Letter from the Inspector of Schools to the Honourable the Colonial Secretary.
HONGKONG, 23rd June, 1877.
SIR, I have the honour to inform you that, when preparing the draft of the Estimate for Education for next year, I discovered an error in one of my calculations in the last Annual Report. I regret to find that I omitted to add the item of Rent of Assistant Masters' Quarters ($720) to the Expense of the Central School. In consequence of this, in Table III, the Expense of the Central School should be $14,085.16 instead of $13,365.16, and the total Expense of the Government Schools should be $19,244.85 instead of $18,524.85.
I subjoin the necessary corrections:---
