GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.
British Schools.-I mentioned in my report for 1928 that Gun Club Hill School leased since 1921 from the Military Authorities for the use of Kowloon Junior School would not be available in 1929. "Parkside" was adapted for the purpose and has, on the whole, proved satisfactory, but a large room for physical drill is needed. This would also be useful as an assembly hall.
The total number of pupils enrolled at the five schools in 1929 was 466 as against 436 in 1928 and 409 in 1927. The increase during the last ten years of the number of children in the British Schools seems to indicate that more families are settling down here and regarding the Colony as their home, though the closing of the Sugar Refinery at Quarry Bay will affect the attendance at the school in that district.
A number of children, however, still proceed to Europe to continue their education and it is satisfactory to find that they usually do well and more often than not are found to be up to or beyond the standard expected from children of their age.
