and there was no time to make a second journey. All other schools we have personally inspected, at least once, and in some cases several times. The subsidised schools have been visited by Sub-Inspectors once a month during term, and the non-subsidised from time to time, but, owing to the great amount of extra work entailed by registering so many new schools for the first time, it was not possible to arrange for regular and systematic inspection of each individual school. The experiment was made of trying to get pupils to take an interest in botanical work, and the Superintendent of the Botanical and Forestry Department sent out 12 specimens of various plants, mostly bananas, papayas, and pineapples, to half a dozen selected schools — at Shui Lau Tin, Lai Tsuen, Pak Sha Au, Kau Wa Keng, and two at Tsuen Wan.

The experiment has not proved much of a success, and pupils do not appear to take a personal interest in the gardens. At Shui Lau Tin bananas did not flourish, though the other plants did, and in the Tsuen Wan district, strange to say, it was the pineapples that failed to flourish.
