REPORT BY THE INSPECTOR OF VERNACULAR SCHOOLS, 1926.
I-GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.
Vernacular Middle School-The Government took over the management of the Confucian Middle School, the amalgamation of which with the Vernacular Normal School provided a nucleus for this new institution which was started in March in the premises of the old Saiyingpun School.
Mr. Li King Hong was transferred from the Inspectorate to take up the Headmastership.
The Maximum Enrolment was 150.
The Average Attendance was 137.
The following is an extract from the Headmaster's Report :-
"The School comprises a Middle School Division, a Normal Division and a Higher Primary Division. One of the chief objects of the Middle School Division is to prepare students for the newly organized Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong.
Messrs. Fung Ping Shan and Li Yik Mui were appointed by the Government in conjunction with Dr. S. W. Tso and Dr. Wan Man Kai, the 2 Chinese Members of the Board of Education, as 'Hok Tung' of the school. Messrs. Fung and Li generously offered to contribute $1,500 towards the first year's expenses and to give annually a number of free scholarships of $30 each, the number not to exceed 50 per year.
Special progress was made in Chinese classics, and literary taste has been cultivated: English, both written and spoken, leaves much room for improvement.
In December, four Normal Students sat for their Final Examination and 2 were successful.
Of school sports, Football, Volley Ball and Ping-pong are the most popular. Basket Ball and Swimming are also encouraged.
The health of the school has been good on the whole."
Vernacular Normal School for Women.-A new development of the school is the addition of the Higher Primary Division, consisting of the 3 Standards, V, VI and VII. This, it is hoped, will prove a worthy feeder of the Normal Division, which it has never been possible to fill by selecting students from outside.
