The number of teaching periods per week in proportion
to the number of correction periods allot tea to cach tcachor
is in some schools or sections of schools far too small, and
points to considerable over-staffing. This applies perticu- larly to Queen's College, King's College, and the Chinese
Staff at Bolilies Public School. In one case a full-time
teacher has only ten teaching periods per week, in others gale
teachers have up to fourteen hours for corrections weekly;
while in one school under a European Head three of the non-
British Staff had no teaching timetables at all. The
Commissioners consider that the Heads of Schools have not all
shorn the necessary strictness in seeing that a full day's
work is done by all the members of their staff, but blame
rust also be attached to the Inspectors of English Schools for anaḍāquata pupervision of the timo-tables. It is
recommended that in no school should the correction period for any full-time member of the staff exceed five hours wookly.
QUEEN'S COLLEGE AND KING'S COLLEGE
1.6. In pursuance of a policy of encouraging the spread of elementary education rather than of giving increased impetus solely to the spread of higher education, the closing of Queen's College, and the sale of the building and site is
recommended. The present King's College should be renamed Queen's Collage, and should be a purely secondary school for boys, with graduato masters only. The present Queen's College is an unsuitable building, and owing to the age of the fabric is expensive to maintain, and the Commissioners can see no necessity for the provision of two large colleges, each providing secondary as well as elementary education, at such close quarters to each other The name of Queen's College Commands respect in the minds of the Chinese and the College
