Table XI, where the basis of a just comparison of the merits of the schools may be obtained. Hanagers will do well to give it their best consideration, as by it they will be able to know the Hirection in which their strong and their weak points lie.

1. The last subject for consideration is the School Book Committee's Scries. Four books have now been completed, namely the Trimer and Books I, II, and III of the series. The Committee, without dissolving, intend to pause here for the present, until the test of actual experience has been irly applied. It is highly probable that a second edition of the books already published will be pre- pared before new ground is broken. In addition to reading books, manuals of arithmetic, geography and history are very much wanted, but as these require greater unity of design, it is necessary that they should be compiled by individual members rather than by each member of the Committee con- ributing his quota; and this involves a greater expenditure of time than any member can at present possibly devote to such a purpose.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable J. GARDINER AUSTIN,

Colonial Secretary,

HONGKONG.

FREDERICK STEWART, Inspector of Schools,
