Grammar.-Makes but a poor show. I gather from the mistakes in parsing and analysis, that masters do not generally pursue the healthy custom of drawing attention to grammatical difficulties that occur in the course of a reading lesson. These impromptu studies in grammar are the most impressive and effective that can be given.
History-Generally very good." In the three sections of Class III there was too great evidence of memoriter work, which probably accounts for the poverty of the answers, which were largely unconnected with the questions.
Arithmetic.-Generally very weak.
Algebra. Considerable improvement in the three sections of the First Class, and excellent work in III. B.C.
Euclid. Excellent in IIA; still terribly poor among non-Chinese.
Geography.-Poor results in all, but the five sections of the first two classes. Shakespeare.-Admirable work on a paper perhaps stiffer than last year. Translations from and into Chinese.-Maintain their average good standard.
Latin. Taking into account the shortness of the school-year the papers of all three sections deserve very considerable praise. In N1, N2 the translations from Cæsar and parsing are weak. I also fail to understand, why boys in N3. after one year's study should have a better knowledge of the use of case, than boys in N2. after two years' work. However the failure of last year in this subject is amply atoned for by the progress observable in 1894.
Book-Keeping.Taken by Mr. JAMESON, in the absence of Mr. BARLOW, is quite equal to last
year's work.
General Intelligence.---Universal collapse, with the exception of IA.
Chemistry.-Had to be omitted from examination, as irregular attendance utterly marred the prospect of success in a weekly subject which requires steady application.
Mensuration.-One boy took this subject with Latin as substitutes for Translation papers from and into Chinese to enable him to compete for the Morrison Scholarship, in Ia. He did a very good paper; and was only 62 marks behind the total 1303 (out of 1500) obtained by the successful
candidate.
