Ministers of the Protestant Churches that instruction as to the evil effects of Opium smoking should be given in the Hongkong Schools, I am having paragraphs on this subject and on the use of alcohol added to the Hygiene Text-book.

4. The proportion of the total number of students in the Government and Assisted Schools that received instruction in Hygiene - about one-fourth - and the quality of the instruction, as evidenced by the representatives of 8 out of 10 Schools getting over 80 per centum of full marks in the examination on the advanced course and of the 3 best teams getting over 70 per centum of full marks in the examination on the elementary course, are satisfactory. The suggestions of the Inspector of Schools for next year's examination will be acted upon.

5. I propose, in future years, should Your Lordship have no objection, to meet Mr. Lyttelton's instruction as to furnishing a brief Annual Report on the progress made in the teaching of Hygiene, by directing the Inspector of Schools to embody paragraphs on the subject in his Annual Departmental Report.

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant, Officer Administering the Government.
