Subsidies of $15, $10, or $5 per mensem according to their merits. Four Schools having been removed from this list during the year, the number at the end of the year is 103.
English Subsidized Schools.-The Saikung English School, under the management of the Roman Catholic Mission received, as in the previous year, a monthly subsidy of $30. The attendance has fallen to 15 (25 in 1925). This is still the only English School in Saikung District, and the only Private English School in the Territory.
Of the $12,000 N. T. Subsidies Vote, $11,933.33 was expended, the cost per pupil working out to be $3.65 per annum.
Free Scholarships.-The number of Free Scholarships tenable at a Government English School, awarded to Vernacular Schools were: 3 to Taipo School, 3 to Un Long School, 6 to Yaumati School (from Sha Tin District) and 4 to King's College (from Tsuen Wan). Three Scholarships were offered to Cheung Chau and the other islands in its neighbourhood, but none has been taken.
Non-Subsidized Schools-51 schools were registered and 42 closed during the year. After several transferences between the Subsidy List and this, the number of schools on this list at the end of December was 84. Notice under S. 17 of the Education Ordinance has been served on one of the thoroughly inefficient schools at Shuen Wan which is due to be struck off the register soon after the new year.
Attendance.-The total enrolment in Subsidized Schools was 3,262, including 359 girls, and the average attendance, 2,742. The number in Non-Subsidized Schools was 1,628, (87 girls), and the average attendance, 1,291.
All schools have been visited at least once by myself and several times by a Sub-Inspector.
