GRANT SCHOOLS.
9. The maximum enrolment in the four Grant Schools was 1,002, and the average attendance was 918. The Ying Wa Girls' School has had another successful year at the University Examinations; the other three schools do not work for this. At Fairlea Girls' School, eight students, and at St. Paul's Girls' School, five students passed out from the Middle School. One would like to see a higher standard reached in Chinese Composition in these Middle Schools. The Victoria Home has no longer a Middle School Division, but has opened a Kindergarten class.

10. Subsidized Schools. During the year, 195 schools have received subsidies, but at the end of the year, only 184 remained on the list. The maximum attendance in these schools was 15,566 (8,679 boys and 6,887 girls), and the average attendance was 14,335. The total amount of subsidies expended was $79,995, working out to be $410.23 per school or $5.14 per pupil.
11. Non-Subsidized Schools. 108 certificates were issued to new Day Schools. With 89 closed and a few others transferred to the Subsidy List, the number of non-subsidized day schools stood at 510 (487 in 1930) at the end of the year. The maximum attendance in these schools was 27,921 (19,772 boys and 8,149 girls) and the average attendance 25,154.
12. Night Schools. Fourteen Night Schools were newly registered and eleven closed during the year. The number at the end of the year was twenty-seven. The maximum enrolment was 660, consisting of 251 boys and 409 girls, and the average attendance was 496. It is interesting to note the higher figure in the number of girls than boys: this is accounted for by the fact that the girls' Night Schools which are mostly managed by the Y.W.C.A. for the benefit of the working class are larger and do more serious work than Boys' Night Schools.
13. The total number of Private Vernacular Schools in the Urban Districts is 727, consisting of 2 Exempted, 4 Grant, 184 Subsidized, 510 Non-Subsidized and 27 night schools. The maximum enrolment was 45,200 (28,853 boys and 16,347 girls), and the average attendance was 40,948 (36,935 in 1930).
14. Scholarships. The thirty scholarships for Boys, tenable at Government English Schools were competed for by ninety-one students from various subsidized schools, and were awarded to the most deserving cases. Twenty-six competed for the eighteen scholarships tenable at the Belilios School, but only five passed. The four scholarships tenable at the Vernacular Middle School were competed for by nineteen students and were awarded to the best four.
