6. At the half-yearly examination held by me in July, out of 383 boys examined, 371 or 97 per cent. passed.

7. Translation from and into English is now taught throughout the School; marks for writing are therefore only allowed in the Preparatory School.

8. It has hitherto been the custom for boys leaving this School to be content only with immediate salaries as clerks and to despise any opening that entails manual labour; but in the past year about 6 boys have apprenticed themselves to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, and I understand from the Secretary, Mr. GILLIES, that they are giving satisfaction.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable W. H. MARSH, C.M.G.
Colonial Secretary.
