Colony. Consequently even the high fees paid by the parents (£10 and £4 per annum in the Upper and Lower Classes respectively) amount to a small proportion of the actual expenses for each boy. The aggregate expenses are considerable. The remedy for this difficulty is to throw the school open to all, not in name only but in fact, or to depend upon charitable collections which support all those schools in the Colony which teach non-Chinese children. Every year, a considerable portion of the grant, otherwise earned, is forfeit by Rule (M:14) of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme which requires 200 attendances of 4 hours each in the course of the year.

The remedy for this difficulty would be, either to raise the grant easily by charitable collections as at present, or to conduct the school as an exclusively Episcopalian school. The second difficulty is caused by the fact that, owing to peculiarities of climate and for reasons of health, it is necessary to raise the value of passes in schools under Classes I and II Grant-in-Aid scheme by 30 percent in each standard, or to reduce the number of daily attendances and to leave the value of passes unaltered. I prefer the latter course.
