KIAOCHAU (TSINGTAO)

Chinese workmen. Over a hundred acres of the north-eastern area near the Great Harbour were reclaimed in 1919-20.

For the European community the Government maintained a reformed modern grammar school, open to boys and girls alike. In addition to the State school there was a girls' boarding and day school carried on by Franciscan Nuns. There were also a number of village schools in which in a five-years' course of instruction the pupils could obtain an elementary knowledge of Chinese, arithmetic, physical and political geography, natural science and German. For secondary instruction in European and Chinese sciences there was the German-Chinese High School, opened on October 25th, 1901. The teaching staff consisted of 28 German and 9 Chinese teachers. A thoroughly equipped observatory was opened in January, 1912, with funds supplied by the Union of German Navy Leagues abroad.

The temperate climate and the excellent beach have brought Tsingtao into prom- inence as a summer resort.

The trade of the port for 1919 amounted to Hk. Tls. 67,376.824, as compared with Hk. Tls. 63,447,330 in 1918, Hk. Tls. 57,782,991 in 1917, and Hk. Tls. 46,862,827 in 1916.
