7. This is an increase of 6,575 over 1920, the increase in pupils in English Schools being 1,880 and in the Vernacular Schools, 4,695.
8. The increase in English pupils appears in every class but principally in the Private Schools. Of these, rather less than half are night schools, some of the pupils in which may be in attendance at other schools during the day time. None of the Private English Schools receive any assistance from Government.
9. The increase in Vernacular Education is equally widely spread, one half of it occurring in the Private Schools of the Colony. The increase in the New Territories is apparent rather than real, and corresponds with the registration of a number of schools which in former years had been uncontrolled.

Of this number 35,282 are registered in our schools, or nearly 23%.

Of these, 11,789 are in Vernacular schools and at least 6,000 in English schools or 17,789 altogether. But it is certain that the average child does not remain at school for as long as 11 years i.e. from the sixth to the sixteenth year. If the average school life be taken at 5 years out of a possible 11, the
