The discipline and tone of the School continue excellent. Handwriting throughout the School continues to merit special praise; at a recent "Vere Foster's International Writing Competition" one pupil from this School sent in a copy which was adjudged to be "of conspicuous merit and deserving of special commendation", and was ranked "fourth."
Map drawing is particularly good.
Useful additions to the general equipment of the School have been made; these include 100 volumes for the Library, material for the Sports' Section and various series of pictures for conversational and decorative purposes. Most of this was personally selected by the Head Master when on leave in England.
In Sports the School has held its own; football, volley-ball and swimming are the favourite recreations.
The School is now the recognised Practising School for the University and three Students in Training are in constant attendance.
Yaumati School. - The Maximum Enrolment was 311 (302 in 1919).
The Average Attendance was 263 (263 in 1919).
Written subjects were very successful, but some weakness was apparent in the oral examinations.
An attendance competition has been instituted and has been won by Class VIB with 9 weeks of full attendance. The Head Master reports that the attendance, which was very good in the middle of the winter term, became unsatisfactory as the Chinese New Year approached, small boys being too frequently withdrawn for "family affairs", the alleged "importance" of which seemed inconsistent with the ages of the boys concerned.
Discipline has been excellent, the Prefects rendering useful assistance in the maintenance of order.
The health of the School was satisfactory, though no less than 21 per cent. of the boys were found to require glasses.
The Library, now containing nearly 600 books, is much used. The Prefects act as Librarians under the direction of the Chinese Masters.
Sports are in a flourishing condition.
The Staff and boys recently organised a concert which realised a sum of $732 for the relief of the distress in famine-stricken areas.
Wantsai School. - The Maximum Enrolment was 233 (238 in 1919).
The Average Attendance was 207 (219 in 1919). The School continues to do very satisfactory work.
