The Average Attendance was 28 (33 in 1920).
As evidence of the influence of the school on the scholars it may be noted that six past pupils have recently been presented by Government with certificates in recognition of their valuable services as Special Police in the district during the War.
Cheung Chau School - The Maximum Enrolment was 29 (27 in 1920).
The Average Attendance was 20 (20 in 1920).
It is proposed to transfer a trained Chinese Master to this School, as in the case of the Taipo School.
GRANT SCHOOLS,
Table II)
As in the previous year there are 10 English Grant Schools, all of which were visited and inspected during the year.
At all visits, Classes were seen at work. All exercises written during Term have been examined by me, papers worked and Classes examined orally; questions of method and organization were discussed in all schools with the Principals concerned. In addition, the Diocesan Boys' School and St. Joseph's College were visited and reported on by a Sub-Committee of the Board of Education. These visits are of great assistance to me and are likely to prove of benefit to the Schools concerned. Steady progress is being made in these schools. All pupils in Classes 1 and 2 - the highest Classes - are required to enter for the Hongkong University Matriculation (or Senior) and Junior Examination respectively and the results are generally very satisfactory (Table VI). Special attention is devoted to the teaching of English, written and spoken, and in the latter connexion to correct pronunciation.
ENGLISH PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
During the year 26 Boys' Schools (4 Day and 22 Night) were closed; 31 new Boys' Schools (5 Day and 26 Night) and 1 new Girls' Day School were opened.
The total number of Schools open was: Day Schools, - 2 Girls' and 30 Boys'; Night Schools - 80 Boys'; with a maximum enrolment of 62 girls and 2,741 boys in the Day Schools, and 2,079 boys in the Night Schools, making a total of 4,882 pupils, an increase of 1,203 upon 1920.
In addition there were 2 Exempted Schools, the Catholic Seminary, a Day School with 23 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 50 in attendance.
