CONTROLLED SCHOOLS.
GRANT SCHOOLS,
(Table II.)
17. The Inspector of English Schools reports that the work in the 7 English Grant Schools continues generally to be of a high order. Great attention is devoted to the training of Character; in the girls' schools courses in domestic subjects such as cookery, home-nursing, and first aid to the injured have recently been started.
18. The number of Vernacular Schools in receipt of a grant is now 27 of which 4 are boys' schools.
19. 197 Vernacular Teachers--89 men and 108 women-attended the Normal Class at the Technical Institute and received a very useful training.
ENGLISH PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
The Inspector of English Schools reports:-
20. During the year 21 Boys' Schools (4 Day and 17 Night) closed their doors, and 22 new Boys' Schools (4 Day and 18 Night) were opened.
21. The total number of Schools open was:-Day Schools: 2 Girls' and 23 Boys'; Night Schools: 45 Boys' with a maximum enrolment of 39 girls and 1,526 boys in the Day Schools and 1,169 boys in the Night Schools, making a total of 2,734 pupils.
22. These figures include 2 Exempted Schools-the Catholic Seminary, a Day School with 19 students training for the priesthood, and a Night School maintained by the Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company for the instruction of some of their Chinese employees, with 56 in attendance.
One Day School has been transferred to the Vernacular Register.
23. The education given in most of the schools is necessarily very elementary. The methods of the teachers are improving, but until teachers who have been trained at the Normal Classes find it worth their while to conduct English Private Schools, no great increase in efficiency can be looked for.
24. Discipline is generally good, and an attempt is made to insist on good manners. All the schools now furnish Monthly Reports, and send their Registers for inspection every month.
