Composition. Poor throughout the school.
Geography.-Fair to poor. Definitions were known by heart without being understood.
Arithmetic.-Mental.-Fair.
Written.--Poor.
Chinese. Reading.-Poor in Standards I and II, good in III. 3 boys did not do composition.
Grant.--I recommend a grant at the rate of $5. I must again report this school as "inefficient" on the grounds that the instruction is defective, and also that too many boys are in the lower standards.
