11. With regard to alterations in the course of studies; the Reading Books have been advanced one Standard throughout the school; the mathematical studies of the Upper School are of a higher standard than formerly; English History is now extended to the 3rd Class and English Composition to the 4th Class; an attempt has, moreover, been made to make the Anglo-Chinese Classes more practically useful, by introducing the translation of short English sentences into Chinese, and substi- tuting a Table of 300 of the most common Chinese characters for the 214 Radicals, several of which are of little use outside the native dictionary, which these boys will never use.
12. As the Annual Examination will, as usual, not take place till the end of January, I must defer comments on the work done since last February, until the next Annual Report.
13. In the past year 6 boys have entered the Colonial Service, 21 the Chinese Service; 17 boys have obtained employment in professional and mercantile firms and 2 in the Dock Company,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable W. H. MARSH, C.M.G.
Colonial Secretary.
