A difficulty arose last term from some of the European students coming straight from their office and having nowhere to wait until the classes opened but it was met by setting apart a class-room as a waiting-room. The Chinese students would not object to the classes continuing as late as 10 and if teachers wish to give lesson to Chinese students from 9 to 10 we see no objection though we do not think teachers should be asked to do so in the ordinary course.

20. SCHOOL FEES.

The fees now charged are one dollar a month for the first class and fifty cents for a second, paid monthly. The collection of these fees is troublesome, the checking of them difficult, and we recommend an alteration. The year is divided by China New Year into two terms roughly of four months each and we recommend a uniform class fee of four dollars a term paid in advance, an allowance being made for students joining after the commencement of the term. The registration fee of five dollars refunded at the end of the year if the student attends regularly may be dispensed with. We do not think the proposed fee can be regarded as excessive nor ought it to deter any students from joining.
