In

Chinese.-Reading.-Very good in all classes. Standard VII were studying a very advanced book on etiquette, and appeared to understand it thoroughly. Standard VI did Mencius and from V to I different volumes of the National Reader were studied. Class VI there was a slight tendency to get confused over the identity of the different persons speaking. The explanation of the text in Standards V to I was good throughout.

Composition.--Very good in Standards VII, VI and V, good in IV, II and I but fair only in III. The latter class was at sea when called upon to do sentence building and did not excel at converting colloquial into written Chinese.

Arithmetic-Mental.—Good.

Written.-Fair in Standards VII and VI; very good indeed in V and IV good in II and I; Standard III was fair only. The work in this class was also badly written. In Standard VII simple interest was not understood, in VI the working of fractions was inaccurate and in proportion only the answers were shown.

Geography-Very good throughout the school.

Physical Standards VII and VI only. Good.

Needlework.-Embroidery very good. Plain sewing still appears to be neglected.
