Hygiene.

57. This subject now forms a part of the course of study at all Government schools in the Colony and the annual inspection on which the grant to Aided Schools depends will em- brace an examination in the subject. The Challenge Shield presented by Sir MATTHEW NATHAN the late Governor two years ago was again competed for in December by Govern- ment and Grant Schools but on this occasion no individual prizes were offered and the competition in the Advanced Course was dropped. A separate report on this subject will be found in Appendix D.
