REPORT ON THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
1921.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
(Tables I, II, III, IV, VII, & VIII).
1. After deducting the school fees received, the total nett expenditure on education was $478,583.07 ($444,150.05 in 1920).
2. School and Technical Institute fees amounting to $104,063 were collected ($103,032 in 1920). In addition $5,496.50 fees were remitted to free scholars ($4,781.00 in 1920).
STAFF.
3. The Estimated British Staff was 24 men and 26 women. At the close of the year it was 3 men and 8 women short (5 and 16 in 1920). On the other hand, there were employed 14 temporary British teachers. These had on an average nearly 2 years' service in the Department, and most of them were either certificated or had had experience outside the Colony. Their work is of great value. When it is remembered what havoc is made by marriage in the ranks of the so-called permanent women teachers, the advantage is obvious of a reserve of these more or less permanent temporary teachers.
4. The decision to give all future Chinese Masters a training at the University has led to temporary difficulties in maintaining the Staffs of schools. The first Student in Training to graduate was Mr. Tang Shu-sham in June. Annually henceforward this source should produce an increasing supply of masters who have graduated in Arts and taken the special course in teaching. At the end of the year, there were in residence at the University 23 Students in Training for Government Schools, besides one holding a Government Scholarship and being trained for the Ying Wa College, and one who was awarded a Government Scholarship of $1,000 a year on the results of the December Matriculation Examination. This scholarship was won by A. G. Prew of the Diocesan Boys' School.
5. The death of Mr. Kong Ki-fai, one of the ablest and most valuable of the Chinese Masters, is deeply regretted.
