THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH MARCH, 1830.

another School, opened on 1st March, 1879, pay- ment has been calculated pro rata, this being the condition under which the School was accepted by the Government. As regards St. JOSEPH'S College, I have to state that the figures in the enclosed table refer only to the results of the examination of those boys who, from 1st January, 1879, up to the day of examination, 29th January, 1880, had completed the 200 attendances required by the Schedule, but that I have kept a Memo- randum regarding the results of the examination of those boys whose attendance was insufficient, which Memorandum can hereafter be referred to, if required.

The sum total earned by the Grant-in-aid Schools amounts for last year to $6,124.54 as against $4,811.53 in 1873 and $3,752.90 in 1877. •Out of this sum the grant earned by the Victoria School, amounting to $370.74 has al- ready been paid under an advance warrant, leav- ing a balance still due of $5,753.80.

The actual amount payable under the revised Schedule for passes in extra subjects under Rule No. 22 of the Schedule is at present under con- sideration, but I have meanwhile calculated the amount at the rate of $2 for an extra pass in each extra subject of Standard VI of Schools in Class IV as fixed by the Schedule in Rule No. 22.

The amount total provided for Grants-in-aid in the Estimates for 1880 is $6,000. Of this sum we have already spent $230 in gratuitics for those Masters of Government Schools whose schools were classed respectively as "very good" and as “good.” There will therefore be an ex- cess of $354.54 over the sum estimated, in ex- planation of which I have but to refer to the fact that several schools were accepted under the Grant-in-aid Scheme after the Estiinates for 1880 had been prepared.

I did not employ an Assistant Examiner, but as regards the classification of che merits of the needlework in Girls' Schools, the following Ladies kindly undertook to act as Judges, viz., Mrs. BURDON, Lady SMALE, Mrs. CHALMERS, Miss. S. J. ANDERSON, M.D., Mrs. ViRGINLA A. R. DO ROZARIO, Miss SCHROEDER and Miss JOHNSTONE.

As there has been considerable delay in the preparation of this complicated account, in con- sequence of circumstances over which I had no control, I beg to recommend that an advance warrant for the sum of $5,753.80 be issued at once so that the Managers may without delay receive the sums which their schools have earned in the past year.

I reserve all comments regarding the educa- tional results of the year 1879, as disclosed by these examinations, for my general report.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

· Your obedient Servant,

E. J. EITEL,

Inspector of Schools.
