# GRANT SCHOOLS.
40. There are, as last year, twelve English Grant Schools, the Average Attendance of which is 4,330.
41. All these schools were visited and inspected several times during the year. The work done is satisfactory, in some schools very satisfactory. Faults and weaknesses, where noticed, were discussed with the Heads of the Schools concerned. They are always anxious to co-operate with the Education Department, and to adopt any suggestions offered.
42. The equipment of some schools has deteriorated—the depreciated dollar is responsible for this.
43. The Kindergarten and Lower Classes have improved considerably. The Upper Forms in some schools produced untidy and carelessly written work—this is partly due in some instances to over-crowded timetables. Discipline has improved.
44. The girls' schools exhibited some excellent painting and needlework.
45. Increased attention is being given to Hygiene, Physical Instruction and Sports.
# PRIVATE ENGLISH SCHOOLS.
46. Day Schools. The total number of schools existing at the end of December stands at fifty as against fifty-five in 1930; the maximum number of students enrolled was 4,510 (4,331 in 1930). Six new schools were registered and eleven schools closed during the past twelve months. Amongst these schools, two are Theological Seminaries, one teaches Typewriting alone, one is a vocational school, and the majority of the rest do not attempt to have any class higher than the fourth or fifth.
47. Night Schools. At the end of the year seventy schools were in existence (eighty in 1930)—thirty-eight schools closed during the year while twenty-eight new ones were added to the list. The maximum number of students enrolled was 2,465 (2,417 in 1930) with an average attendance of 1,905. The night schools are conducted in the premises of either English or Vernacular Day Schools where furniture and apparatus are provided.
