GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.
(Table III)
Queen's College:-Head Master, Mr. A. H. Crook, M.A.
The Maximum Enrolment was 537 (789 in 1925).
The Average Attendance was 452 (511 in 1925).
All pupils in Class 1 take the Matriculation or the Senior Local and all in Class 2 take the Junior Local Examination of the Hong Kong University.
Class 4 takes the "Annual Class 4 Examination" held by the Education Department; Queen's College presented 59 boys of whom 31, or 52.5 per cent passed.
The following remarks are extracted from the Head Master's Report,-
Health-The increase in the percentage of attendance is on the whole a very good sign. It is one of the best tests of the health of a school, for, although some of the absences are not due to ill health, a good average attendance implies that the health is not bad.
We had no epidemics of any kind during the year, most of the sickness being transient ailments such as colds or fever which are so catching at the changes of the seasons.
Defective eyesight is one of the most frequent complaints of the Chinese. As compared with European children the short-sightedness (Myopia) of the Chinese children is quite noticeable.
The Government at great expense and trouble has the vision of all boys carefully examined and glasses provided for defectives.
Behaviour:-Discipline and morals generally, closely bound up as they are with health and social welfare, continue to be good.
The ordinary activities of the College were carried on throughout the year without the need for resort to any severe disciplinary measures. In connexion with this good order I wish to thank the prefects who performed their duties faithfully and well.
