From October 1st, by an arrangement whereby the English and Anglo-Chinese staff returned to duty on four afternoons cach woek instead of on two, as formerly, we dispensed with the services of one European Easter. Similarly, the services of one Anglo Chinese master were not needed; and Mr. Wong Yuk-iam was accordingly trans- ferred to Yanmati Districs School. Conse- quent on the re-arrangement of the hours of duty for the visiting Vernacular masters, we were enabled to do with four instead of five such masters, as from 1st November.. Pupil teachers, from 1st January, 1913, for administrative purposes only, were transferred to the Director of Education. At their examination in July, four 2nd year pupil teachers were examined, and ten 1st year fourteen in all-of whom twelve, Of the two who or 86 per cont., passed. did not reach the pass standard, one had been appointed but six months, and the other less than two.

The gross expenditure, is nearly 80,000 in excess of that for 1912; this is mainly owing to the privileged rate of exchange, to special laboratory outlay, and to the transfer of a longisge bonus.
