Youmati School, Kowloon (Yau Ma Tei)

Can anyone tell me anything about this school. I think it is where my grandfather taught from 1922 until invasion of HK by the Japanese. I don't know why he took up work there as he doesn't appear to have any teaching experience/qualifications unless these were gained via WW1 where he did become an officer. I don't know of any connections he had with HK or the school. Nor do I know how rececruitment may have taken place. On one return trip to HK from UK in 1937 he and his family are listed as Crown Agents.
