Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can give a list of the schools of each kind in Sierra Leone for the latest available year, together with the numbers of children attending, distinguishing boys and girls, and the total number of children receiving education?

Dr. SHIELS

(D) ASSISTED INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.
(a) Colony.

Church of England … … … Diocesan Technical Institute … 34
