8. Subsidized Schools. During the year, 202 schools have at one time or other received subsidies, but only 194 remained on the Subsidy List at the end of the year. The maximum attendance in these schools was 15,766 (8,944 boys and 6,822 girls), and the average attendance was 14,359. The total amount of subsidies expended was $98,160, working out to be $485.94 per school ($410.23 in 1931) or $6.23 per pupil (5.14 in 1931). This system is working to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. Many Free Schools for the poor owe, to a great extent, their existence to this system, and in view of the financial assistance given, they are, as a rule, very willing to co-operate with this Department in maintaining a fair standard of efficiency.
9. Non-Subsidized Schools—Ninety-six certificates were issued to new Day Schools. With eighty-three closed and a few others transferred to the Subsidy List, the number of Non-Subsidized Day Schools stood at 512 at the end of year. The maximum enrolment in these schools was 29,268 (20,636 boys and 8,632 girls) and the average attendance was 26,288.
10. The growing tendency, especially among girls' schools, of starting the so-called Middle School classes, while they have neither an adequate staff nor students really fit, is a problem which has not been easy to solve.
11. Night Schools. Twenty-three Night Schools were registered, and twelve closed during the year. The number at the end of the year was thirty-eight. The maximum enrolment was 1,062 (572 boys and 490 girls), and the average attendance was 901.
12. The total number of Private Vernacular Schools in the Urban Districts is 750, consisting of 2 Exempted, 4 Grant, 194 Subsidized, 512 Non-Subsidized and 38 Night Schools. The maximum enrolment was 47,271 (30,303 boys and 16,968 girls), and the average attendance was 42,593 (40,948 in 1931).
13. Scholarships.—The thirty scholarships for Boys, tenable at Government English Schools, and the four scholarships tenable at the Vernacular Middle School were awarded to students from Subsidized Schools, selected at a competitive examination, held in
