(60).—Church Missionary Society, No. 232 Hollywood Road.

Sanitation.--Good.

Apparatus. Good. There are plenty of coloured pictures, which give the room a cheerful appearance.

Chinese.-Good.

Geography.-Good. Considerable general intelligence shewn.

Arithmetic.—Bad. The multiplication table not all well known in Standard III. This is partly accounted for by the fact that the subject was not taught last year.

Needlework.-Fair.

(62).-Church Missionary Society, Shaukiwan.

Apparatus. More maps required.

Chinese. Considerable improvement shewn towards the end of the year: Standard IV should practise letter-writing.

Geography-Poor.

Arithemetic.-Very weak in Standard IV.

(63). Church Missionary Society, Stanley. (63).—Church

Discipline and Organization.—A great improvement on last year. The log- book was, however, not forthcoming. The School should do well next year.

Sanitation.-Satisfactory.

Floor space.-Sufficient for 89 scholars.

Apparatus.-Local maps needed.

Chinese.-Explanation poor, but teacher has evidently taken pains. Writing fair. Geography-This subject cannot be taught unless the teacher is supplied

with maps.

Arithmetic.-Good in Standard II.. But the teacher of Standard I appears to have taught simple addition incorrectly. It would be well if the Headmistress exercised more supervision in this direction.

Needlework.-Not taken.
