# MILITARY SCHOOLS
29. The only military school open at the end of the year was the Garrison School at Garden Road, which had an average daily number of 110 on the rolls, with a percentage of attendance at 88 (last year 93).
The school was successfully managed during the year, the relation between the teachers and the pupils being excellent.
30. Representations were made by the military authorities that there were no scholarships available for the children of the senior classes when leaving, and the Colonial Government very generously responded by allotting four scholarships to boys and four to girls, available at the British Schools at Victoria and Kowloon. So far one pupil has benefited, but next year it is hoped more will do so.

31. The average attendance was 16 (23 in 1917; 28 in 1916); the master in charge reports that the discipline and progress of the men attending have been satisfactory.
# EXCLUDED PRIVATE SCHOOLS
32. St. Stephen's and St. Paul's Colleges belonging to the Church Missionary Society have an attendance of 445 boys (573 in 1917); and the same body manages St. Stephen's Girls' College, which has an average attendance of 72 (110 in 1917).

(Table II.)
33. During the year all the English Grant Schools were visited by the Inspector of English Schools. The Classes were seen at work, and all exercises written during Term were examined. Weak points were discussed with the Head Teachers and Assistant Teachers concerned.
34. The work of these schools is very satisfactory, progress being apparent each year. In all, special attention is devoted to the training of character; in the Girls' Schools instruction is given in first aid to the injured, home nursing, and cookery.
35. The number of Vernacular Schools in receipt of a grant is now 26 of which 3 are boys' schools.
36. 101 Vernacular Teachers--45 men and 56 women--attended the Normal Class at the Technical Institute and received a very useful training.
