ning of the year, it is impossible at present to

say much about them. But I feel confident that

in Wán-tsai and Sai-ying-pfún it will sooner or later be found necessary to enlarge the teaching

staff in order to meet the demand for English

teaching in these localities. All the other Gov-

ernment schools, outside the Central School,

give only vernacular teaching, and the amount

and quality of instruction they provide is no

better than that of an ordinary village school in

the interior of China. Some of these schools are

called Aided Schools, because the original ar-

rangement was that for each of these schools the

respective village community should provide one

half of the teacher's salary in kind and the Gov-

nment provide the other half in money. In

"ty however the teacher levies a rate on each

attendance and has generally great diffi-

n obtaining even that. In some of these

I discovered soon after beginning the

'nspection, that systematic falsification of endance roll had been practised in

for months. These Aided Schools

supervision and are after all com-

ttle use.

It would be better, in

e Government would take over

rether and place better teachers

-aid schools number now 17.
