F. H. MAY,
Captain Superintendent of Police,
Enclosure.
HONGKONG, 27th January, 1898.
SIR, I have the honour to report that during the year 1897, the Police School has been conducted much on the same lines as in previous year.
The conduct of the men in attendance has been uniformly good, and considering the fact that attendance at School is necessarily subordinated to l'olice duties proper, the progress has been satisfactory.
The progress of a good proportion of the Indians who have joined within the past eighteen months, has been especially satisfactory, and, if maintained, a fair supply of Indian Interpreters may be expected in the future.
With the Chinese and Indian classes every endeavour has been made in the direction of teaching Colloquial English.
Mr. JAMESON having resigned while on leave Mr. C. W. DUGGAN, who had been acting, was then appointed Assistant Master.
The attendance has been about the same as in previous years.
Europeans,
Indians, Chinese, Gaol Guards,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
