VERNACULAR SCHOOLS IN THE NEW TERRITORIES.
81. Of the 42 Subsidized Schools in the New Territories in 1918, one school at Kam Tin closed, owing to the lack of a teacher, at the beginning of the year, and 4 others (at Sha Tin, Ha Wo Tse, Siu Lik Yuen, and Shan Ha Wai) disappeared without notification, during the course of the year. 11 new schools were subsidized, viz., the schools at Ma Wan, Lamma, Tai Wan, Tai Po, Shan Mee, Kwai Chung, Chuk Yuen, Ying Lung Wai, Wing Lung Wai, and 2 at Cheung Chau. The total number of schools is 48, 2 being Girls' (at Tsuen Wan and Cheung Chau).
82. The payment of subsidies is made in the same way as last year, i.e., each school is paid $5 per mensem for the first 3 quarters, and the balance due to those that are found to deserve the higher grant at the Annual Inspection is paid at the last quarter of the year. The 6 schools at Un Kong, Tai Lam Liu, Wing Lung Wai, (Kam Tiu) Un Long, Cheung Chau (boys) and Kwai Chung respectively have earned the higher grant of $10 per mensem this year. 5 others (at Lamma, Cheung Uk Chuen, Sheung Tsuen, Mang Kung Uk and Tseng Tau) have been rewarded $30 extra for the year.
83. The number of pupils is 1,151 and the average attendance is 939. Among these, there are about 65 girls.
84. Two free scholars were admitted to Un Long English School from these Vernacular Schools, and one to Taipo.
85. Two additional sub-inspectors for the New Territories have been appointed, and the schools are divided into three groups, one group for each sub-inspector. Each subsidized school has been visited once or twice a month by a sub-inspector, and once by the Inspector of Vernacular Schools during the latter part of the year. Since provision has been made for 50 more subsidized schools, the sub-inspectors have also visited many private schools in the New Territories, and those which appear to be able to improve have been given more attention with a view to bringing them up to the standard.
