Of the 1,225 girls attending Government schools 264 were in the mixed schools for British children: the Technical Institute accounted for 185, and of these 138 were teachers: the remainder were attending Belilios Public School and the Vernacular Normal School for Women.

Of the 9,470 girls attending aided schools 1,880 were English schools.
Heads of Schools are glad to co-operate with the Girl Guides and have afforded them facilities for their various activities.
There are companies of "Guides" in connection with St. Paul's College for Girls, Belilios Public School, Italian Convent School, Central British School and Diocesan Girls School.
There are "Brownie" packs in connection with Quarry Bay School, St. Paul's College for Girls, Belilios Public School, Victoria British School, Central British and Kowloon Junior Schools and Diocesan Girls School.
A company of "Rangers" consisting of ex-pupils of various schools meets at the Central British School.
Altogether there were 17 companies and packs with a total personnel of 320.
EXAMINATIONS.
(i) A table showing the results of the Matriculation and Local Examinations conducted in 1930 by the University of Hong Kong is given below.
Of those who sat for the examinations, excluding the candidates entered under "private study", 46% gained matriculation or Senior Local certificates: for the Junior Local the percentage was 38.
In both cases the girls' schools were able to show higher figures, these being 71 and 69.
The idea that only selected candidates should be entered for the examination is not to be encouraged. The selection of a few candidates who are supposed to have a chance of passing is contrary to the object of the examinations which are only of value if every boy or girl from the appropriate class is entered for them.
