HEALTH.

That the health of children in Government Schools is good

is evidenced by the high average attendance as compared with total enrolment.

I attach extracts from the Report of the Medical Officer of Schools.

During the year, 2,552 children were examined, entrants and re-inspections. The percentage of defect, which remains steady year by year, being 37 in British and 44 in Chinese schools. Improvements recorded were rather more than 50%-

A very large proportion of the defect among Chinese children is vision defect which is treated more or less successfully, though most children, not being by any means entrants to school life when first medically inspected, are not seen early enough in their school career.
