12. Un Long School.-Head Teacher, Mr. Lam Pak To. The maximum enrolment was 100 and the average attendance was 91.
13. The process of the conversion of this school into a Vernacular "Ko Siu" School continues. In September, a "Ko Siu" II was formed to take the place of an English Class 7. The Annual Examination showed very good results; over 90% passed. The high cost of transportation is an obstacle to the passed students who wish to further their studies in the Urban Districts.
GRANT SCHOOLS.
14. The number of Grant Schools has been reduced to three as a consequence of the amalgamation of the Fairlea Girls' School with the Victoria Home in the early part of the year. The amalgamated school is the Heep Yunn School, housed in a new modern school building in Kowloon City. The school follows the same policy as the former Fairlea Girls' School, i.e., unlike the Ying Wa and St. Paul's, it follows the prescribed syllabus for Vernacular Middle Schools. In the University Examination, 50% of the top class students of both the Ying Wa and St. Paul's passed. In the Class 2 Examination, 61% of Ying Wa's candidates passed, while St. Paul's did not enter its students for this examination. The total enrolment in the three schools was 1,080, and the average attendance was 865.
PRIVATE SCHOOLS—URBAN DISTRICTS.
15. The total number of schools which received subsidies for either a part of or the whole year was 173. A few having been either removed from the Subsidy List or closed during the year, the number of Subsidized Schools at the end of the year was 167, with a total enrolment of 15,007 (15,174 in 1936) and an average attendance of 14,120 (14,305 in 1936). The number of Non-subsidized Day Schools was 591, an increase of thirty-five over last year (maximum enrolment 41,250: average attendance 38,580). The number of Night Schools has increased to 54 (24 Boys' and 30 Girls'). The total enrolment in these schools was 1,902 (740 boys and 1,162 girls), and the average attendance was 1,566. The majority of these schools are Free Schools for the Working Class, sons of labourers, servant-maids and factory girls. The total number of Private Vernacular Schools in the Urban Districts existing at the end of the year was 816 (784 in 1936), consisting of 1 Exempted, 3 Grant, 167 Subsidized, 591 Non-subsidized and 54 Night Schools. The total enrolment in these schools was 59,249 (36,943 boys and 22,306 girls), and the average attendance was 55,139.
16. The total amount of Subsidies paid was $92,130 which works out at about $532.60 per school, or $6.10 per pupil.
