have play-grounds about it. Even greater is the difficulty of parents. Their feelings appear to lie altogether in the other direction. One time the upper Classes at Kowloon School were exclusively for girls and those of Victoria School for boys, irrespective of their homes. This plan broke down in face of the opposition to it. Recently, I attempted to get the bigger boys of both schools to meet for instruction in Chinese in a room of the Post Office building. I found that strong objections were raised and that the attendance suffered considerably. The objections would be stronger and better grounded if it were intended to make little children travel daily a distance of many miles in all weathers. The tendency has on the contrary been to demand a separate school for each locality. The Peak School was the last, and another is at present under consideration.

8. In the British Schools the pupils have assisted regularly on "Our Day", "Heather Day", and "St. George's Day". The Kowloon British School children subscribe monthly to War Charities, paying in the sum of $172.94 during the year; the children attending the Peak School subscribe to a fund by which they support a prisoner of war in Germany. In the Girls' Schools, sewing and other war work is carried on.

9. In all the English Schools, i.e., Schools attended by Chinese pupils learning English, war pictures with descriptions in English and Chinese are displayed in Class Rooms and Corridors, and serve the double purpose of giving information respecting the war and of providing subjects for Essays and topics of conversation in the Class Rooms.

10. The Call of the War has seriously depleted the Staff of English Masters; the deficiency was met by the temporary appointment of seven English Mistresses.

11. During the year 4,500 copies of a pamphlet on Mosquitoes and Malaria were distributed among the pupils at the Government Schools.

12. The Belilios Public School (Girls) and the Saiyingpun School continue to do excellent work.

13. Trust Funds.-Several Trust Funds for Scholarships are held by the Director of Education. Balance Sheets of these are given in Tables IX, X, and XI.

MILITARY SCHOOLS.

14. Garrison Schools. The average number on the rolls at the three schools--Victoria (Garden Road), Lyemun, and Stonecutters—was 100, and the daily attendance 93, about the same as last year.

POLICE SCHOOL.
