The most noticeable feature is the increase of scholars in Anglo-Chinese Schools, and the corresponding though slighter decrease in the numbers of the Vernacular Schools. One Anglo-Chinese District School was closed at the beginning of the year.
The scholars in the English Schools have also increased largely, more so than the figures show, as I have omitted the figures for four Portuguese Schools which have just been closed.
The figures under the head Private Schools are interesting as they show that the Chinese themselves are inclined to spend more time and money on learning English, and less on learning Chinese.
