A
Organization. The training of Pupil Teachers has been again placed entirely in the hands of one master instead of devolving, as it did for a time, upon various members of the Staff.
Throughout the school the classes are now arranged in pairs, each pair of classes being taught by at least one British master or mistress and one Chinese master; this re-adjustment was instituted to ensure for boys in all Classes an equal amount of instruction from a British teacher.
In September last a single section of Class 8, for beginners in English, was formed in response to the numerous applications received from old Queen's College boys and others.
Studies. All boys in the two Senior Classes—Classes 1 and 2—known alternatively as the Matriculation and Junior Local Classes, were entered without discrimination for the University Examination in July.
For Matriculation 18 students were entered, 16 of whom actually sat for the examination, and of whom 7 qualified for the Matriculation certificate. Four scholarships were gained: one President's Scholarship, with Honours, one King Edward VII Scholarship, and two Canton Government Scholarships. In the December examination two more students entered and passed.
Throughout Class 3, Chinese newspapers are now used in connection with translation lessons, each boy subscribing a small amount monthly and so becoming entitled to a regular supply of papers.
It is upon admission to Class 3, either from the lower school here, or from a District or other school, that boys are called upon to decide whether they will join the "Full" section leading up to Matriculation and the University, or the "Commercial Section" which provides a course of study intended to fit them for business, and it is a matter for gratification that every year there is an increased tendency to take up the "Full" course instead of the "Commercial," since it is undoubtedly an indication that there is an increasing demand among the Chinese for "education" in the best sense of the term.
Normal Class.—The nine first year Pupil Teachers attending the Normal Class were entered for the Matriculation Examination.
Of these 3 obtained certificates and are now taking the University course for Student Teachers. This makes a total of 9 Student Teachers now being maintained by the Hongkong Government at the University.
No second year examination was held, since all our second year students had been promoted to fill vacancies occasioned by the shortage of Chinese Assistant Masters.
