirable opportunities that are here available, and encouragement given to such students to equip themselves more thoroughly for their return to work.
The examination, both oral and written, again revealed the commendable perse- verance of the students, and the care which had been shown in their training by Mr. Drake and Mr. Lan. I would, however, once more draw attention to the need of Adopting some method for the improvement of enunciation. If, at the outset, a few lessons in Phonetics could be supplied, the work of teachers and students would be simplified, and greater accuracy of pronunciation ensured.
In Division II. three students were examined, two of whom obtained a place in the first class, and one in the third class.
In Division III. five students were examined, of whom one takes a place in the first class, three in the second, and one in the third.
In Division IV. eleven students were examined, one of them, Mrs. Kan, being a Chinese, born and brought up in Java, who is surely a unique instance of an adult Chinese learning Chinese for the first time in England. In this Division the very excellent number of seven students obtained a place in the first class, three in the second class, and one in the third class.
The method of marking recommended in my last year's Report has this year been adopted, a maximum of thirty per cent. of the marks being given for work done during Thirty per cent, maximum marks are the year, as shown by the students' note books. given for the oral examination, and forty per cent. for the written papers. The result is shown in the Pass List given on next page.
In conclusion, I can only repeat what I said last year, that, remembering the fact that the students have only their evening hours for study, their progress can only be regarded as remarkable, reflecting every credit not only upon Acting Professor Drake, and his Assistant, Mr. Lan, but upon the students themselves, to whose ability and diligence the Pass List gives evidence.
