# MINUTES OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD
## APPOINTED TO EXAMINE THE GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL..
Tuesday, 18th-25th January, 1881.
Members of the Board :----
The Hon. NG CHOY.
Rev. Dr. CHALMERS.
Rev. R. LECHLER.
P. R. SMITH, Esq.*
Dr. Wong, and
Dr. EITEL.
Dr. CHALMERS said that he presumed the
Inspector of Schools would ex officio act as Chairman, whereupon Dr. EITEL, as such, opened
the meeting by reading to the Board all the
documents in C.S.O. 29 of 1881 which ex-
plained how His Excellency the Governor came to appoint the Members of the Board as Examiners of the Government Central School on the present
occasion, after the Masters of the School had, without the knowledge of the Governor, begun
and nearly finished their own examination of the School. Dr. EITEL specially mentioned, that in 1879 the Governor had informed the Secretary
of State of his intention not to allow the continuation of the system of having the Central School
annually examined by its own Masters only, but that both in January 1880 and in January 1881
the examination was held in the same way as before, without the knowledge of the Governor,
until the circumstances detailed in C.S.O. 29 of
1881 drew His Excellency's attention to the matter.
Dr. EITEL further mentioned that after ordering
the Masters' own examination to be stopped, the Governor had been asked by the Acting Head
Master to allow the Masters to finish their
examination for their own satisfaction, but that
the Governor had decidedly refused to allow this
examination to be continued, as he wished the
present Board, appointed for the purpose, to
institute an independent examination of the
School de novo. With reference to the order of
the Governor that the Inspector of Schools should
arrange the preliminaries of the examination to
be held by the Board, Dr. EITEL laid before the
Board, and explained in detail, a scheme he had in consultation with Dr. STEWART and
drawn up,
the Acting Headmaster, Mr. ARTHUR, for the
examination of the Central School,-1stly in
English, 2ndly, in Chinese, and 3rdly, in certain
special subjects, on the basis of the provisions
laid down in the Grant-in-aid Schedule.
Dr. CHALMERS said that whatever the object
of the Governor might or might not have been
in ordering the examination by the teachers of
the School to be stopped and in appointing
separate Examiners, he wished to propose the
following resolution for adoption by the Board:--

"That we, finding the teachers of the Central School were in the middle of a process of examination, nearly finished, permit them to finish that, and then take further measures to test the Shool."
Dr. EITEL reminded Dr. CHALMERS that the documents he had read to the Board showed that the Governor had appointed the Board for the purpose of instituting an independent examination on the basis of the Grant-in-aid Scheme, and that the Governor had twice ordered the discontinuance of the Masters' examination.
Mr. NG CHOY said he would second Dr. CHALMERS' motion, in consideration of the shortness of time and of the difficulties in the way of the Board examining the boys independently.
Dr. EITEL stated that this resolution, if passed, would put the Head Master into a false position, necessitating his disobeying the explicit orders of the Governor.
Dr. CHALMERs asked if the Members of the Board were forbidden to put the questions again, which the Masters, orally or in writing, had aiready put, to the boys.
Dr. EITEL replied that the Members of the Board had been asked to conduct a new and independent examination on the basis of the Grant-in-aid Schedule, that the examination
begun by the Masters was not in accordance with the rules laid down in that Schedule, and that therefore the Board was not asked to finish what the Masters had begun and then to test
the School somehow, but to conduct an entirely
new and independent examination on the principles of the Grant-in-aid Schedule.
Dr. CHALMERS said that he maintained that, as
a Member of the Board, he was free to ask the
boys again the same questions which had been asked by the Masters, or which they were about
to ask. Dr. CHALMERS wished to know decisively
whether or not he and the other Members of the Board could do so.
Mr. NG CHOY said that when he seconded the
proposition he did not consider the words “permit
the Masters," and would suggest that Dr. CHAL
MERS should substitute the words "ask them to help us," in which case he would second Dr. CHALMERS' motion.
Dr. CHALMERS said what he wished was that the little portion of the examination held by the Masters which was left unfinished, be finished
for the convenience and help of the Board.
Mr. LECHLER remarked that the Board could not ask the Masters to continue an examination
which the Governor had twice ordered them to discontinue.
Dr. CHALMERS said he wished to amend his previous motion, and moved -----
"That we, finding the teachers of the Central School were in the midst of a process of examination, nearly finished, instruct them to finish that, and then take further measures to test the School.'
Mr. NG CHOY declined to second this resolution.
