THE UNIVERSITY.
(Table VI)
26. The following Table shews the successes at the University Matriculation and External Examinations during recent years.
Government Schools Queen's College & Belilios School. Other Schools in the Colony. External Schools & students at University. Total. Matric. & Junior Matric. & Junior Senior 1914... 11 24 22 57 1915... 30 1916... 15 1917... 16 1918.... 26 1919... 23 1920. 22 23 46 71 1921...' 33 16 5 92 99 35 54 93 83 1 102 129 47 65 90 38 16 119 153 60 $4 82 28 29 138 171 22 45 89 25 32 93 143 69 84 127 51 37 157 233 66 99 156 52 53 184 275 176 322 301 708 265 173 942 1,20327. The popularity of these examinations is apparent in the results obtained by the schools external to the Colony, which increasingly enter for them.
28. In the schools of the Colony these examinations are compulsory; and the rapid increase in the number of successes points to a corresponding improvement in higher education.
29. In the last seven years the increase in attendance at the English Schools of the Colony is 52%, and the increase in the successes at the Junior University Local Examination is 137%. This promises well for the future.
30. St. Joseph's College is to be congratulated on being very easily first in the number of its passes.
EXCLUDED SCHOOLS.
THE POLICE TRAINING SCHOOL.
31. The Police Training School is entirely under the control of the Police Department.
32. Of the non-Government schools which at the coming in force of the Education Ordinance were excluded from its operation there now remain two only: St. Stephen's Colleges for Boys and for Girls. They had an average attendance of 125 and 156 respectively (139 and 86 in 1920).
