6. Another question of great importance is the cost of education. Purely native teaching is extremely cheap. The consequence is that purely native Confucian Schools, public and private, abound all over the Colony. Their managers ask for no grant from Government and even decline to apply for it when invited. They would not hesitate to take the money of the Government, but they object to the training of the Grant-in-aid Schedule and fear interference with the method of teaching, believing, as they do, that they know better how to teach Chinese than a foreign Government can possibly know. In the smaller villages and hamlets of the Colony alone the people are glad to have the advantages of the Grant-in-aid Scheme because their poverty does not allow them, with their small number of families, to establish schools of their own as they would otherwise prefer to do. But in the town all purely Chinese schools kept by the Government are, in my opinion, not only uncalled for but compete injuriously with native self-help in Confucianist education without giving really a better education. For details as to the cost of the Government Schools and the amount of aid given to Grant-in-aid Schools I refer to the tables appended to this Report. But I wish to point out that the costly nature of English teaching principally consists of the salaries of English Masters, who have to be imported from England, who require free passage out, a salary of at least £300, and after some years a passage back to England on furlough or sick certificate. Had the Government, when first beginning to teach English in this Colony, confined itself to English teaching, instead of combining it with Chinese, and established a training school for native teachers of English, creating at the same time a demand for such teachers by opening Elementary English schools instead of purely Chinese schools all over the Colony and thereby needlessly competing with the natives in what they were willing enough to do themselves and what after all they do better than the Government can do, there would long ago have been furnished a supply of natives able to teach English effectively and willing to teach it at very moderate salaries. Even now training school exists in the Colony and consequently almost all English teaching in the Colony that is really effective has to be provided for by procuring the teaching power at great cost from England. A revision of the whole Educational Policy of the Government is clearly needed.

7. Detailed information as to the changes which have taken place last year in the constitution of the Education Department will be found in the Supplements annexed to this Report. To the same Supplements I also refer for detailed information as to the progress made by the outside Government Schools in the course of the 1879, and as regards the revision of the Grant-in-aid Schedule. This revision, as far as approved at present by the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, consisted principally in the expurgation from the Schedule of the words "secular" and "elementary." For the words "secular" read "non-Chinese," and for "elementary" read "English." * These Supplements, being reprints from the Government Gazette, are not re-published here but will be inserted in Blue Book.
