MANUAL INSTRUCTION, COOKERY, SCHOOL GARDENS.
32. Carpentry continues to be taught at the Central British School.
33. Cookery is taught at the Central British and Victoria British Schools.
34. Mr. Mould has started a school garden at Tai Po. The gardens at the Indian school and Tai Wai school continue to flourish. The former was very popular during the summer months, but suffered damage from the autumn rain.
GENERAL.
35. On the whole the schools of the Colony are in a satis- factory state. Departmental regulations in the case of Government schools and the nature of the Grant in the case of the Grant schools ensure that the senior classes are really taught and presented for the University examinations as units, to the discouragement of special tuition and pot-hunting for scholarships. These conditions which have been enforced for many years tend to produce a high general level, and should not in my opinion be lightly discarded.
