Hygiene has now become one of the regular subjects of study in all Government and Grant Schools, English and vernacular.
The manual on Hygiene issued to the English schools has been translated into Chinese and is in use in all the vernacular grant schools.
The annual competition for the challenge shield presented by Sir Matthew Nathan, K.C.M.G., took place in December. Seven teams entered for the competition. There was no competition in the advanced course this year.
Evening Continuation Classes opened in October, 1906, and were continued until the end of May, 1907, when they closed for the summer. Examinations were held at the end of the session, and certificates were granted to successful students.
In May a committee was appointed to inquire into the subject of instruction at the evening classes. A report was published in September with the result that the classes were reorganised and, under the title of the Hong Kong Technical Institute, reopened in October.
The object of the Institute is to afford facilities for a commercial and scientific training to students generally, and to enable those who have left school to continue their studies.
The following table shows the subjects taught at the Technical Institute, and the number of students who entered for each subject:-
