TAH INSPECTOR'S REPORT From the report of the Inspector of Schools for the year 1807 we make the following extracts: The revenue collected by the De partment amounts to $18,780.50 an inorsass of $4,000 on last year's Sgares. The District Schoola are again the chief contributors, Sai ylugpan Sontol Blone shewing an fuoreams of 82,500, The Belillos Pablle Behool, which showed a decrease in fees last year, has now exceeded the 1995 total by over 30 The fee at the English Schools and the Lower Grade Anglo-Chinese Schools have with one exception decreased. The expenditure on Education in cluding Queen's College was $184,023,0) or 3.19 per cent, of the total expenditure of the Colony. The number of doverament and Grant Fobcoin in the Colony is the year under review is 79 as compared with 85 in 1966. The decrease
is accounted for by the closing of inefficient Vernacular Grant Schools by the Government, i
te, Nos. 16, 65, #7 and 71 and the voluntary, closing of 2 schools; the Cathedral School No. 10-and-the Sacred Heart School No. 23 by the Roman Catholic Mission. The Cathedral School pupils now form the greater. portion of the Chinese division at St. Joseph's College. The average attendance was 5,924 as against: 5,426, a substantial increase in both Government and Grant Schools. The Berlin Foundling House No. 17 and the Training Home for Girls No. 20 sro again Upper Grade Schools, The Anglo-Indian (Government) School remains in the Lower grade as before.
