REPORT ON ENGLISH-TEACHING SCHOOLS.
GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.
(Table III).
Queen's College:-Head Master, Mr. A. H. Crook, M.A.
The Maximum Enrolment was 647.
The Average Attendance was 587.
108 new boys from the Government District Schools were admitted to Class 3. Boys admitted from these Schools usually have had a thorough grounding in elementary subjects and do well in the Upper School of Queen's College.
All pupils in Class 2 take the Junior Local Examination and all in Class 1 take the Matriculation or the Senior Local of the Hong Kong University. At the last examination 83 boys sat for the Junior Local Examination; of these 53 passed, gaining 41 distinctions. In the Senior Local and Matriculation Examination 36 candidates sat, and of these 24 passed, eight of them gaining honours with a total of 21 distinctions. These excellent results indicate the painstaking work of the staff.
The health of the school was good.
Sports were carried on much as usual. Through the kindness of the Chinese Bathing Club the annual swimming gala was held at their bathing enclosure at North Point. Other sports, volley-ball, basket-ball, football, tennis and cricket were carried on with vigour. To avoid the danger of sports suffering from too much specialization by particular persons, inter-class games were encouraged more than inter-school competition.
The Old Boys' Association continues to take a deep interest in the school and provides some of the scholarships and prizes. During the year it suffered the sad loss of its President, Mr. Lee Hy-san, who had formerly been a pupil and a teacher in the College. Another old boy, Mr. Woo Hei Tong, has made the munificent donation of the interest on $100,000 to provide scholarships in the local schools.
The Yellow Dragon, the school magazine, has entered its thirtieth year of continued existence. It has certainly justified its name.
