35. The Christmas Examination for the rest of the school showed that general progress had been made especially by those who had had the benefit of a full year's teaching. The work in the lower school was probably better than in any previous year.
36. A course of cookery lessons was given and the practical work was done by the girls with enthusiasm. The Chinese Class for the boys was inspected by the Inspector of Vernacular Schools, who reported that the boys were making satisfactory progress.
37. During the last five years, of 26 candidates presented for Matriculation, Senior Local, and Junior Local, 23 have passed. One pupil passed directly from the school to McGill University this year.
38. Premises. During the year the lavatories have been re-constructed, and the most modern system introduced. It is now possible for the boys to have a shower bath after playing games.
39. These improvements are in every way a great benefit and are much appreciated.
40. Health.--The Government Medical Officer visited the school and examined the children. He reported the general health good. The school has been free from epidemics, and the attendance has not been much affected by illness.
41. Kowloon British School. -The discipline and tone are very good. A system of Prefects has recently been established.
42. The Annual Examination conducted in December showed a general improvement in all Classes. Good progress is recorded in the Chinese Class. The Cookery Classes were very successful.
43. In the Hongkong University Local Examinations one boy was entered for the Senior Local, but failed: 4 boys and 1 girl were entered for the Junior Local.
44. In November the first School Sports were held at the Kowloon Cricket Club and the prizes were distributed by His Excellency the Governor.
45. Since November Mr. Thompson of the Naval Yard has very kindly given the Senior Boys instruction in physical culture and in boxing.
46. Peak School. The School has suffered a great loss in the retirement of Mrs. Main, the Head Mistress.
47. The number of pupils admitted during the year was 50. Forty-five pupils left. Attendance has been good, although there was the usual falling off in July—a number of pupils going North for short periods. The School was opened on 198 days. Average attendance for the year is 45.
48. There has been no serious case of illness throughout the year.
49. The age of the greater number of children attending the School is under 8.
