The subjects taught and the numbers passing are given in Table VIIIA.
Statements of accounts are given in Tables VIII A, B, & C.
The Masters' Class continued to do useful work. At the end of the year there were 9 "local" (Chinese) Masters studying for the first, 18 for the second and 14 for the third year's certificate. Eleven of them are Masters in Grant Schools.
The Kindergarten Class mentioned by the Director of the Institute in his report (Annexe A) was started in the latter half of the year, and is doing valuable work among the local women teachers.
PHYSICAL EXERCISES.
56. The Football competitions began very late, and nothing of importance was decided by the end of the year. Three school teams entered for the Senior and seven for the Junior competition.
The last instalment for the Senior Shield was paid during the past year, and there is now a credit balance. It will in future be possible to purchase medals for the winning team in the Senior competition.
Athletic Sports.-The annual Athletic Sports were held at the Happy Valley in April last, and were as popular and keenly contested as ever.
Extension Exercises are used now in most of the English Schools both Government and Grant. The course followed is generally that recommended in the manual issued by the English Board of Education.
EXCURSIONS.
As in preceding years, excursions of an educational nature have been conducted by the Heads of the Government Schools. They have included trips on the railway. On one occasion 400 boys from the District Schools were taken to Fauling and brought back without any misadventure.
STAFF.
57. The most important changes in Staff have already been mentioned. I have also alluded to the constant shifting of the Chinese Masters due to the rapidity with which from one reason or another promotions have taken place of late years. The number of officers in the Department is now as follows:
