POLICE SCHOOL, HONGKONG, 18th Jannury, 1870.

SIR-I have the honour to forward the Report of the Police Schools under my charge for the year ending 31st December, 1875.

2 During the past year, nothing has occurred worthy of very special comment, beyond some slight changes, which have been made with a view of extending the utility of the school. The chief of these was the re-establishment of the Anglo-Chinese class for Europeans, which has been as well attended as the duties of the Contables permitted. Six Cons- bles from the force have passed the Examination Board, and from enquiries made, 1 understand that over a dozen Cons- tables are continuing their Chinese studies, at the Out Stations, with a view of presenting themselves for examination.

Another of the changes referred to is that provision has been made for affording the Indian Constables an opportunity of Marning Chinese Colloquial. This has been attended with the happiest results. The Indians study this part of their work amore, as they have a keen appreciation of the benefits resulting from a knowledge of Chinese. With them, a beginning in many cases is all that is required, for their bargaming in the the market and their intercourse with the natives Ko extend their vocabulary, and give them a ready mastery over the dialect. The power which this gives to them as Constables is obvious.

Another change. Owing to the limited time allowed to the Chinese for study, their progress in English was rather low, notwithstanding the eagerness with which they applied themselves. They were always in the Alphabet. I have ccordingly devoted one-third of their school time, to the learning by rote of a series of selected sentences bearing more or less upon their duty; while at the same time not neglecting instruction in Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.

1. At the examinations held during the year, twenty-two of the Europeans have passed out, forty-three still remain. The great majority of these are unfortunately stationed at Out Stations, and this are beyond the reach of the selul. The mprovement in the education of the European Force, since I have known it. has been decidely marked. It is rare that tow I meet with men who are ignorant of the three " " ns I formely did; but besides, there has been gradually gon improvement in the quality of the education. Whether this is owing to existence of the Police School, or is the result effect of all these causes combined, it is hard to say, still the fact remains.
