Class 4 shews very good results except in Geography, which is very weak.
Penmanship is very good in all Classes, but especially in 7A. There is a marked inferiority however in the writing as shewn in examination papers and Class work. This must inevitably occur to a certain extent, but the difference may be lessened by penalising badly written exercises by loss of marks.
In all Classes, the lower Divisions are much inferior to the higher.
In Class 6C at least half the boys could be removed to a lower Class with advantage to themselves and the School, and in other Divisions there are many boys who seem unable to cope satisfactorily with the work required of them, and who would profit by demotion or at least by remaining for a second year in the same Class. I would recommend the former course, as tending to more equal classification.
The Inspector of Vernacular Schools reports that Composition in Class IV is very good on the whole, some boys being up to the standard of Class III; the subject is satisfactory in all other classes. Answers to questions on Readers and History in Class IV are mostly rather vague, due probably to the questions being a little too wide, but the pupils made good attempts; Class V shews a fair knowledge of History, and the remaining Classes are satisfactory, except in the answers to questions on Confucius in Class VII, which is poor. Handwriting is unsatisfactory in Class IV, but very satisfactory in all other Classes.
Saiyingpun School. The Maximum Enrolment was 409 (390 in 1915).
The Minimum Enrolment was 299 (241 in 1915).
Average Attendance was 349 (326 in 1915).
The cost of each unit in Average Attendance was $25.57 ($25 in 1915). Over 200 applied for admission of these 160 were admitted and the remainder rejected either on account of age, or inability to pass the entrance examination in Chinese.
Mr. Ray commenced duties in February.
The Discipline of the School is excellent, and the work done is highly satisfactory.
Reading and Conversation are good throughout, but especially so in the lowest Classes, where these subjects are very successfully taught by Mrs. Morris. In the Classes taught by Chinese Masters pronunciation calls for some attention. Special care is devoted to handwriting, which throughout the School is considerably above the average standard. Exercise books were well written and neat. Composition is generally very good, and, with the exception of those in one Class, all exercises have been very carefully corrected.
Football and Volley Ball teams were entered in their respective Leagues. The School is handicapped in all games through lack of space. For the same reason, Physical Exercises cannot be taken as they should be. At the Hongkong Schools Sports held in April the School secured two "Firsts".
