This school has made good progress during the year, under the able guidance of Mrs. Francis, and the children all look contented, happy, and healthy. The establishment of the To Aro Infant School and tho Newtown School has had the effect of reducing tho general attendance at the Mount Cook Infant School by about 100, but this is an advantage, because tho school wad overcrowded before. Even now it contains mote than its complement, for the number on the books is 500, whereas the building was only erected to accommodate 480. The averago attendance for the year has greatly increased, notwithstanding the reduction in the total number of children on the books. This is owing to the action of the.oomrriittee in giving prizes, not for good condttot m before— for Mrs. Francis Bays they ar« all well behaved— ' but for regular attendance, and it speaks well for the teachers and parents that no fewer than 250 children' have been in almost full attondanco throughout the year.
