year, but both this Anglo-Chinese Department and the Chinese Division labour under the disadvantage. isheartening to the teachers, that the majority of the scholars in these two sections of the School attach comparatively little or no interest to progress in Chinese studies, and do not, therefore, give to them the same application or anything like the zeal with which the same scholars approach their English lessous.

Two of the former students of the Normal School are now employed in the Colony as teachers in English Schools, and one has been appointed interpreter in the local Sanitary Department. The remaining four students of the Normal School entered a Hospital of the Chinese Government at Tientsin as medical students.
