Appendix F.

Remarks on Examination of Children from Victoria School.

The failure of the Victoria School in the examination on the Advanced Course seems to call for explanation. The Headmaster points out-

(a) that the subject was only begun in the middle of the Autumn Term, as there were not sufficient pupils capable of receiving instruction before then;

(b) that the average age of the pupils is only 12, and that they are not

mentally fit for the study of the Advanced Course;

(c) that they were only entered under pressure from myself.

With regard to the last point, it is true that when I learned that there were not enough pupils to form a Team, I requested Mr. Williams to send them in for the Advanced Course, rather than that a Government School should be altogether unrepresented at the examinations.

10. Hygiene.-By Circular in 1904 the Secretary of State urged on the Crown Colonies the importance of teaching this subject. The Governor of Hong Kong at once made Hygiene a compulsory part of the school curriculum, and to stimulate the necessary interest until the novelty of the subject should have worn off, His Excellency provided several prizes, which for value compare rather with scholar- ships. I am pleased to report that Hung Iu-chi, a genuine Queen's College product, was bracketed third in the Schools' competition in the Advanced Course, while by the success of our Team of ten boys in the Elementary Course, the name of Queen's College will head the list inscribed on the shield. Robert Eastlake of III A. and Ip U-pak of IV B. were selected by the Examiners for prizes as having obtained the highest marks in their respective classes. In the spring of the year there were in Queen's College over 700 boys receiving instruction on Hygiene, but this number dwindled through boys leaving school, until there remained for the annual examina- tion 606, of whom 386 or 64 per cent. passed. The result is better exhibited in tabular form :-

It is thus evident that all the English masters, who alone teach this subject, have entered with spirit into the teaching of Hygiene, and I may add that in the College examination the boys themselves exhibited in their answers an amount of interest that quite surprised me. Since a first year's work can produce such satis- factory results, we are justified in supposing that in another three years after a progressive course of education in this subject in the Third and Second Classes, the boys in the First Class may really acquire advanced knowledge in Hygiene.
