The Minimum Enrolment was 18 (20 in 1915).
Average Attendance was 24 (26 in 1915).
The cost of each unit in Average Attendance was $61.69 ($53.27 in 1915).
The attendance continues good, all the seats being occupied.
The School was inspected in April, and while the work was found to be on the whole satisfactory, the attention of the Headmaster was drawn to various weak points. It is satisfactory to note that in the papers worked at the Annual Examination held three months later a very great improvement was noticeable, especially with reference to Arithmetic, the papers being particularly neat, carefully written, and well arranged. Many of the pupils talk intelligently, and it was interesting to find in the remote district in which this School is situated a pupil (Chinese) whose father had "kept a shop in Limehouse". This boy had quite a good knowledge of London and of the War.
The Headmaster has been supplied regularly with illustrated journals referring to the War. These have been distributed, and it is believed, have had a beneficial effect.
At the Annual Prize Distribution, many parents and village elders assembled and displayed a great interest in the School.
The Inspector of Vernacular Schools reports that in Letter-writing the work is satisfactory, and has been carefully supervised, and that answers to questions set were good. Pupils are, however, unable to distinguish the tones of the words, a common failing among villagers speaking a dialect of their own.
Taipo School.-The Maximum Enrolment was 53 (56 in 1915). The Minimum Enrolment was 35 (35 in 1915).
Average Attendance was 39 (42 in 1915).
The cost of each unit in Average Attendance was $38.81 ($29.81 in 1915).
The School was inspected in May. Desks and furniture were found to be clean and in good order. There is now a fair supply of Maps and Charts. A recent and very useful addition is a coloured "Typhoon Signal Chart", which is explained to the pupils. The weak point throughout the School was the prevailing untidiness in written work. The Classes were addressed on the subject by the Inspector, and the Headmaster instructed to insist upon an improvement. At the Annual Examination held in July the papers submitted were much more satisfactory in every way. In Composition the work attempted was more ambitious than last year, but the results were not so satisfactory. More time should be devoted to sentence-building. Arithmetic was very satisfactory. The School generally shews a distinct improvement.
Cheung Chau School. The Maximum Enrolment was 30 (19 in 1915).
The Minimum Enrolment was 16 (11 in 1915).
Average Attendance was 23 (15 in 1915).
