It has ex seeded the percentage of previous years with the exception of last year, and that in spite of the fact that the school had to contend during the past year with disorganisation both by a sovero opidemic of plague and by the destruction worked to this building by the typhoon at the and of July. The hoadmaster has referred, with justifiable pride, to the success gained by the boys of Queen's College in the competition for open scholarships in the Customs Training College at Faking. He has ales alluded to the anodes in the examination for papil teachers. I heartily concur with him on the oxtreme importance of this branch of education in Queon's College. It should have our earnest considora- tion how we can promote and make more efficient the training of pupil teachers either by the institution of a normal school or by any other means. At the beginning of last year, Ist

Attendance, on the whole, continuos regular. More stringent rules with regard to leave are being gradually introduced, and it is earnestly to be hoped that parents and guardians will sndeavour to see that these are rigorously observed. Boys at school should neither be exposted per encouraged to apply for leave to be present at minor family functions, such as the birthdays and marriages of relatives. The utmost regularity is absolutely essential if rol progress is to be made. It soome absurd that a boy should be summoned by his parents from the stromans routine of school life, to his distant native village, merely to participate in a house-warming. Bach applications have been

received.

No doubt, among the many matters Chinose that need reform, is that of early marriage. I had in my office recently a candidate for matri monial honours who was but 16 years old! Comments needless.

The average age of applicants for marrings ranges between 19 and 20. It is notorious that such boys, almost without exception, loss posi, tion in class.

I lund a most interesting conversation on this particular point, and he strongly urged that in any university an arts degree was essential, and that it should include instruction in the ethics and history alike of Christianity and Confucianiem (applause). Last year when I addressed you here I pointed out to the head- master and staff of Queen's College the great importance, in my opinion, of touching the prin ciples of patriotism as I believe they are taught in Japan.
