Manual, commercial, and technical instruction is not attempted. There is not a gymnasium. The whole school drilled regularly during the past year: Mr. Lupton is in command of the company. There are no swimming classes, but all the boys have learnt to swim; no arrangements have been made to teach the girls.

4. SCHOLARSHIPS. The Governors gave free tuition to six scholars, and one senior and two junior Education Board scholarships were held at the school.
