provide assistance and encouragement for men and teachers who have to teach in the daytime and attend these classes with the praiseworthy object of improving themselves and the quality of their teaching.
The annual examination conducted by outside examiners is exacting. In the final year in the Men's Vernacular Classes, of seven candidates none were considered good enough to pass, though one got over 50% of the maximum and all but one more than 34%. In the second year, of nine men sitting for the terminal examination, four only were allowed to pass on to the Third Year Class. In the two First Year divisions for men only one out of 36 was allowed promotion and six of the failures were advised not to continue in the classes.
Of the Third Year Women 3 passed out of 9: in the Second Year four out of fourteen and in the First Year 10 out of 38 were allowed to go on, while 16 out of 41 in the Preparatory Divisions gained promotion.
The pass mark is high and, of the 114 candidates who failed, 40 gained 50% and 66 34% of the possible maximum of marks.
Of 46 English teachers sitting for First, Second and Third Year examinations 39 passed, two of them with distinction.
Details of other classes will be found in Chapter V.
It is clear from the attendance and the increasing numbers on roll that the Technical Institute is supplying a demand on the part of adult persons who are occupied in the daytime.
AIDED SCHOOLS.
There were 911 girls in attendance at the four Vernacular Grant Schools.
There were 4,826 boys and girls in attendance at the twelve English Schools.
Code Article 21 requires a school to have met 370 times in the year in order to qualify for a grant. This condition will be rigorously observed in future and I do not propose to recommend for a full grant any school which has less than the required number of meetings.
St. Joseph's Junior School and St. Francis' School continue without secondary departments. It is unfortunate that there are difficulties in the way of extending the system of "feeder" schools. It makes for economy and facilitates concentration of staff and equipment.
