luxurious. An English Master has been appointed. The school is at present a feeder to Queen's College, but may possibly develop an Upper School of its own.
16. The remaining District Schools continue to do good work. 17. The Belilios Public School continues to do excellent work.
18. Trust Funds.-Several Trust Funds for Scholarships are held by the Director of Education. Balance Sheets of these are given in Tables IX, X, and XI.
MILITARY SCHOOLS.
19. Garrison Schools.--I am indebted to the Inspector of Army Schools for the following information :--
"There are only two schools open, Victoria and a small school at Stonecutters; that at Lyemun was closed in May on account of the small number attending. The average daily number on the rolls was 105, compared with 114 last year, and the percentage of attendance was 90."
POLICE SCHOOL.
20. The average attendance was 28 (31 in 1915; 42 in 1914). The master in charge reports that the discipline and progress of the men attending have been satisfactory.
EXCLUDED PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
21. St. Stephen's and St. Paul's Colleges belonging to the Church Missionary Society have an attendance of 525 boys (506 in 1915); and the same body manages St. Stephen's Girls' College, which has an average attendance of 120 (120 in 1915).
CONTROLLED SCHOOLS.
GRANT SCHOOLS.
(Table II.)
22. During the year all the English Grant Schools were inspected, the Inspector of English Schools devoting at least two days to each school. In them all, work was done in the presence of the Inspector and all exercises written during Term were examined. In this way it was possible to form a very clear estimate of the regularity of the work and of the progress made. Weak points were discussed with the Head Teachers concerned, and in all such cases the Inspector's advice was readily accepted.
23. The work of these schools is generally of a high order; great attention is devoted to the training of character, and in the girls' schools to training in domestic subjects such as cookery, home-nursing and first aid to the injured.
24. The number of Vernacular schools in receipt of a grant is now 32 of which only 6 are boys' schools. 103 teachers--62 men and 41 women--attended the Normal Class at the Technical Institute. This good attendance is a hopeful sign for the future of Vernacular Education.
