22. There is a general feeling among the Heads of local schools that the Junior Examination is somewhat too easy.
23. Students in Training for masterships in the Education Department to the number of 29 are studying at the University, their fees and maintenance being paid by the Government. They are destined to teach in Government Schools. 3 students in training, 2 men and 1 woman, selected by public competition from Schools other than Government Schools, are each in receipt of Government Scholarships of $1,000 annually.
THE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.

24. This is the somewhat high sounding name of a number of Evening Classes which are widely popular, the attendance being 495 (583 in 1921). The Classes held were English, French, Teachers' (English and Chinese), Translation (English-Chinese), Book-keeping, Shorthand, Building Construction, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Steam. Only one-third of the students sit for examination, and one-half of these pass.
25. The Teachers' Classes (English) had an average attendance of 26 and the Teachers' Classes (Vernacular) of 78. These Classes are important to teachers in Schools, and are taken very seriously.
26. The Command Educational Officer writes that selected Military students take advantage of the facilities afforded by the Technical Institute. During the year 30 men have attended.
VERNACULAR EDUCATION.
(Annexes C. and D.)
URBAN DISTRICTS.
27. Except for a few schools under British management, the old Grant system was abandoned at the end of 1921; and missionary and secular schools alike are now given quarterly subsidies, a more flexible system. Its steadying influence is shown by the small number of schools that closed during the year,—only 36 as against an average of 68 for the previous four years.
