Arithmetic.-Very good in the lowest Standards. More attention should be paid to problems in all Standards.
Algebra and Euclid.—The first 4 rules and the first 10 propositions of Euclid were taught to Standard V. In my opinion it is simple waste of time to give this smattering.
History. From the Norman Period to the House of Tudor is taught. The boys swallow a few facts torn from their context, but are of course quite unable to digest them. To teach the subject in a useful way to boys of Standard Vin such a school would be a very difficult task, and is quite beyond the power of the Staff.
Hygiene. The text book has been conscientiously taught, and the senior boys knew a good deal about the subject. I regret that a team was not entered for the examination in

The fact is that the master does not thoroughly understand the system. Reading A praiseworthy attempt has been made to explain to the boys the meaning of what they read. But the pronunciation is poor, and many mistakes are made. Writing.-Copy books are written neatly. Composition should be practised in every Standard.
Geography.—The map of Hongkong is fairly known; that of the western part of the Canton Province should next be studied,
Arithmetic-The strongest subject. Simple problems are taught with some success. In Standard II, the multiplication table is very well known.
Chinese. The subject was introduced during the current year. There are 2 Classes. Reading and composition are alike fair to p or in the higher, and poor in the lower Class.

Stiff.-YAM HIN-TAK.

English. Colloquial.The master has still much to learn as to the best methods of teaching a language colloquially. He evidently takes pains. Reading.-Taught very badly in Standard I. Pronunciation is bad, and the boys have little idea of the meaning of what
