These scholarships are in each case the equivalent of the school fees, i.e., from $5 to $1 a month. They are tenable for the remainder of the pupils' career at the school, and in the case of those held at Queen's College are limited to pupils who have been in the District Schools for at least a year. The scholarships tenable at the three District Schools are given to the senior boy in each of the Lower Grade Government English Schools and of certain Grant Schools.
INSTRUCTION ON THE EMPIRE.
Visual Instruction.—The lanterns and slides were issued in the usual way to the following schools:-
Ellis Kadoorie School, Victoria School, Diocesan School (Boys), Queen's College, and the Training Home for Girls,
Notes by His Excellency the Governor.---Notes for lectures upon the Empire were prepared by His Excellency the Governor early in the year, and were issued to schools. They are given in Annexe B.
I have called for reports upon the results obtained: it seems to be the general opinion among Masters, and I am inclined to concur, that the subject matter is best assimilated when imparted in connection with the ordinary school courses, such as Geography and History. The Headmaster, Queen's College, reports:--
"Some very valuable notes on this enthralling subject, specially drawn up by His Excellency the Governor, were circulated among the Masters to be embodied in the course of instruction given in Geography, History, and General Intelligence in the Upper School. Several questions in the General Intelligence paper, set to test the value of the work done in this direction, were answered in such a manner as to prove that the boys had signally benefited."
The Headmaster, Diocesan School for Boys, reports:--
"His Excellency's Notes were found very useful. A copy was supplied to each boy in VII and VI Standards and the information was embodied in the ordinary teaching in Geography and in the Lantern Lectures. The whole course can be conveniently covered in one year and is of great practical benefit generally, and especially to the Oxford Local candidates. The Lantern Lectures including His Excellency's Notes should be repeated each year as part of the School syllabus."
The Director of St. Joseph's College reports:

"The Notes have been used with advantage in the Oxford Class and to a less extent in the lower Standards. We have found them useful in connection with the teaching of the 'Historical Geography of the British Empire' by Sir Charles Lucas, and 'The Origin and Growth of the British Colonies' by the same author. Both of these are used as text books for the Oxford examination. These Notes may also be used in connection with the Oxford Senior Geography. In the Senior Division the students are expected to know the Geography of the British Empire in general, and must possess in addition a fair knowledge of its history.
