District where they are situated, and will ensure

local interest. In fact, the system approximates

been so successful.

Another development which I earnestly

hope to see embodied in next year's Estimates is the provision for a medical officer to be attached to

the Department.

For many years the British schools have been inspected every term by a Government doctor, with the result that a great improvement is notice-

in the state of their teeth. The Boarding schools

in receipt of a Grant are also required to submit regular reports showing that they have been medical- -ly inspected. But until last year nothing has

been done for the Government schools for Chinese.

An inspection has now been begun at Queen's College, and has show that more than one-third

of the boys are suffering from defective eye- -sight. Recommendations have been made for the following up of this preliminary inspection and for the provision of spectacles. I now beg to recommend that a medical officer, fully qualified

as an occulist be attached to the Department.
