As regards the curriculum of the three schools, the police has been from the first, to lay due stress on the importance of having well trained and well educated men to conduct the schools, and as re- gards the pupils, each boy, being of Chinese nationality, is expected to be come proficient in the Chinese language as well as in English. No boy is allow- ed to neglect the study of the native tongue in order to learn English more quickly.

Thus a fair idea is obtained as to the quality of work being done, Bince 1908 thirty-six of the pupils have passed either the junior or the senior examina- tion of the Uniwrsity of Cambridge. At these examinations the pupils take papers in Chinese as well as in English, and the papers done by the pupils are sent to Cambridge University to be examined, and the results are made known usually in about three months after examination, So far, no pupil from this school has ever failed in Chinese.
