The Committee is apparently unaware that one of the duties of the Head Master is in his frequent visits to classrooms to advise both English and Chinese masters, though naturally the latter receive most of his attention. I object to delegating my personal duties to my subordinates.

33. As to the suggestion (ibid) that no division should contain "more than 50 scholars reckoning by the average attendance." If this means that on opening day not more than 50 may occupy the 60 seats in a classroom, it will keep out 110 boys and entail loss to the revenue of $3,000 per annum, neither of which appears desirable. Otherwise, the existing system may be continued, for starting with 60, we get about an average of 50 per annum, whereas 50 as an opening attendance would yield an average of say 42.
