FEDERATED MALAY STATES

Chinese themselves. In the three western States there is a law compelling the attend- ance of Malay children who live within reasonable distance of a school. In recent years there has been an increased demand by Malays for vernacular and English education. All scholars at schools under the supervision of the Education Department are allowed to travel free of charge on the railways.

The population of the Federated Malay States was ascertained at the census of 1921 to be 1,324,890, compared with 1,036,999 in 1911. The male population increased in the 10 years by 27.7 per cent. and the female population by 53.4 per cent.
