articled three years ago, and who during the last five months have given evidence of their ability to discharge their duties very satisfactorily. With the exception of Translation from Chinese in the two head classes the Head Master no longer takes a position on the teaching staff; bis time being fully occupied in organisation and supervision, fortnightly inspections of each class, half yearly and annual examinations with other multifarious duties. It is noteworthy that of the staff of eigh. teen English and Chinese, I found on my arrival eight years ago, only two remain. As only two have been removed by death it is manifest that the remainder are those who have left in search of bigher salaries elsewhere, some on promotion in the Colonial Service.
13. A normal class and a special Examination Paper on Education and School Discipline for Pupil Teachers and Monitors are a new feature this year. Mr. Boards, who has been in charge of these junior assistants in front of the Prepara Class, is on the whole able to give me only a moderate Report though he speaks highly, of one or two Pupil Tenchers. I trust that next year some
marked improvement will be observed.
14. With the necessarily increased staff for 21 classes, instead of 12, it could only reasonably be expected that the expenses would be increased, but it is satisfactory to observe, that the average expense of each scholar calculated on the aver age daily attendance is lower than it has been for years. When it is remembered that for three months the expense of three extra English Masters was borne by the smaller number of boys at the Central School, it may reasonably be supposed that this figure will not be exceeded next year. An average cost of $25 may be called 3 18. per head, which sounds a large sum, but is far exceeded by our namesake in Australia where the cost per head is £4 154.
15 The result of the examination just held by me for prize purposes, and on which suitable promotions can be made next month, appears to me very satisfactory, 645, boys out of 676 examined, or 95 per cent. having passed I did not expect so good a result, as the transfer of the school in the middle of the summer upset all the arrangements for the year, and 494 boys, ie, all below Class IVA. were examined on barely a half-year's work in the classes to which they were allotted. But masters and boys were determined not to bring discredit on the College and they deserve much credit for their success Though not wishing to intrench on the province of the Inspector of Schools, I cannot refrain from pointing ont that the great weakness in the Lower School betrayed in Arithmetic is compensated. by the unusually good results in English Gram mar. In the Upper School (6 sections) remark- ably good work was done, though 111. is only moderate in its tone. Classes IVA. VR. nte con- spicuous for high class work in the sections of the Lower School, and Class VII of the 5 sections of the. Preparatory School deserves special mention,
16. Last July we sent up ten boys. Of these eight passed, three as Sentous, and being under nineteen years of age were declared Associates in Arts, while five passed the Junior Examina-
tion,
17. The following Table gives some idea of the manner in which the teaching of English subjects has been extended in the school, to gether with the introduction of higher subjects in the Upper Classes. The figures are the total number of boys examined in each subject in the following years.

18. That this College supplies a large demand for clerks in this Colony is sufficiently attested by the following facts culled from the Annual Summary of the past six years; 32 appointments have been obtained in the Colonial Service, 150 boys have been engaged by European professional and mercantile firms in the Colony, besides many clerks engaged by Hongkong firms for Japan, Shanghai and the Coast Ports. The Chinese Government, too, bas In this period employed from this School 8o boys in its Customs, Medical, Diplomatic, and Telegraph services,

3. Beaconfield Arcade, 7th May, 1890. 518I have the honour to address your Excellency upon a subject which bas, I celleve, been brought to your notice by other architecte practising in this colony, viz, the report, dated (LÂTE THE HALL & HOLTZ CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY, LIMITED.) 1st March, last (recently published) to the Sanitary Board by the Sanitary Superintendent.
HONGKONG
TRADING CO., LTD.
|
That report contains reflections on the actions and motives of building owners and architects, which 1 have reason to believe your Excellency will, upon consideration, deem of such a nature as to justify a protest being made by those concerned,
The second, third, and fourth paragraphs, as published in the press, contain such pointed references to the architects of the colony as to make it unnecessary to make extracts there- from, and I venture to say that these remarks are as entirely uncalled for as they`are unjust in their nature.
Without troubling your Excellency with a lengthy letter I would point out that the Sanitary Board applied on the 17th September last to architects and others on the subject of the amendment of the Sanitary bye-laws prepared under Ordinance No. 24 of 1887. Such a pro- ceeding was, in my opinion, highly desirable, and for one I had the greatest readiness in giving my views, a copy of which 1 enclose, and by which it will be seen that all the amendments t suggested were in the directions of adopting more stringent regulations to define the system of drainage adopted.
It will be unnecessary for me to tell your Ex- cellency that usually these Regulations are not adopted to instruct architects and owners in drainage matters, but to ensure an uniform system, being adopted; but it would clearly appear from the report I now refer to that the writer and his colleagues consider. themselves commissioned to give instruction in sanitation to the public.
Generally I may say that the architects of Hongkong bave no reason to offer any resistance to the annitary measures defined by the Public Health Ordinance or the byelaws; but there is much dissatisfaction at the way these regulation are enforced and the attempt with which the good intentions of tuch as have dealings with this new Department are treated

The heavy thunder and lightning we have had lately has not passed away without doing mischief. In the city a house was struck, killing young woman, who was sitting together with four others, without doing any harm to the rest. The ever superstitious. Chinese firmly believe that sins and crimes can only cause such a death, If such be the case, we wonder why so many of them have not yet been killed by lightning."

much of this report as is now objected to, From an extended experience I venture to say that the sanitary condition of this colony is not such as to warrant the wholesale condemnation conveyed in Mr. McCallum's report, and I believe that in face of all difficulties to be met,
with outside and inside the Sanitary Regulations, the architects of Hongkong have still some regard, as sanitarians, for the public health.
I propose giving the same publicity to this letter as has been obtained by the report objected to.

Hugh McCallum, Esq., Secretary to the
Sanitary Board.
SIR,-In reply to your letter No. 254, trans- mitting to me a copy of the Drainage bye-laws made by the Sanitary Board and inviting my views as to the amendments in the same which I think might be made therein, I bave much pleasure in complying with the request, with an expression of regret that my reply should have been, though unavoidably delayed so long,
part
I should in the first place point out that the Ordinance itself (No. 24 of 1889) contains several sections which should have formed of the bye-laws; these sections (19 to 47, clc.) are substantially extracted from the Model bye laws promulgated by the local Government Board (sections or to 65). These sections con. tain most important instructions to the builder and house owner, who frequently have no access to the Ordinance, and I would suggest that these be extracted and circulated with the bye-laws, As these sections form part of the Ordinance I refrain from suggesting any amendments.
19. I will conclude by expressing the gratitude of the masters and boys to the many friends of this College who continue, year after year, so generously to provide prizes for the encourage. The bye-laws as they now stand appear to me ment of our young students. The Government to provide for drainage on the "Separate" Grant on this head, liberal as it is, would go but System, the principle of which, as I understand, a small way in providing rewards for 21 English is not yet accepted for this colony. I cannot and iz Chinese classes. But these donations, after much practical experience of both systems coming, as they do, from all nationalities and all but regard the absolute separation of sewage classes, should be viewed in the further light, as from surface water in the city of Victoria gene- an expression of public interest in the work done rally as a serious mistake, considering the in these walls, and as e vote of public con-physical features of a large portion of the drain fidence in the manner in which that work is

drainage. I am satisfied that certain portions, of the city drainage, namely, the lower levels, should be treated separately, and for this the sections I refer to (45, and 6) might properly apply; bat I presume that,, without most con- clusive reasons being given in favour of such an experimental scheme, the Sanitary Board will recognize only the combined systems, now in use, so far as house drainage is concerned.
