The boy-scouts are making progress, and went into camp the first time.
For Sports.--Games and swimming are popular and flourishing.
There have been many cases of eye-trouble--chiefly trachoma--among the pupils; appropriate treatment has been given.
Saiyingpun School.--The Maximum Enrolment was 359 (368 in 1921).
The Average Attendance was 333 (329 in 1921).
The attendance has been good, and for a few months the percentage was as high as 96. Several classes maintained an unbroken record for a period of five consecutive weeks, while 72 boys--one-fifth of the whole school--made full attendance.
The general standard of efficiency has been maintained: Map drawing, handwriting, English conversation and composition are particularly good.
All the pupils in Class 4 successfully passed the qualifying Entrance Examination to Queen's College.
The discipline and tone continue excellent.
Substantial additions have been made to the apparatus and equipment. The University Education undergraduates use the school for teaching purposes.
Although handicapped for ground, the school has done well in sport. Volley ball and football are the principal games; during the summer, launch picnics and swimming were much enjoyed.
In the cause of charity the school has done splendidly. From Class collections and self-denial, the scholars contributed $800 to the Swatow Relief Fund. The Scouts assisted the "Charitable Association" in street collections and were instrumental in raising $11,000 for the same purpose. Again, when the school was unfortunate enough to lose its "head boy", the school came forward, defrayed the whole of the funeral expenses and handed a substantial sum to the bereaved and aged mother.
Yaumati School.--The Maximum Enrolment was 279 (268 in 1921).
The Average Attendance was 260 (237 in 1921).
The School continues to do good work, and is making steady progress.
The School Library is growing and is much used by the boys.
