"During the year several changes of a progressive nature have been introduced, the chief being the extension of the study of English to the lower classes of the school. The Remove Class, which had previously had studies in the ratio of three hours Chinese to two of English was included amongst the English Classes, and the hours were changed to one and four respectively. In this way pupils are afforded an opportunity of reaching the standard of English required for the Junior Local in the remaining four years.
