In 1905 the Board of Governors gave free education to fifty pupils, of whom eight were Board of Education scholars and three National scholars, and there were in addition six Board scholars and one National scholar paying fees. At the end of the year the Government issued new regulations, which removed the Board's previous objections to clause 87 and practically met the Board's wishes. The Board decided, therefore, to give free places in accordance with clause 87, and to extend the benefits to all qualified boys in the school. In future all scholars and all boys under fourteen years on the Ist December preceding date of admission, who have obtained qualifying marks at the Junior National Scholarship and Free Place Examinations or at the Education Board Scholarship Examination, will be entitled to junior free places, and they may qualify at these examinations coming from any school, secondary, private, or public. Senior free places, tenable until the holder reaches his nineteenth birthday, will be given to any boy who passes Matriculation Examination or the Junior Civil Service Examination with credit; also to any boy who, being under sixteen, passes the Junior Civil Service Examination or qualifies for a Senior Education Board Scholarship. M. Malaquin was granted leave of absence from the end of August for six months in order to visit Europe. The distinctions won during the year were as follows : Among former pupils Mr. J. G Lancaster obtained his B.Sc, with double first-class honours in mathematics and electricity; Mr. A. E. Currie obtained his M.A., with second-class honours in English and French; and Mr. H. G. Denham, M.A., with first-class honours in chemistry. Mr. F. Kissell obtained his B.Sc. in engineering, and Mr. J. R. Cunningham his LL.B. Messrs. C. M. Stubbs and L. H. Harrison
