Three Main Objects.

The object of the school is three- fold: it hopes to turn out young men equipped for a business life with a sound education in which Chinese studies have played the Frincipal part, but practical teach- ing of English has not been neg lected. Secondly, it aims at pro- ducing good Chinese teachers for Vernacular Schools, and thirdly, it hopes to educate students in such a manner that they will be able to pass on to the University and there specialise in the study of Chinese language, literature, his- Alver-tory and philosophy.

The rural vernacular schools numbered 191, of whom. 107 re- ceived subaldies.

With regard Vernacular Education generally, it seems to me that the standard in Hongkong is probably higher than ever before.

Vernacular Education.

I think that curiously enough this is partly the outcome of cer- tain modern movements in Canton and the province of Kwangtung. In. Hongkong the teaching of the Confucian Classics is not sup- pressed, and moderate Chinese opinion realises how important it is to build on the old foundations. At the same time our Vernacular Inspectorate does a great deal to encourage the use of good modern methods of teaching and school management, and we are able now to reject, after examination, many incompetent would-be teachers in private Vernacular Schools,

In this respect the Government Vernacular Normal School for Women has done particularly good work in turning out well-qualified women teachers for the Verna- cular girls' schools of the Colony.

· No Political Propagand». As an indication of the pros. porous state of many Vernacular schools, it may be observed that a number of private schools now charge as much as $100 a year for each pupil.
