THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1891.
to enter, and as thus very many boys had only six months to get up their work in, I consider the results on the whole satisfactory. To particularise, the work done in classes IA, IIB, IIIA, and the Preparatory School in general, deserves special mention; while that of IB, and IIIB is far below the
average.
10. Of the boys who have left during the past year, 3 have entered the Colonial Service, 11 the Chinese Imperial Customs' Service, 38 have obtained employment in the various firms and private offices in the Colony, and 25 have gone, under Foreign employ, to the Coast Ports. A good many boys have left school without assigning any reason, but from what I can gather the two chief causes seem to be inability to pay the fees, and change of residence. Unless a boy is leaving to go into some office, for which he requires a certificate, it is a very difficult matter to get from the Chinese the actual cause of a boy's leaving.
11. In conclusion I must take up the strain of Mr. WRIGHT's last year's Report and express the gratitude of the Masters and the boys to all who have so generously provided prizes for the encourage- ment of our scholars.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most Obedient Servant,
The Honourable F. FLEMING, C.M.G.,
Colonial Secretary, &c., &c., &c.
