As an indication of the prosperous state of many Vernacular schools, it may be observed that a number of private schools now charge as much as $100 a year for each pupil.
This department constantly endeavours to see that political propaganda and agitation are rigidly excluded from the schools of the Colony.
This is a difficult subject and I do no more than touch on it here to show that it does not escape our attention.
E. NORMAL SCHOOLS.
Reference has been made in the previous paragraph to the good work of the Vernacular Normal School for Women under Miss Chan Yat Hing. The number of students was 113, as against 49 in 1925, and arrangements were made to move into new and larger rented premises at the end of the year.
A new Government Vernacular Normal School was started at Taipo in March. Accommodation has been rented to provide not only for classrooms but also for lodging of students, who come from distant parts of the Territory. The teacher is a former pupil of the Men's Vernacular Normal School in Hong Kong, where he had taken a specially extended course. It is hoped that in due course this New Territory experiment will bear fruit and produce capable Vernacular teachers for the country districts.
F. TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.
The Technical Institute, designed to supply instruction in various subjects for those desiring the opportunity of evening study, was well attended. Details are given in Table X.
3. BOARD OF EDUCATION.
