pupils, is urgently necessary if, when they go out to teach, they are to introduce some measure of the physical side of education which is not being overlooked elsewhere in the new developments now taking place among the women of China.
PROVIDED SCHOOLS-TECHNICAL INSTITUTE,
57. The Teachers' classes held at the Technical Institute, a report on which will be found in Chapter V, provide a useful, although unpretentious and inexpensive opportunity for teachers to improve themselves and the quality of their teaching. The English classes were attended by forty-six teachers of whom five were in provided schools. Of these forty-six, twenty-seven were men and nineteen women. The Vernacular classes were attended by one hundred and fifty-five teachers of whom fifty were men and one hundred and five women.
AIDED SCHOOLS-ENGLISH.
58. There were 4,978 children in attendance at the twelve English schools compared with 4,826 in 1930. All of these schools held at least the minimum number of meetings required by Grant Code, Article 21.
59. At the end of the year St. Joseph's branch school moved from Chatham Road into the new building at Kowloon Tong known as La Salle College.
60. Part of St. Mary's School, Kowloon, has been pulled down and rebuilt. The new building includes a gymnasium.
61. Inspectors' annual reports drew attention to the quality of written work in boys' schools. In reports on four different schools I note the following:-"Written work, while fairly well corrected, is generally untidy and careless." "In the lower school writing was slovenly." "Writing throughout the school is not good enough." In two classes in a fourth school there is "inexcusable untidiness." In some classes of the same schools, however, I read that books were "models of neatness" and "all books were neat and carefully written."
62. Slovenly writing, which even with adults more often than not indicates slovenly thinking, is when found throughout a class an indication of inefficiency somewhere and if one teacher refuses to accept untidy work there is no reason why this should not be the case throughout a school. Unevenness of this sort would seem to indicate lack of supervision by heads of schools.
63. The written work in boys' schools compares unfavourably with that in schools for girls,
