TECHNICAL INSTITUTE,
42. The Institute continues to do useful though not ambitious work. The Classes are mostly well attended, especially those for the training of teachers. The percentage of students who sit for the Annual Examination is low, (55%), from which it would appear that most of the students obviously attend to gain information rather than a certificate. The Third Year's Examination in Building Construction was passed by one student; in Practical Chemistry, 1; English, 3; Shorthand (Speed) 8; Teachers' English, 7; and Teachers' Vernacular, 18. There were also 66 Passes in the Second Year's Courses of the above subjects and Field Surveying, Mathematics, Book-keeping, and First Aid.
43. The number of students who attend the Teachers' Classes is satisfactory being 46 at the English Classes and 105 at the Vernacular Classes.
44. Some interesting extracts are given by the Director of the Institute from the Report of the Examiner in Shorthand. His report is given in Appendix II.
HONGKONG UNIVERSITY EXAMINATIONS.
45. There were 129 successes (99 in 1915), Queen's College again heading the list. Two passes for the Senior Local were obtained at the British Schools, as well as 10 for the Junior.
GENERAL.
46. Mr. Dealy, Headmaster of Queen's College, was absent on leave for the greater part of the year. Other members of the Staff were seconded for active or employed on war work as stated in my report for last year.
