*No. 47.—Bridges Street.
Discipline and Organization. The drill in this school is good; but it cannot be des- cribed as well organized. The only assistants which the teacher has are two boys of 14 years, who were last year in Standard IV. He moreover occasionally leaves the school in their sole charge-more than one-third of the scholars are in a lower division of Standard I, and seem to have learned very little; and though they swell the Grant they spoil the school.
Sanitation. The building is satisfactory, but is seriously overcrowded at times.
Floor Space.-Sufficient for 79 pupils.
Apparatus.-A map of the Canton Province is required.
Chinese. Reading-Fair. Composition.—Poor.
Geography.-Poor.
Arithmetic.-Mental.-Fair. Written.-Fair. Standard IV did not understand the use of the decimal point, nor how to work by short division.
General. The Grant should be reduced in future unless the staff is strengthened, or Standard I reduced to proper proportions.
