Mr, Francis said Your Excellency, I may mention in conclusion that the competition in the 1897 examinations was not as vigorous as la, previous yesIK. We inserted among the conditions proficiency in shorthand and type writing, but only one of the boys (from the Diocesan School) applied himself to those sub- fecir, and we bellare that some of the other boys were prevented from competing because these subjects were included for examination. During the current year, therefore, the trustees propose to institute separate examinations in types writing and shoribund, as we consider that they would be of great advantage in a commercial colony like this: bat we would keep them separate, so that they will hardly interfere wiib. the general competitions..
