POLICE SCHOOL,

HONGKONG, 31st December, 1895.
SIR,-I have the honour to report that the working and results of the Police School for 1895 have been satisfactory.
On further experience the First Reading Book introduced by The Captain Superintendent, F. H. MAY, Esq., has been found to answer its purpose fairly well though certain minor alterations are desirable when a reprint is made.
The suggestion in last report of allowing Indians from other Departments to attend the 'Police School has been carried into effect so far as Victoria Gaol is concerned, with satisfactory results.
During 1895 eleven European Constables obtained certificates exempting them from school attendance.
Three Indian Constables and three Gaol Guards passed examinations held by the Board of Examiners, and are now in receipt of allowances awarded for a knowledge of English.
The following has been the attendance for the year :-
Europeans,. Chinese,
Indian Constables,..
Indian Gaol Guards,

Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
W. M. B. ARTHUR, Master in Charge.
