1,500 Applications for 365 Vacancies The Shanghai Municipal Council on July 6 endorsed a recommendation submitted by the Education Board that a sub-committee, consisting of Mrs. Lancelot Giles and Messrs. Chen Che-chen and Yulin Hsi be formed to consider and formulate suggestions on possible arrangements to secure additional suitable temporary premises to accommodate as many pupils as possible in the Council's Primary Schools for Chinese children.
The Board was informed that the present enrolment in these schools was 74 per cent as compared with the figures last June, and that over 1,500 applications for admission to four of the six primary schools had already been received as against 365 vacancies.
