Mr. GEO PIERCY, the headmaster, then road the annual report of the school, as follows:-

Wo Aro thankful to be able to report that the past year has been in inany respects the most succesful the school has ever hut. The health of the establishment has been good and there has been an almost total absence of malarial fever. This is probably due mosquitous by training the mullabe, and to the little earth-cutting in the neighbourhood for new buildings. Great care is paid to sanitary arrangements and the health of the boys. There has lately been an outbreak of mumps. Our thauke ure dna to Dr. Bell and Dr. Laing, of the Civil Hospital, who hava most kindly attended to boys na in and out-patients, and to Dr. Kew for dental services.

During the summer months the boys went once or twice a week by steam launch for sea-balbing neighbouring beactos and swimming, and greatly enjoyed these outings. The season

provided. At the Hongkong Regatio in December, our boat's crew, trained by an old boy (Mr. A. J. Mackie) came in first in the School Race, amidat mach applause. Through the generosity, of another old boy (Mr. H. Hastings, of Forniosa) we were able to have a launch to witness this Bnd other eventa. In cricket, tbe school teom has been generally successful. The Loys also play football and tennis. During the year two re courts have been erectal by Messrs. Palmer and Turner after the Eten and Rugby models I believe, the only respectively.

bigger place for heracli-when we have our young boys brought up with the spirit of patriotism that we have soon evidenced just now. I am very pleased indeed to see Mr. F'arcy, recorared from his severe accident, and ́agnin able to take his place in the dire tion of affairs. (Applause.) The report he has just read is, I think you will all agree with me, a most satisfactory one, and I have had the ad cantage of learning from the Inspector of Schools, who has made his own independent examination of this school, that he is entirely satisfied with the work done here. (Applause.) He tells me that in the upper classes some most excellent work has been done and ha has sent me examples of it that I might satisfy myself on the point, and I thoroughly agree with him; and I congratulate the masters of this school on having attained such a very eatis factory result. He had only one principal criticism to make, and I think it is as well that I should mention it, as it is a subject which engaged the aftention of the Government during the past year; and that is the principle laid down by the last Governor, Sir Henry Blake, and endorsed by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that Chinese boys should not be taught English in the same class as non-Chinese boys until the Chinese boys have acquired anfficient knowledge of English to really understand the teaching given to the class in the English language, (Applause.) He gave me an example of that. He said that in one of the lower classes of the school 15 Chinese boys failed in reading English white, I am sorry to say, 16 non-Chinese boys failed in arithmetic, I think that is pretty grand proof that the Chinses boys required more touching in reading English and the non-Chinese boys in the mathe matical subjects. Men say that knowledge is power, and so it is; and it is the duty of you boys to avail yourselves of every opportunity of acquiring knowledge; but there are other things besides knowledge, and I am glad to say that one of the features of the report that has pleased me more than any other is the appendix to it, the report from Rev. Mr. Wright on his examination of this school in religious know logo. Mr. Wright paid a high compliment both to teachers and pupils, and he says the knowledge attained was, taking it all ronad, of a bigh standard. I think that is meet satisfactory.

The Inspector of Schools examined, on Decem- I bave said that knowledge is power, but there

enough for the actual needs of the school. It would be a great help to them if they could increase the buildings. With regard to the mixture of classes, he believed it did tell. #gainst the advance of the English boys in some rospects; on the other hand ho was sure that it fold in favour of the speaking powers of English on the part of the Chinese boys, and that if His Excellency wore to test the speaking power of the different schools he would find that the boys of that school, whatever their relativn merits might be as regards reading and writing, at any rate spoke English better than the boys - in any other schools in the Colony. That was no doubt largely owing to the fact that they mixed with the others in the class-rooms and--he laid stress on this - in the play ground where they played together and talked Englisk together. At the same time be personally felt very strongly the importance of the criticism that had been passed on them, and he was sure the authorities of the school would do all they conld to meet the wiskes of the Government in the matter, and all that was practicable for the benefit of the boys of all nationalities and of all olasses in the school. The report on the school gave thankfulness to them all. One thing be noticed when the prizes were being given away was the large number who were not present to receive their certifientes. In one case he was afraid it was owing to illness. But in the other cases, Mr. Pisroy had told then, it was because the boys had got situations and had gone out to work. That was a very satisfactory sign of the good work: the school was doing; it turned out good, useful, practical boys whom people were glad to get hold of for employment in different places. One had gone to Formosa, and he might tell them that the last time he wasnt Foochow he found a Diocesan Sokool boy in the British Consulate Post Office there; and as he travelled among the coast ports he heard ognis and again of good work being done by boys who had gone

out from that school.

It was a good thing that the boys should have a hearty interest in their games and in the success of their games (Applauss.) With regard to the education of the school he felt that it was the only boys' school which was not a distinctly missionary school in which a real solid education in English was given and he was looking at it now from an educational point of view simply-ha con- sidered that no boy could be said to have been properly grounded in English who had not been
