In spite of the numerous cases of Malarial Fever in the Colony, I am happy to be able to report, that the health of the scholars, in the past year, was quite up to the average, which is a matter for congratulation as our boys come from every part of the town from East to West Point.\n\n5. In April last two of our old scholars Messrs. CHAN CHING-KAI and LI TSUN-FAN were brought to the Colony by Dr. METERS, Superintendent of the \"David Manson Memorial Hospital, Takow in the island of Formosa; under whose instruction, they had been studying for two years, for the profession of European medicine. They underwent a preliminary examination in Materia Medica, Anatomy, Surgery, &c., by a Board composed of Representative Medical Practitioners in the Colony; and received very satisfactory certificates which inscribed on vellum were publicly presented by His Excellency in the Hall of this School.\n\n6. Our Senior Pupil Teacher, Mr. Lo Kir, was a candidate for the Government Scholarship: which was not awarded this year as neither candidate obtained the necessary number of marks. \"I take, however, this opportunity of recording my sense of the great benefits Lo Kir has derived from the course of study; as, too often, the acquirement of the scholarship and the residence in England are the only results that competitors appreciate; whereas, it is not too much to say, that by far the greatest benefits, derived from the establishment of the Scholarship, will always be enjoyed by the unsuccessful candidates, for their number, if this valuable Scholarship were properly contested, must naturally exceed the few distinguished successful Scholars.\n\n7. At the suggestion of Mr. BATEMAN, Head Master of the Hongkong Public School, Hongkong has been made a centre of the Cambridge Local Examination. The first examination was held in December, and though the results cannot be here before May, and I have no reason to be sanguine of their nature, I can already see the benefit of the extra study on our six candidates; five of whom entered for the Junior, and the other for the Senior Examination. It is also worthy of note, as a sign of the interest taken by Chinese parents in their sons' education, that, in no case, was any demur made about paying the seven dollars Entrance Fee.\n\n8. This year, I have instituted a Boys' Self-Supporting Lending Library. Money was advanced to procure books from England. A varied selection of Books for Boys, Novels, Works of History, Travel and Biography was made; a committee of the six senior boys was formed to control the Library, which was opened about the middle of October. The subscription was put at ten cents a month, and we have had an average of no less than 74 boys, mostly Chinese, subscribers monthly. We may expect great results in English Composition and in the acquirement of Colloquial English, when our boys find pleasure, in reading English Standard Authors, and in making acquaintance with the customs and conversation of every day English life, as represented in our leading novels.\n\n9. Six pupil teachers have been articled for a period of three years, with a security of one hundred dollars each, to provide the six additional Chinese Assistants that will be required in the New School.\n\n10. It was with considerable joy that all masters, boys, and friends of the School read His Excellency's statement at the opening of the Session of the Legislative Council, that the New School would be opened early in 1888. Two-thirds of the walls are already raised, and it is most earnestly to be desired, that no stone should be left unturned to admit of the new building being occupied after Chinese New Year, at the end of February, or early in March, next year. By this means the change would take place at the time of our annual promotions, and a better chance would be afforded for obtaining a full school; besides, the important consideration, of a complete year's study in the new subjects, would be secured.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nGEO.

The Anglo-Chinese Schools of the Government\nThe Anglo-Chinese Schools of the Government, located at Saiyingp'ún, Wántsai, Wongnaich'ung, Stanley, and Yaumáti, do not call for special remarks this year. The examinations of these schools showed fair results, which is the more to be appreciated as in those schools which are situated out of town, there is, with the exception perhaps of Stanley, little support given to the efforts of the Master by the villagers, who care far more for good Chinese teaching than for English. The inhabitants of Shaukiwán have been petitioning during the year 1887 for re-introduction of English teaching in their Vernacular School, but although another attempt in that direction has to be made, it is always done in the villages at the imminent risk of spoiling a good Vernacular School by changing it into a badly attended Anglo-Chinese School, especially in places like Shaukiwán where several Chinese dialects are represented among the people.\n\n## 14. Introduction of Arithmetic Teaching\nThose Government Schools and Aided Schools which hitherto gave a Chinese education, pure and simple, exclusively in the Chinese language and according to Chinese national methods, entered with the year 1887 upon a new phase of their existence, through the introduction of Arithmetic teaching, which is not only a striking departure from the groove of Chinese tradition but will prove the thin end of the edge for the introduction of class teaching, time table, mental training, and in short an approach to the methods and organization of a European School. For the present, the step taken in this direction is seemingly insignificant, and with one solitary exception, the teachers of all the Schools, including even the Aided Schools in the Villages, took this step cheerfully. At the beginning of the year, I supplied each Master with simple Addition and Multiplication Tables (in Chinese characters) and brief directions to teach all children under 10 years simple Addition, whilst the rest were to be taught both Addition and Multiplication. But I left it free to each Master to choose whatever method he might prefer, to use the Chinese abacus, to have sums done in writing, or to teach simply mental Arithmetic, in any way he pleased. The results obtained at the end of the year might be called satisfactory, had they not been gained, in almost all cases, at the expense of Geography teaching, which was generally neglected in proportion as Arithmetic teaching was cultivated. Not one Master taught the use of the European method of Arithmetic; most used the Chinese abacus. One Master boldly took the European system of notation and taught, beside Mental Arithmetic, also Addition, Subtraction, and Multiplication with the use of the blackboard and little wooden tablets (in the place of slates), making his children work out every sum in writing according to the European method. Another Master resolved to use no foreign method whatever but determined to teach Arithmetic strictly according to ancient Chinese models. So he took an old Chinese book, published some four centuries ago under the Ming dynasty, and actually taught his boys the four rules, and, in the case of the eldest class, he taught even the extraction of square root and cube root, with Chinese figures indeed but with the minutest adherence to the European method. In doing so, the Master gloried all the time in the notion that he was following exclusively Chinese principles, for he was blissfully unaware that his old Chinese book was the work of a Chinese pupil of **MATTHEW RICCI**. The next step that may be taken will be to supply each teacher with a simple manual for his guidance in teaching the four rules according to the European system of Arithmetic, and to do the same for the teaching of Chinese Geography.\n\n## 15. Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class I\nAs regards the Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class I, that is, Schools which give a Chinese education exclusively in the Chinese language, I subjoin a comparative Table exhibiting the results of the working of the Revised Scheme (of 1883) which came into operation in 1884. The aim of that revision was to increase the pensum of work to be done under the several Standards, to reduce the earning power of these comparatively inexpensive Schools, and, finally, to encourage the teachers to bring more children under instruction in the higher Standards without skipping the lower ones.\n\n### TABLE shewing the EFFECTS of REVISION of SCHEME (1883) on SCHOOLS in Class I\n| Standards | Number of Scholars examined in Schools in Class I | Amount earned by Passes (apart from Capitation Grant and Needle-work) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| | 1884 | 1885 | 1886 | 1887 | 1884 | 1885 | 1886 | 1887 |\n| I. | 76 | 128 | 271 | 872 | $146 | $160 | $462 | $654 |\n| II. | 657 | 789 | 652 | 639 | $3,124 | $3,052 | $2,496 | $2,464 |\n| III. | 470 | 446 | 474 | 487 | $3,208 | $2,196 | $2,184 | $2,100 |\n| IV. | 120 | 128 | 138 | 153 | $840 | $624 | $640 | $856 |\n| V. | 26 | 26 | 44 | 32 | $230 | $210 | $320 | $250 |\n| VI. | 2 | 9 | 11 | 13 | $24 | $108 | $120 | $108 |\n| Total | 1,251 | 1,476 | 1,590 | 1,696 | $7,572 | $6,350 | $6,222 | $6,432 |\n\n## 16. Analysis of the Table\nIt will be seen from the above Table that the amounts earned by these Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class I has increased from year to year, but the rate of increase has been far below the natural increase of the number of children in attendance. It will further be observed that there has been from year to year an increase in the number of children annually brought forward into the higher Standards. Thus, the main object of revising the Scheme in 1883 has been fairly attained. There is, however, another point in connection with the above Table that requires comment. It appears from the above figures, on taking an average of the last four years, that from 1884 to 1887, the average number of scholars annually examined in the successive Standards of the Schools in Class I was as follows: Standard I, 211 scholars; Standard II, 617; Standard III, 469; Standard IV, 135; Standard V, 32; and Standard VI, 9. At first glance, these figures appear to indicate that the children attending these Schools generally remain under instruction only some 3 or 4 years, that few stay in school 5 years, and that a very small proportion of children complete their course of education by reaching Standard VI. Now it is true indeed that, as a general rule, very few children, and especially very few girls, are left long enough in these purely Chinese Schools to finish their education there. But that does not prove that none of them continue their education in a higher Class of Schools. Chinese girls indeed are not sent to English Schools, and so far as they are concerned, the above figures undoubtedly prove that Chinese girls are, as a rule, removed from school before they reach the highest Standards. But the above figures must also be read in the light of the fact that the vast majority of boys attending these Chinese Schools in Class I pass on, after reaching Standard III or IV, into the Government Central School or into other English or Anglo-Chinese Schools (in Class IV of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme) to learn English there, whilst continuing, privately or in those Anglo-Chinese Schools, to keep up that Chinese knowledge obtained by them in the lower Standards of those Primary Chinese Schools in Class I. In other words, the above figures, whilst indicating a defect in the education of Chinese girls, show also, in the case of boys, that those Primary Chinese Schools in Class I act as the natural feeders of our Middle Class Schools, so far as the Chinese population is concerned, and that in their case, a sound knowledge of the vernacular is now generally made the preliminary stepping stone for reaching a sound English education. The same important principle has been recognized also, as I have shown in former Reports, by the Portuguese community in this Colony. It is a principle which is now in India persistently urged upon educationists, since it has been generally recognized that the preservation of the vernacular in all Classes of Schools is required in order that the mental progress of the scholar may be reflected in his increased power to make use of his own language.\n\n## 17. Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class III\nThe Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class III (Basel and Berlin Missions) continue to show good results. In these Schools, which give a European education (to Chinese Girls) in the Chinese language, a laudable tendency has of late set in, to confine the use of the Romanized system of writing Chinese within reasonable limits and to teach in the higher Standards as much as possible of the written Chinese character. Evidence of the beneficial effect of this movement presented itself in a marked manner at the examinations held at the end of the year 1887. Formerly, showy results in Chinese composition and letter writing were obtained, in the Romanized character, in these Schools, but, through comparative neglect of the use of the written Chinese character, children who passed successfully Standard VI were generally left unable to read or write an ordinary Chinese letter or simple bill for goods bought or sold. At the last examinations, I noticed in this respect a great change for the better. The Chinese girls in these Schools are, for instance, still taught to write in good colloquial prose (Romanized) answers to searching questions in the history of Babylonia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, but they are now also gaining proficiency in writing simple prose or ordinary letters in the common Chinese character. It is to be regretted that the history teaching of these Schools excludes at present, for want of a suitable manual, the history of China. But as, besides History, also Arithmetic (as far as decimal fractions) and Geography are added in these Schools to the ordinary subjects of an elementary Chinese education, it must be admitted that the wide range of education given in these Schools is eminently satisfactory, and does credit to the Basel and Berlin Missions.\n\n## 18. Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class IV\nThe Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class IV have made extraordinary progress in the year 1887. I referred in the previous year's Report to the stimulus which had been given to the educational movement in this Colony by the introduction (at the instance of Mr. C. J. **BATEMAN**, Headmaster of the Hongkong Public School) of the system of non-gremial examinations conducted by the Syndicate of the University of Cambridge. I expected this measure to exercise, in time, a great and healthful influence towards raising the standard of English education in the Colony. I apprehended also certain drawbacks, temptations, and dangers to attach themselves to this as to every other strong stimulative measure. Surveying now the educational work of the year 1887, I certainly see, even at present, some of the drawbacks I referred to, but the suddenness and the extent of the healthful impulse which the introduction of the Cambridge Local Examinations gave, in the year 1887, to the study of the higher branches of an English education, has surpassed all my expectations. There was hitherto only one School, the Diocesan Home and Orphanage, which, during the last 5 years, annually took up three of the special subjects of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, viz., Algebra, Euclid, and Physical Geography. But in 1887, suddenly 5 other Schools, St. Joseph's College, the two Victoria English Schools (including even a Girl's School), St. Paul's College (Anglo-Chinese School), and the Hongkong Public School,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-238 - Governor Des Voeus - 1888 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 341792, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-245 - Acting Governor Fleming - 1890 [5-7]", "page_number": 175, "title": "CO129-245 - Acting Governor Fleming - 1890 [5-7]", "content_text": "172\n\nheld in Hongkong, I have the honour to inform you that in a letter dated the 6th instant the Crown Agents were requested to pay the amount due for the Hongkong Scholarship Examination held in 1888, and to meet all similar charges in future out of Colonial Funds, the Secretary to the Syndicate being at the same time asked to apply to the Syndicate for fees, and to inform Government of the fact that the outstanding amount due drew attention.

The general tone of the School and the relations existing between the scholars and the teachers are highly commendable.\n\n3\\. As to the suggestion made in the enclosed report regarding the appointment of an additional pupil-teacher, which even now seems much needed, I will make a recommendation in a separate document as soon as the School re-assembles after the Chinese New Year's holidays, when it will be seen more clearly what addition to the staff will be required on account of increased attendance.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nThe Honourable W.

EITEL,\nInspector of Schools.\n\n## REPORT, 1891.\n\n**GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS**\n\nSIR,—I have the honour to submit to you the Second Annual Report of the Government Central School for Girls, for the year 1891.\n\n### I.—Resumé of the School's Aims and Progress.\n\nThis School was opened on 1st March, 1890, for the purpose of providing class English education for the daughters of Eurasian, European, Indian, and Chinese residents in this Colony.\n\nThe staff consisted of:\n| Position | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1) | An English trained certificated Mistress. |\n| (2) | An Assistant Mistress (Chinese). |\n| (3) | A Teacher of Chinese. |\n\nIn the first month (March, 1890), 34 pupils were enrolled, and at the end of December, 1890, there were 45 children in regular attendance.\n\nThe year 1891 closed with the number of 87 scholars on the register, showing an increase of more than 50 per cent. The regularity of the attendance is most satisfactory.\n\nSubjoined is a list of the average attendance for January to December, 1891.\n| Month | Average Attendance |\n| --- | --- |\n| January | 39.3 |\n| March | 56.5 |\n| April | 52.5 |\n| May | 55 |\n| June | 59 |\n| July | 61 |\n| August | 58.5 |\n| September | 51.4 |\n| October | 64 |\n| November | 64.9 |\n| December | 69.39 |\n\nThe above numbers will speak for themselves of the rapid development of the School and that it evidently supplies a need of the Colony.\n\nTill August, Miss WARD resigned her duties as Headmistress of the School, and the undersigned took her place on 1st September, 1891.\n\n### II.—Work of the year.\n\nThe School is in two divisions—Upper and Lower. The former consists of the more advanced English-speaking girls, and these are taught by the Headmistress, who is now assisted by a Pupil-teacher.\n\nThe instruction given consists of Reading, Arithmetic, English Composition, Grammar and Analysis, Geography, Map Drawing, History, and Needlework.\n\nThe Lower Division is in charge of the Chinese Assistant Mistress, by whom they are taught English Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and Dictation.\n\nThe study of classical Chinese, which is taught by the Chinese teacher to the Headmistress, is optional.\n\n### III.—Suggested Improvements.\n\nShould the number of pupils continue to increase as they have done during the past year (and there is every probability that it will be so), the present building will be quite inadequate to accommodate a larger number, the space at the present time being very limited.\n\nThe want of a play-ground is also a great drawback, as there is no means of giving physical exercises, this being almost indispensable in giving a healthy tone to the School.\n\nThe appointment of an additional pupil-teacher is desirable to assist the Chinese Mistress in the Lower School, as it is impossible for one person to give efficient teaching to so large a number.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nELIZABETH ANNIE BATEMAN.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-254 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1892 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 351431, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-258 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [1-4]", "page_number": 346, "title": "CO129-258 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [1-4]", "content_text": "Enclosure\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nNo. 93\n\n54\n\n345\n\nfor the year\n\n1892.\n\nI have the honour to be, My Lord Marquess, Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,\n\nWilliam Robinson\n\nREPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS FOR 1892,\n\n# Laid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor, on the 25th January, 1893.\n\nNo. 5.\n\nEDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG. 20th January, 1893.\n\nSIR—I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of the Government Central School for Girls for the year 1892.\n\n2. I entirely concur with the observations of the Headmistress, Mrs. BATEMAN, to whose patient industry and wise discretion the success so far obtained is largely due. The Annual Examination has shown satisfactory results as stated in the enclosed report. Good progress has been made in both the English and Chinese classes, and the moral tone of the whole School has been considerably raised.\n\n3. The School is in urgent need of enlarged accommodation and a corresponding increase in the staff, but, I am afraid, both these wants will have to remain unsatisfied until the close of the present year when the building, now in course of construction at the expense of the Honourable E.

EITEL, Ph.D., Inspector of Schools.\n\nGOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS, HONGKONG, 20th January, 1893.\n\nSir—I have the honour to forward the Third Annual Report of the Government Central School for Girls.\n\nAt the close of the year 1892, there were 93 children in regular attendance. The present building is too small to accommodate more children without positive over-crowding. Teachers and scholars alike are therefore eagerly anticipating the comfort and advantages they will derive in the near future from the commodious and handsome new building now so rapidly nearing completion.\n\nAs many as 139 children have been entered on the Register during the year and attended for some time. Some, however, remained in the School but a short period. This is chiefly owing to the fluctuating character of that portion of the population of Hongkong for which this School is specially intended. The attendance of those whose parents remain in the Colony has been most regular, and their diligence very satisfactory. The School is periodically visited and annually examined by the Inspector of Schools, and the results of the examination have been pronounced satisfactory, particularly in English Grammar, Composition, Arithmetic, and History. The Chinese classes, attendance at which is optional, have been appreciated by the parents, but it is difficult to find suitable teachers for girls. The needlework classes, for both English and Chinese work, have been well attended, and special tuition has been secured for Chinese embroidery, for which there is great demand.\n\nIt is evident that the School has made some progress in its several divisions, and particularly in the infant department. Judging from the fact that all classes of the community are now represented among the scholars, and that the attendance is on a level with the capabilities of our accommodation and staff, I am satisfied that the School is popularly appreciated as answering a public want. Nevertheless, I feel that the development of the School has been somewhat interfered with by various difficulties it encountered during the year. There have been several changes in the teaching staff. In April, Mrs. LEONG, Assistant Mistress of the Lower School, and MILLY LEONG, pupil teacher of the same, resigned their positions. These vacancies were most ably filled by Mrs. Davis and LIZZIE TURNER, respectively. In December, greatly to my regret, Mrs. DAVIS also resigned in order to accept an appointment in Singapore, which had been offered to her, and which she felt gave her a wider sphere of usefulness. Mrs. TUTCHER, a Certificated Infant Mistress, has been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. Davis. Similar changes have occurred also in the Chinese department of the School. The progress and expansion of the Institution have naturally been impeded by these fluctuations in the Staff and in the attendance of the School.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nThe Honourable G. T. M. O'BRIEN, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary, &c. &c.\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nE. A.

At the same time, however, I am directed to add that, in the opinion of the Board of Trade, no suitable opportunity should be lost for urging on the Chinese Government the desirability of putting an end to the present double system, which acts as a serious hindrance to the development of British trade.\n\nWith reference to this matter, I am directed to acknowledge receipt of a Memorandum by Mr. Jamieson inclosed in your letter of the 12th instant.\n\nWhile Mr. Jamieson's suggestions deserve careful consideration, the Board are not quite clear that they afford a solution which would at once protect the Chinese Customs revenue and give satisfaction to British traders.\n\nThe Board are fully aware of the difficulties attending any effort to procure an alteration in the existing state of things, but they fear that no really satisfactory arrangement for inland navigation in China will be found practicable until there is a uniform system of Customs and li-kin collection.\n\nI am, &c.

The salary which Mr. Brewin recommends for this second Assistant Mistress is $115 a month, rising by triennial increments of $20 to $155 a month; but, in view of the fact that, acting on the suggestion contained in paragraphs 7 and 8 of Mr. Brewin's letter of the 8th December, I have decided that the school fees should, after the Summer holidays, be raised from 50 cents to $1.50 a month, the increase of expenditure involved by the appointment of an additional European teacher will be almost, if not entirely, covered.\n\n3. The question of the salary of the Headmistress and first Assistant is also necessarily raised. The Inspector of Schools recommends that the salary of Mrs. Bateman, the Headmistress, should be increased.\n\n**The Right Honourable JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,**", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-304 - Governor Sir Blake - 1901 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 380153, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-304 - Governor Sir Blake - 1901 [1-4]", "page_number": 395, "title": "CO129-304 - Governor Sir Blake - 1901 [1-4]", "content_text": "389 \n\nto arrange the duties of the staff in such a way as to ensure each class receiving competent instruction.\n\n3 \n5. At present the Headmistress's time is altogether occupied in teaching the three upper classes and she is therefore prevented from supervising in any way the work of the rest of the school, and the other duties of her post have to be performed outside school hours. This is not as it should be. There is no doubt that the Headmistress should teach, but she ought to have time to spare for other no less important duties and if half her time is taken up with teaching her own class, that is ample.\n\n6. Then the question of leave must be taken into consideration. At present if one of the senior members of the staff goes on leave it is impossible to carry on the work of the school satisfactorily. There is no doubt that the work of the Junior Division of the school has suffered considerably during the last two years owing to first Mrs. Tutcher and then Mrs. Bateman being absent on leave. But if these two teachers take the leave which has been fixed as what is necessary to enable Government servants to retain their efficiency, the school has for one third of the time only one European teacher and her whole time is occupied in class teaching.\n\n7.

The Vernacular School at Tangiungchau will be superseded by the new Anglo-Chinese School, and the salary and examination grant of the Master $180 be struck out. I recommend a similar economy at the expense of the Pokfulam School, of $168. The School is not very efficient, and an efficient teacher cannot be got for the salary offered.

On Mrs. Bateman's retirement, which I understand will take place in 1905, I think that considerable economies may be effected in the staffing of the school. It will be remembered that early in 1901 the salaries of the Mistresses were considered, and greatly increased. Then a quite unexpected addition was made to these increased salaries, amounting to 25%, by the doubling of Exchange Compensation. A reduction of about 25% would therefore seem justifiable, as occasion arises; and it would establish a sort of proportion between the salaries of men and women teachers, the proportion of 4 to 8, which considering the market value of such services, is about what it should be.

A pupil-teacher has been sanctioned on $15.

Under the New Code the large sum of $40,000 is expended on the sole recommendation of the Inspector of Schools on the result of his inspections of the Schools throughout the year. It is therefore extremely important that careful records of each visit, and there are over 200 such visits made during the year, should be kept. I have tried but find it quite impossible to do this with only one clerk.

A new school, built and furnished by Mr. E. R. Belilios, was erected on the site of the Government Central School, and was formally presented to the Government in December 1893. A steady increase in the number of girls necessitated additional classrooms, and an annexe known as the New Building was opened in December 1913.\n\nFurther alterations and extensions were carried out in 1921 to meet the growing demand for accommodation. At the present time, (1927), there are 25 classrooms in the school with accommodation for 600 pupils.\n\nThe Head Mistress in 1890 was Miss Mann; Miss Ward succeeded her in September 1890. Mrs. Bateman was Head Mistress from 1891 to 1906, when she retired. She was succeeded by Mrs. Tutcher, 1906-1918. Miss Clarke was Head Mistress from 1918 to 1924. The present Head Mistress is Miss Skinner.\n\n## Organisation\n\nPrior to 1908, the Belilios Public School consisted of two distinct schools, the English Side being under the supervision of the Head Mistress, and the Vernacular side under a Vernacular Head Master. By slow degrees the teaching of English as a language subject was introduced into the Lower School, while the Chinese girls in the Upper School learnt Chinese for an hour a day. In 1913 the dual control of the school was abolished, Mrs. Tutcher, as Head Mistress, being placed in charge of the whole school. The present system is that Class Subjects are taught in the Chinese language for the first five years of school life, (i.e., in Standards I, II, III, Classes 8, 7) and English is taken as a language subject. In the transition Classes, English and Chinese are taken in the ratio of six to three. In Classes 6-1, English is the medium of instruction, and Chinese is studied by the Chinese girls three to four hours each week.\n\nClass I prepares for the Matriculation and Senior Local Examination of the Hong Kong University, and Class 2 for the Junior Local.\n\nThe whole school is examined twice a year by the Senior Staff in English and by the Vernacular Staff in Chinese, and is inspected by the Inspector of English Schools.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-498-21 Government Educational department- salaries- prospects and vacancies 15-7-1926 - 25-1-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 514720, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-509-8 Military Contributions- claim for relief 24-2-1928 - 15-12-1928", "page_number": 18, "title": "CO129-509-8 Military Contributions- claim for relief 24-2-1928 - 15-12-1928", "content_text": "ong. regd. on. 52859/28\n\n52882/28.\n\nPlace\n\n119/Abd/745 (F.1.)\n\nThe War Office,\n\n21\n\n1 Whitehall, S.W.1.\n\n15th December, 1928.\n\nDear Beckett,\n\nThe £114,000 odd, now the subject of a cause célèbre between Hong Kong and us (your reference, if you need one, is 52,859/28 of May 12th last) has had another adventure and turned up in the Colonial Military Lands Account.

That project was dropped and the Command were told to merge the special Reprovision Account with the Military Lands Account. They had, however, already posted the £114,000 to the Reprovision Account; thus without more ado it has turned up in the Military Lands Account and the item has been promptly disputed by the Colony. It has nothing to do with Military Lands and the Command have been instructed to delete the item.\n\nWe are letting you know lest the Colony should write to you about it.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(Signed) A.

Articles, paragraphs, or cuttings dealing with matters of interest to women generally will be welcomed. Every effort will be made to return unsuitable MSS. if stamped addressed envelope be enclosed, but the Editor cannot be responsible in case of loss.\n\nTHE KING'S SPEECH\n\nThe new Session of Parliament was opened by the King in State last Tuesday.\n\nThe text of the King's Speech expressed the hope that the forthcoming World Economic Conference would ease the present economic situation, and that the Disarmament Conference would attain the greatest possible measure of general disarmament. Reference was made to the third Indian Round Table Conference. Careful supervision over public expenditure, both national and local, was stated to be necessary. The promise was made that the Government would continue to do everything in their power to stimulate the recovery of trade and that further plans would be taken to enable agriculture as a whole to take its proper place in the economy of the nation.\n\nUnemployment, the gravest of our social problems, was specially mentioned. The fact that many young men and women had never in their lives had an opportunity of regular employment was referred to, and notice was given of the Government's intention to bring forward measures dealing comprehensively with Unemployment Insurance and the treatment of those unable to obtain work.\n\nA promise was made of the introduction of Bills relating to Scotland to amend the procedure governing private legislation, to facilitate the administration of civil justice, and for other purposes.\n\nIt was further stated that measures dealing with Rent Restriction, London Passenger Transport, and other matters of importance will be introduced and proceeded with as time and opportunity offer.\n\nA WOMAN'S NATIONALITY\n\nMrs. Grace Tyndall, of Newent, near Gloucester, was summoned last week for failing to register as an alien.\n\nShe married in 1910, and both she and her husband were British subjects. In October, 1931, the husband obtained a certificate of naturalisation in America, and became an American citizen. He returned to this country in July this year, registered as a foreigner, and was given certain instructions as regards his wife. Mrs. Tyndall, however, refused to register, and told the court that if she registered as an alien she really became a woman without a country. She had been to the American Consul, and he told her she was not an American, and the British Consul said she could get no help from him. \"In time of war I can look nowhere for help. My property would be interned, and I should be turned into the streets.\" Mrs. Tyndall said she had written to the Home Office to see whether it was possible for her to return to her nationality, but had received a reply in the negative. She was not an illiterate foreigner. She said, \"I am British, and will not give up my country. I have never signed the oath of allegiance to America, and I never will.\"\n\nThe chairman of the bench said Mrs. Tyndall had been guilty of an offence, and would be fined 20s., or seven days. Her father, an ex-police sergeant, advised her to do the seven days. We only wish that every British woman married to a foreigner would refuse to register as an alien in this country, refuse to pay any fine, and elect to go to prison for any length of time the court might impose. Nationality is a fundamental right, and it is monstrous that it should be taken away from any adult person without that person's consent.\n\nMUITSAI IN HONG KONG\n\nOn July 15th last we reported in THE VOTE that Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in reply to a question by Mr. Rhys Davies (Lab., Westhoughton), declared that the mui-tsai system in Hong Kong had now been abolished; that the girls who were mui-tsai had been registered, and their status changed to that of free paid domestic workers.\n\nLast week we received at this office several Press cuttings from the \"South China Morning Post,\" dated August 4th, August 13th, September 8th, September 22nd, September 29th, and October 6th, reporting prosecutions for not registering mui-tsai, for ill-treating them, and in one case for selling a girl into prostitution. All these cases were brought into court by a man inspector, and the extraordinary thing is that the fines imposed were so inadequate—50 dollars being the biggest sum mentioned. A Hong Kong dollar is worth 1s. 3d., so that a 50 dollar fine can hardly be looked upon as a deterrent for slave owning in the British Colony of Hong Kong. At the present time there is only one inspector (a European police officer), who has two Chinese women assistants, to deal with abuses of this character. It is estimated that there must be quite 20,000 mui-tsai in the colony, though only about 4,000 are registered. It seems to us that a trained British woman inspector ought at once to share in the work of securing the complete abolition of this mui-tsai system, both for the sake of the children and for the credit of this country. We cannot wholeheartedly rejoice in the anti-slavery centenary celebrations when there is this slavery of children in a British Crown Colony.\n\nWe would also draw attention to another point. So-called \"adopted daughters\" have never been registered to this day, and apparently by the law of Hong Kong it is legal to buy a girl for bona fide adoption, as the following extract from a letter sent out by the Colonial Office under date February 18th, 1932, will show:\n\nEvery person who takes any part, or attempts to take any part, in any transaction the object or one of the objects of which is to transfer or confer, wholly or partly, the possession, custody, or control of any minor under the age of eighteen years for any valuable consideration shall be deemed to be guilty of an offence against this section, unless such person proves beyond reasonable doubt that the transaction was bona fide and solely for the purpose of a proposed marriage or adoption, in accordance with Chinese custom.\n\nLeading authorities are agreed that there is no such bona fide adoption of girls under existing conditions in Hong Kong. We urge, therefore, that the registration of adopted daughters shall be enforced forthwith, as these transactions are merely a subterfuge for obtaining mui-tsai as in the past. Obviously, too, the present registration of mui-tsai is glaringly incomplete. We call the attention of the Colonial Office to the fact that the system of mui-tsai in Hong Kong has by no means been abolished, and we recommend that effective steps be taken to ensure the immediate registration of all mui-tsai and \"adopted daughters\" in the colony, a much more thorough system of inspection of the houses where they are lodged, and the imposition of far heavier penalties on those who infringe the law.\n\nGREEN, WHITE AND GOLD FAIR, 1932\n\nAn unusually fine attendance on the first day, and the news of Amy Johnson's triumph on the second, added to the spirit of success which pervaded this year's Fair.\n\nIn contrast to the November gloom outside, Caxton Hall was gay with banners full of significance to many present, and attractively decorated stalls. On Thursday afternoon the proceedings opened with the particularly apt song by Miss Marjorie Bagge, \"Lads and Lasses, Won't You Buy?\"\n\nIn presiding, our President, Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence, read a telegram from Mrs. Hilton Philipson, deeply regretting that the alteration of a matinee at Bristol prevented her from opening the Fair. Our President was, therefore, not only chairman, but opener. Suffragettes, she said, were well trained to rise to emergencies, and in the spirit of the verse,\n\n\"I am the cook and the captain bold\n\nAnd the mate of the Nancy Brig,\n\nAnd the seamen bright and the midshipmite\n\nAnd the crew of the captain's gig.\"\n\nshe would endeavour to combine both functions.\n\nMrs. Pethick-Lawrence explained how good it was to-day to belong to the Women's Freedom League. While everywhere else there was a lack of continuity, in our League, where the Green, White and Gold Fair, Mrs. Despard's birthday party, the Annual Conference, and so forth took place year after year, we had the solid earth beneath our feet.\n\nEvery woman who had taken part in the fight for the vote had played a part in the emancipation of women in all parts of the world. The phenomenal progress made by Turkish women in the last ten years is part of this revolution.\n\nThe present position of the world is unstable. When the new world is evolved the work women are doing will tell; the full harvest of our sowing we shall never know.\n\nMrs. Pethick-Lawrence expressed warm thanks to all who had helped in the work of the Fair, and most of all to Miss Berry, our Honorary Fair Organiser.\n\nMiss Underwood maintained that the members of the Women's Freedom League were not downhearted when they contrasted the position of women at the time the League was founded and the position to-day.\n\nThe closing of the first Session of Parliament brought the next General Election one year nearer. We needed more branches and greater strength in our branches, so that when the opportunity came we could help to secure the return of more women members.\n\nThe Reform of the House of Lords was under consideration. The Women's Freedom League wanted women in that House on the same terms as men.\n\nWe were urging that reference to the nationality of married women should be made in the King's Speech; we were delighted to learn that a British woman married to an American had chosen to go to prison rather than pay a fine for not registering as an alien.\n\nThe Women's Freedom League claim equal political, economic, and social status with men.\n\nMrs. Ward made an urgent appeal for more subscribers to THE VOTE—a paper packed with interesting news concerning women in all parts of the world.\n\nA hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence was proposed by Dr. Knight, seconded by Mrs. Dore, and carried enthusiastically.\n\nOn Friday the chair was taken by Mrs. Sadd Brown. She felt it an honour, she said, to be presiding at a Fair organised by the Women's Freedom League—a League which pursued a line of continuity and never forsook its ideals. The Women's Freedom League worked with a resolute persistence, its activities were always going on, and although the world might know little about this work, it received the benefit. The League was able to carry on because of its unflagging courage and dogged determination.\n\nThe Hon. Mrs. Franklin said she had been studying Ruth Drapper's delightful sketch on how to open a fair, and would proceed accordingly.\n\nAlthough not a member of the Women's Freedom League, she had a great respect for our First President, Mrs. Despard, and for THE VOTE, which, in her opinion, entirely fulfilled the requirements of a feminist paper. She congratulated the editor on the attention given to the new avenues opening up to women.\n\nThe paper was small, handy, and concise, and gave just the information wanted.\n\nAt the moment there was a certain wave of pessimism concerning the future. One reason women had always wanted to help in world affairs was to procure peace. Public opinion was now behind the Government in asking for peace.\n\nIf anything had been learnt during the last years it was that no nation was sufficient unto itself; it was ridiculous for one nation to fight another. Women wanted the vote for no other reason than to be in a position to fulfil their duties. Mrs. Franklin hoped that women would work in truth for the betterment of the world. Now, like Ruth Drapper's lady, she would declare the Fair open.\n\nMiss Underwood said how proud we were of the achievement of Amy Johnson. She then briefly recapitulated the aims of the Women's Freedom League, and stressed the importance of the appointment of women to administrative posts that they might fit themselves for office at the League of Nations.\n\nMrs. Ward made a spirited appeal for subscribers to THE VOTE. Miss Anna Munro proposed a vote of thanks to all speakers, and Mrs. Whetton, in seconding, said that until women had equal opportunities with men they would not be able to give of their best to the community.\n\nRound the Stalls\n\nBRENTFORD AND CHISWICK STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Watling, Mrs. Yeomans, Mrs. Fairley, Mrs. Haines, Mrs. Tubbs, Mrs. Jinks, and Mrs. Hurrell, is to be complimented on a fine display of delicious confectionery made by Mrs. Watling.\n\nGOLDERS GREEN STALL, in the charge of Miss Aickman, Mrs. and Miss Muriel Pierotti, and Mrs. Stammers, had a good assortment of aluminium ware and brushes.\n\nHAMPSTEAD STALL, in the charge of Miss Lyndon, Miss Trotter, and Miss James, had a varied collection of dainty and useful handkerchiefs.\n\nHIGHBURY STALL, supported by Bradford Branch, in the charge of Mrs. Bateman, Miss Beatrice and Miss Marie Bateman, made a good show with a variety of useful articles, each for the small sum of 1s.\n\nMINERVA CLUB BRANCH STALL, in the charge of Miss M. I. Neal, Mrs. Surrey Dane, and Mrs. Evans had a good show of hosiery and general goods.\n\nMID-LONDON AND BARNSBURY STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Anderton and Mrs. Potter, gave a speciality of hand-made waste-paper baskets and bags made by Miss Horniman, and had a good assortment of stationery.\n\nPORTSMOUTH STALL, in the charge of Mrs. Whetton, Mrs. Brading, and Mrs. Curtis, made a special feature of initialled towels, and had a good collection of household linen.\n\nSOUTH-EASTERN STALL, in the charge of Miss White and Miss Bentley, is to be specially congratulated on a display of Rye pottery, made and presented by a Rye member. It also had a good show of dainty shopping-lists, handsome silk scarves, hand-made baskets, and Japanese goods.\n\nSCOTTISH AND NORTHERN BRANCHES STALL, in the charge of Miss Anna Munro, Mrs. Graves, and Mrs...\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-539-3 Mui Tsai system 8-2-1932 - 10-1-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 552265, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-559-13 Sir A.

PLANE \n## GOVERNOR WELCOMES FIRST ARRIVAL \n## INITIATES SERVICE TO HONGKONG \n## SIX PASSENGERS\n\nCarrying a full load of six passengers, a China National Airways Corporation flying boat arrived here yesterday at 2.45 p.m. and inaugurated the regular service between Shanghai, Hongkong, and Canton. It took off again for Canton at 2.40 p.m. after picking up three passengers here.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, the Hon. Commander G. F. Hole, Director of Air Services, Mr. A. J. R. Moss, Superintendent of the Airport, and a fairly large crowd welcomed the plane on its arrival, and later Mr. Dai Enki, Manager of the C.N.A.C., entertained the Governor and a few friends at a cocktail party in the lounge at Kai Tak.\n\nAt 2.30 p.m., His Excellency and Commander Hole arrived at the airport and were welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Moss, who escorted them to the slipway at the water's edge where a full view of the plane's landing could be secured. Before the grey and yellow Douglas Dolphin flying boat appeared in the south-eastern sky, a crowd of over 50 people had gathered.\n\n### Cocktail Party\n\nRunning right on schedule, the plane appeared at 2.40 p.m., circled the airport to come into the wind, and landed on the sea just off shore. It was a perfect landing and with a very short run which took the plane right up to the mooring buoy.\n\nThe passengers, including Mr. Dai Enki and Mr. Bixby, Far Eastern representative of Pan-American Airways, were transported from the plane to the slipway, where the Governor, Commander Hole, and a few friends greeted them. The party then went to the lounge where a cocktail party had been arranged by Mr. Eddy of the Peninsula Hotel for Mr. Dai.\n\nThose present at the party included Sir Andrew Caldecott, Captain Cragg, Mr. and Mrs. A. Moss, Mr. Nelson, Commander Hole, Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson, Mr. H. R. Butters, Mr. Curtis, Mr. Nixon, Mr. Randle, Mr. Y. J. Neyle, and Lt. Smith. His Excellency toasted the Chinese Posts, and Mr. Dai responded by toasting the Hongkong Posts.\n\n### The Passengers\n\nPassengers aboard the plane when it arrived included: Mr. Dai Enki, Manager of the C.N.A.C., Mr. Harold Bixby, of Pan-American Airways, Captain A. R. Williamson, O.B.E., D.S.C., Marine Superintendent at Shanghai of Messrs. Jardine Matheson and Company, Mr. M. Roux, of the Akskania Works, Berlin, Mr. T. M. Wong, and Mr. Van.\n\nMr. Roux is leaving Hongkong today on the `Dorado` for Penang, where he will transfer to the K.L.M. plane and fly back to Europe. He has flown here from Azaka, Japan. He flew from Azaka to Manchukuo, then to Peiping, to Shanghai, and thence to Hongkong. He plans to fly all the way back to Germany.\n\nThe three passengers who left here for Canton were Mr. F. A. Pollock, and Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Littig.\n\nPiloting the plane yesterday was Captain C. G. Sellars, one of the C.N.A.C.'s veteran pilots, who has already called in at Hongkong with C.N.A.C. planes nearly a dozen times. \"It was quite a routine and uneventful flight,\" he said. \"Calling here makes no real difference to us who pilot the machine except that our scheduled arrival at Canton is put back about half an hour.\" The assistant pilot was Mr. Paul Chen.\n\nPassengers aboard the plane declared that the trip was an excellent one and very smooth practically all the way.\n\n### Little Mail\n\nStrangely enough, philatelists did not seem to be particularly enthusiastic about sending letters by this first plane, and there were only about ten kilos of mail from Shanghai for Hongkong. Hongkong sent about 12 lbs. to Canton.\n\nAmong those present at the Airport to welcome the plane were:\n\n| Name | Designation/Association |\n| --- | --- |\n| His Excellency the Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott | Governor |\n| Captain W.
