54. The enrolment and average attendance were adversely affected by whooping cough, which was prevalent during the second and third terms.
55. Two of the class rooms were enlarged and a new staff room was added during the year. (b) Aided.
56. There were fifteen Grant-in-Aid English Schools, 7 for boys and 8 for girls, with a total of 6,706 children in attendance as compared with 6,362 last year. All these schools have Secondary Departments with the exception of two girls' schools, one of which is a Primary School and the other for Infants only.
57. Grants were paid at the following rates, viz., $40 in respect of Boys' Schools and $35 in respect of Girls' Schools. The Annual Reports by the Inspectors of English Schools show that satisfactory work is being done, and, as in previous years, Heads of Schools invariably adopted such improved methods, syllabus, and equipment as were recommended.
58. A block grant of $6,000 was again made to Munsang College. Government pays an annual grant of $4,800 to St. Louis Industrial School, which is conducted by the Salesian Institute.
(c) Unaided.
59. Day Schools. When the year closed, there were 50 day schools on the register as against 51 in the previous year. The total number of pupils enrolled was 3,349, including 239 girls (3,273 with 541 girls in 1935). The drop in the number of girls was due to the transference of the Maryknoll Convent School to the Grant-in-Aid List.
60. Amongst these schools, there are two Primary Schools for European children, three for the teaching of Theology of the Roman Catholic Church, four business schools for the teaching of such subjects as shorthand, typewriting, office routine, etc. The rest are Anglo-Chinese Schools working on a curriculum similar to that in provided schools.
61. Night Schools. The number of Night Schools was 72, an increase of one over the last year. The number of pupils enrolled was 2,025 (1,829 in 1935). These schools usually make use of premises occupied by Vernacular Day Schools; none of them attempts to go beyond the primary standard.
