My Lord,

Referring to Mr. May's Despatch

No. 124 of the 10th. of May, 1907, I have the honour to

transmit six copies of the Report by the Examiners of

Queen's College on the examination held in July last year

Rondlosure 1.

Enclosure 2.

and six copies of the Head Master's Report on the College

for the year 1907.

2.

The total number of boys on the

roll of the College was 1,401 as compared with 1,418 during

the previous year; while the average daily attendance owing

to reasons explained in the 2nd. paragraph of Dr. Bateson

Wright's report fell from 1,005 in 1906 to 991.

3.

The total expenditure on the

College was $60,995 or $4,863 more than in the previous

year, due to the privileged rate at which Sterling and Ex-

-change Compensated Salaries were drawn; while the receipts

from School Fees amounted to $30,442.
