The Committee, in its annual report, drew attention to the low average attenclance. The number on the roll was 503. and the average attendance 422, ag-iin*t 501 and 427 for tlie preceding years. The Inspector's report, was very satisfactory, and the whole of the pupK teachers had parsed the nectssaiy examinations. Tho balance to cn-dit 'at the end of the year was £12 ls 3d, against £34 6s 2d at the end of the previous year. This was owing to the insufficient grant for incidental expenses.
