The Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians.-The Maximum Enrolment was 115 (104 in 1919).
The Average Attendance was 101 (89 in 1919).
Urdu is taught in addition to the usual school subjects. Praya East School.-The Maximum Enrolment was 116 (113 in 1919).
The Average Attendance was 95 (94 in 1919).
This School is under a Chinese Head Master and does very satisfactory work. Many boys pass from it to the District Schools where they acquit themselves creditably; for instance three boys who passed to the Wantsai School in 1919 gained the first three places in their Class at the 1920 Examination.
The boys take a keen interest in athletics, but are handicapped by the fact that the School is held in a Chinese tenement, and has no playground. Arrangements to mitigate this disadvantage are being made.
OUTLYING DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
Taipo School.-The Maximum Enrolment was 70 (37 in 1919).
The Average Attendance was 53 (44 in 1919).
Un Long School.-The Maximum Enrolment was 36 (33 in 1919).
The Average Attendance was 26 (26 in 1919).
Cheung Chan School.--The Maximum Enrolment was 27 (29 in 1919).
The Average Attendance was 20 (22 in 1919).
The attendance at the Taipo School is steadily increasing; there is an obvious demand for increased accommodation and greater facilities for teaching English to boys from the neighbouring villages.
BRITISH SCHOOLS.
These Schools have suffered considerably from the difficulty in obtaining Trained Teachers. Some good work has been done by Temporary Mistresses, but the very frequent changes in the Staff have made it difficult to obtain the best results.
