No. 14.-St. Stephen's Anglo-Chinese School.
Staff-TANG CHI KUN and 5 Assistant Masters.
Discipline and Organization.-Discipline might be better. There is too much talking and boys are constantly leaving the room. This is quite unnecessary. Boys should be taught to speak up and should be punished when detected prompting. At my examination I had reason to complain of boys prompting each other.
Sanitation.-Fairly satisfactory. The rooms require colour washing. They might be kept cleaner.
Apparatus.-Good.
Floor Space.---Sufficient for 233 pupils.
English.-Reading.-Fair in the lower standards and good in III, IV and V.
Grammar.-Fair throughout.
Colloquial.-Poor in I and II, very fair in III, IV and V.
Dictation.-I good, II fair.
Composition. Good in III and IV. Fair in V. Boys should think out their subject before writing anything down. Many essays consisted of a mass of meaningless sentences.
Geography. Weak in Standard I and II where definitions were learnt by heart without being understood. Standard III fair. Here too much was attempted. Standard IV good on the whole but several boys at the bottom of the class knew nothing. V fair.
Arithmetic.-Mental.—Good.
Written.-Good with the exception of Standard V which was a little below
the average.
Hygiene.-Poor. The boys have not grasped this subject properly yet.
Chinese-Reading.-Very fair to good except in Class I where it was impossible to
hear what was said. The boys absolutely declined to speak up.
Composition.-Good throughout the school.
General.-Class I is too big; it contains 62 boys. It is quite impossible to teach so large a number whose attainments vary considerably together. It should be divided into IA and IB.
There are 85 boys in Standards I and II compared with 38 in III, IV and V, a rather large proportion in the lower standards.
Grunt.-I recommend a grant at the rate of $7.
No. 15.-146 Hollywood Road. Anglo-Chinese School.

Apparatus. Satisfactory.
Floor Space-Sufficient for 53 pupils.
