HONGKONG

GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION.

[In C.S.O.29 of 1881.]

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE Governor.

The annual prize examination of the Central School, which to some extent is a test of the way

the Masters do their work, should be conducted,

as in every other Colony, by Examiners other than the Masters.

I should be glad if Dr. STEWART would suggest

the names of a few gentlemen who would be

competent to conduct the necessary examination.

J. POPE HENNESSY.

REPORT BY THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY. The Rev. Dr. EITEL, Mr. Justice SNOWDEN

(who takes a great interest in education), the Rev. Dr. CHALMERS and the Rev. Mr. LECHLER

occur to me as the names of gentlemen who would be competent to conduct the necessary

examinations.

The Rev. Dr. MURRAY MITCHELL, a great Indian educationist, now the guest of Dr. CHALMERS, might feel inclined to join in the

examination. A comparison of results here and

in India would be satisfactory.

(Signed) F. STEWART,

11th January, 1881.

Acting Colonial Secretary.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

I approve of all those selected by Dr. STEWART,

and as the boys are mostly Chinese and the examination will be partly in Chinese, let the

Honourable NG CHоY and Dr. WONG be added to the Examiners.

The examination should be conducted as pre- scribed in the Grant-in-aid Schedule for Schools

in which a European education is given with Chinese in addition.
