Feilding School Committee. A meeting of the above was held last night, there being* present Mr H . Worsfold (chairman), ft J. Thompson, W. G. HajbiUle, J. Taylor, and A. W. Parker (Secnitary). Mr Hill, the head-teacher, was in attendance. Messrs W. G. Shearer, W. Carthew and J. Gouln sent apologies for being 1 absent from the meeting. The minutes of the previous meet ing" were read and confirmed. The Inspector's report on the recent school examination was read. Mr Hill explained that under the new regulations the percentage was now taken on a different basis. Last year tiny took a percentage on the roll number, leaving- out the exceptions, viz : —All those children who had attended school less ihan half time, and had failed, were not counted. This yerr the exceptions were not left out. In or.'ier that the percentage this year might be compared with that of last year he had worked it out on the same principle as the former — not having- out t!ie exceptions — with the result, that 1 his year a percentage of S-"3"75 was obtained ns against 95 5 lsist year. Taking die last two years together they had an average of 90 per cent, which, he thought, was very satisfactory. Mr Wor>io!d thought the Inspector's comments on the report were very much more favorable than last year, and taking- it all together he thought the report was a very satisfactory one. Othor members of the Committee were of the same opinion. It was proposed by Mr J. Taylor, seconded by Mr W. G. Haybittle, That the result of the la'e examination of the school was deemed satis factory by tho C\ mmittce, and that a copy of this resolution be conveyed to the Head- teacher.— Carried.
