III.—PRIVATE SCHOOLS, URBAN DISTRICTS.

Subsidized Schools. Of the 218 subsidized schools on the list at the end of 1928, one was removed to the non-subsidy list and 10 closed during the year. With 8 schools newly subsidized, the total number at the end of the year was 215. The maximum enrolment in these schools was 14,364 (14,247 in 1928) and the average attendance was 12,852 (13,016 in 1928). The amount of subsidies expended totalled $94,750, working out on the average to be $440.69 per school ($423.3 in 1928 and $436.14 in 1927) and $6.65 per pupil ($6.47 in 1928 and $7.01 in 1927).

Non-subsidized Schools.—137 new Day Schools were registered and 112 closed during the year. With 8 schools transferred to, and one transferred from the subsidy list, the total number of non-subsidized schools at the end of the year was 452 (as against 434 in 1928). The maximum enrolment in these schools was 21,981 (21,384 in 1928) and the average attendance was 19,678 (19,102 in 1928).

The total number of Vernacular Day Schools now existing is 673 (658 in 1928), consisting of 2 Exempted, 4 Grant, 215 Subsidized and 452 Non-subsidized schools. The maximum enrolment was 37,332 (36,642 in 1928) and the average attendance was 33,404 (33,043 in 1928), the former number including 12,940 girls.

During the last few years there has been a growing tendency to open so-called Middle Schools, and in order to make the standard uniform, a Committee was appointed by the Director of Education to draw up a Model Syllabus which all Private Middle Schools must follow. Indiscriminate admission and premature promotion to these schools are an evil which it has not been easy to suppress.

Free Scholarships.—30 boys from subsidized schools were admitted to the various Government English Schools, but of the 18 Free Places for girls at the Belilios Public School, it was only possible to fill two; great difficulty was experienced in finding students who, on entering the Belilios School, would be of the same standard in both English and Chinese as the other girls in the class. 19 candidates representing 11 schools competed for the 4 scholarships tenable at the Vernacular Middle School.

Night Schools.—During the year, 12 Night Schools were registered and 10 closed. The number at the end of the year was 22, with a maximum enrolment of 526 (423 in 1928) and an average attendance of 371 (338 in 1928).
