OUR STATE SCHOOLS.
TO THB EDITOR.
Sin,—Will some of your readors, or yourself in a footnote, kindly inform me and your readers if in the case of a State school being examined by an inspector, and he Sods this school in a disgracefully backward state, and that bis report carrion conviction on the face of it, is it bio (inspector's) duty to point this out to the Education Board, or simply send in his report with others and allow the Education Board to find out for themselves (and it may be this is never done) P lam of opinion that the latter plan is the one adopted, and, if not so, someone is very much to blame. I am very much mistaken if there is not something very wrong with at least one of oar State schools—or perhaps I should say the npper standards ; the lower standards, I am informed (under a lady teacher), are well up in their work. I may state that this is written solely for the benefit of the rising generation.—l am, &c, March 7. Isteeested. [For the information of out correspondent, we may state that the reports of the examinations are copied in the Education Office, and a copy sent to each membar of the board. The board baa a committee to deal with reports, and when the report on any school is unfavourable this special committee renorts to the Ednc&tion Board,—Ed. Q.D.TJ. j
