THE KOON HEW FREE SCHOOL.

The annual report of the above school, at which the ceremony of distributing the prizes was performed on Friday lust by Mr. Lo Koon Ting, beurs that the institution was opened in Februnty, 1902. The number of boys enrolled during the year was 716. The average nightly attendance was 160. The number of actual working nights was 218. Four classes wero opened during the first half-year, but owing to the great increase in the number of applicants for admission, three more classes were opened $ after the summer holidays. The number of boys so repidly increased out of all proportion to my expectation (vaya Mr. Chen Hewan, the superintendent) that it is evident English education for the working classes of the Chinese comunity is urgently needed in this Colony.

The prize-list is as follows-Ist Class: Ist, Tong Cheung In (950); End, Tang Shing Cheung (watch); 3rd, Wong Man Yun (wutch); 4th.
