GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.
British Schools:-The total number of pupils enrolled in the five (mixed) schools was 458 in 1930 compared with 466 in 1929. The Junior schools continue to work in co-operation with each other and with the Head Master of the Central British School. It has again been a cause of satisfaction to learn from examination results and otherwise that children proceeding to Europe from these schools are held to be well up to the standard of their age.
English Schools:-The total number of pupils enrolled in 1930 was 3,666 compared with 3,554 in 1929.
The course in these schools is eight years though only three of them have both primary and secondary departments.
Candidates for admission to Class 8, where the study of English is begun, are required to pass an examination in Chinese. The upper age limit is at present 12 plus. There is a tendency to regard this as a lower limit also.

Queen's College, King's College and Belilios Public School for Girls have both primary and secondary departments.
Ellis Kadoorie School, Yaumati School, Wantsai School and the Indian School, all known as "District Schools", have no class above 4 from which, in these schools and the
