Dr. CHALMERS said he wished the papers be finished for his guidance, and said he wished to know why he should not be free to examine the School in any way he pleased, adding that if this was refused, he would not act on a Sub- Committee, but only on the general Board.
Mr. ARTHUR said he would obey any decision by a majority of the Board as if it were an order by the Governor,
Mr. SMITH said it was for the Governor to decide whether Dr. CHALMERS might set the boys to finish any paper previously prepared for them by the Masters, and suggested that the matter be submitted to the Governor as Dr. CHALMERS' OWN suggestion.
Mr. NG CHor said be did not see the necessity for the unfinished papers being given out to the boys to finish.
The meeting was then adjourned, the above Minutes having previously been read over and agreed to.
On re-assembling at 2:45 P.M., Dr. EITEL read to the Board the following Minute of the Governor :-
“I have read the Minutes of proceedings which, at the desire of the Examiners, have been communicated to me. The resolution proposed by Mr. SMITH, seconded by the Rev. Mr. LECHLER, and carried by 4 to 1, seems to me to be a very good one.
The examination can therefore proceed on the basis of that resolution.
(Signed)
“J. Pope HENNESSY.
18th January, 1881.”
Dr. CHALMERS stated that he had ascertained during the recess that nothing had been done by the Central School teachers with regard to the examination of the Chinese Classes, and that he would therefore now withdraw his objections and consent to act on the Sub-Committee.
It was then unanimously agreed that the Board proceed at once to the examination of the English Classes, and that for the purpose the Board divide itself into three Sub-Committees of two Examiners each, each Sub-Committee taking one of the Divisions of the Preparatory School and examining each boy according to the rules of the Grant-in-aid Scheme.
It was further agreed that the maximum of marks should be in Standard I,—40 for reading, 30 for writing and 30 for Arithmetic; in Standard II,—reading 80, writing 25, Arithmetic 25; that two-thirds of the marks be required for a pass in Arithmetic; that 2 mistakes be allowed in reading and writing 10 words in Standard I, and 20 words in Standard II, but that anything beyond that should be counted a failure; Dr. Wong and Mr. SMITH took the III Division, Dr. CHALMERS and Mr. NG CHor the II Division, Dr. LECHLER and Dr. EITEL the I Division.

Mr. SMITH then proposed the following resolution for acceptance by the Board :--
**That, having regard to the loss of time and to the inconvenience likely to be occasioned, more particularly to the pupils, by further delay, the Board proceed to examine the School on the basis of the Grant-in-aid Scheme as placed before us by Dr. EITEL, and approved by the Head Master, the Examiners having due regard to the circumstance that the School has already undergone a Masters' examination, now nearly concluded, and that the work of the School has not been carried on with a view to benefits to be derived under that Scheme, and that further the Examiners reserve to themselves the privilege of asking for the production of such examination papers and of taking such assistance from the teachers as may seem to them just and reasonable.”
Mr. LECHLER having seconded this resolution, Dr. CHALMERS said he was entirely opposed to it unless the papers already begun by the pupils of the School were completed by them.
Dr. EITEL asked if the examination papers were required by the Board as a basis for their examination, or merely to compare the results of these papers with the eventual results of a new and independent examination by the Board.
Dr. CHALMERS said he had already seen the papers, at least some of them.
The motion of Mr. SMITH being put to the vote, it was agreed to by all, with the exception of Dr. CHALMERS, who remarked he had doubts whether he would have time to go through this examination, and said that this was a violent proceeding: dangerous to the School.
The details of the scheme arranged by Dr. EITEL for the examination of the School in English were then formally accepted, the Acting Head Master, Mr. ARTHUR, having been called in and assured the Board that he had considered the details, in consultation with Dr. STEWART, who also agreed with him in saying that this scheme was fair to the School.
Dr. EITEL next explained the details of the scheme he had drawn up, in consultation with Dr. STEWART and Mr. ARTHUR, for the examination of the School in Chinese, and proposed that Dr. CHALMERS should conduct this examination, assisted by Mr. NG CHOY and Dr. WONG, as a Sub-Committee.
Dr. CHALMERS said that if the examination begun by the Masters was not to be finished first, he would decline to act on a Sub-Committee.
Dr. EITEL then read the list he had prepared, in consultation with Dr. STEWART and Mr. ARTHUR, of the special subjects in which some of the classes were to be examined, and proposed that the Government Analyst, Mr. Huen MACCALLUM, should be invited to assist the Board in the examination of the Chemistry Classes. This proposal was agreed to by all the Members of the Board.
The Acting Head Master, in reply to a question, stated that if he were asked to produce the finished and unfinished papers of the Masters' examination, he would produce them at once.

Mr. SMITH then proposed the following resolu-
tion for acceptance by the Board :--
**
That, having regard to the loss of time and
to the inconvenience likely to be occasioned, more
particularly to the pupils, by further delay, the
Board proceed to examine the School on the basis
of the Grant-in-aid Scheme as placed before us
by Dr. EITEL, and approved by the Head Master,
the Examiners having due regard to the circum-
stance that the School has already undergone a Masters' examination, now nearly concluded, and that the work of the School has not been carried
on with a view to benefits to be derived under that Scheme, and that further the Examiners
reserve to themselves the privilege of asking for the production of such examination papers and
of taking such assistance from the teachers as may seem to them just and reasonable.”
Mr. LECHLER having seconded this resolution,
Dr. CHALMERS said he was entirely opposed to it
unless the papers already begun by the pupils of the School were completed by them.
Dr. ETTEL asked if the examination papers
were required by the Board as a basis for their
examination, or merely to compare the results of these papers with the eventual results of a new
and independent examination by the Board.
Dr. CHALMERS said he had already seen the
papers, at least some of them.
The motion of Mr. SMITH being put to the vote,
it was agreed to by all, with the exception of Dr. CHALMERS, who remarked he had doubts whether he would have time to go through this examina tion, and said that this was a violent proceeding: dangerous to the School.
The details of the scheme arranged by Dr. EITEL for the examination of the School in English
were then formally accepted, the Acting Head
Master, Mr. ARTHUR, having been called in and
assured the Board that he had considered the
details, in consultation with Dr. STEWART, who
also agreed with him in saying that this scheme
was fair to the School.
Dr. EITEL next explained the details of the
schere he had drawn up, in consultation with
Dr. STEWART and Mr. ARTHUR, for the examina-
tion of the School in Chinese, and proposed
that Dr. CHALMERS should conduct this examina-
tion, assisted by Mr. NG CHOY and Dr. WONG,
as a Sub-Committee.
Dr. CHALMERS said that if the examination be- gun by the Masters was not to be finished first,
he would decline to act on a Sub-Committee.
Dr. EITEL then read the list he had prepared,
in consultation with Dr. STEWART and Mr. AR-
THUR, of the special subjects in which some of the classes were to be examined, and proposed
that the Government Analyst, Mr. Huen
MACCALLUM, should be invited to assist the Board in the examination of the Chemistry
Classes. This proposal was agreed to by all the Members of the Board.
The Acting Head Master, in reply to a question,
stated that if he were asked to produce the finished
and unfinished papers of the Masters' examina- tion, he would produce them at once.
