Particular attention had been devot d, throughout the year, to pro- nunciation, ard the few failures in this subject were boys who had but recently entered The translation from English to Chinese was good, but that from Chinese to English was only fair. Throughout the Classes the results in this subject were excellent. With the exception of Class 3 the grammar papers were neally and correctly worked. The analysis of Class ta, calls for special mention Last year the results in this subject were de cidedly disappointing, but a marked improve- ment has taken place, and in only two of the classes was the pass below 90%. The papers in Classes in and, ib were remarkably good, Lutzo% of the papers in Class 2 were poor. All the classes did well in this subject, but Classes 3 and 4 deserve special mention.

endeavours to ameliorate their condition. It is very well to be zealous and energetic at the com- mercenient, but unless this policy is maintain- ed, and our efforts are not allowed to relax, no great result can be attained. It is needless to say that in its particular mission, the success of the Society's work depends to a large extent on the teachers in winse hands is schools are entrusted. I am glad that in Mr. Braidwood, the present head master of the school, we have secured not only an ex- perienced and competent teacher, but also a sympathizer with our cause. To him and his hardworking assistants, who have conscien tiously joined hands with him in bringing this school to its present position, the Society's be t; thanks are due. Also to you, ladies and gentlemen, for the honour you have done us in favouring us with your presence, testifying as it does, that not only my comitryn en themselves, but their foreign friends also are desirous that Chinese youths sheukt receive an education wonly of the age.
