DIMrKIUt HliiH HOHuOli © INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Mr D. Johnstox, Chairman of the Gisoorne District High School, has received lie following letter and report from Mv Hill, Inspector, : — I beg to forward herewith the results of che examination of the Gisborne District High School, so fur as relates to the junior division of the class, which is instructed by Mr C. H. Mann. In order to test a-i fully as possible the work done during the past year, I obtained the help of Mr Alpers, M.A., Mons. Bourgeois, and Mr Westall, whose reports will be found ■summarised with my own report. As a ivhole the pupils have done well, but Hubert Carswell, Kate Drummond, and Lily Witty deserve special mention for ho high position gained by them on the result lisfc. In consideration of the general ixcellence of Carswell's papers, the Board nis extended his scholarship for another VtMV, and I shall be obliged to you if you .vill communicate this fact to him. Education Office, Napier, December 23, 1889. [Report.] UPPEII DIVISION. . This portion of the District High School jon tains 29 pupils. Mr E. H. Maun, IJ.A., is assistant master in charge, subject to general supervision and control by tfr Morgan, the head master. The fee charged for instruction is at the rate of two guineas a quarter for each pupil, who .aust have passed Standard VI, or its iquiviilent, before being admitted to tho Masses. The pupils are divided into two classes, a senior and a junior. There arc six pupils in the former class and 23 in die latter. All the pupils in the senior •lass presented themselves in December ior matriculation in connection with the University of New 'Zealand. The junior class of 17 pupils were, examined on the . ollowing syllabus, which represented the .voik prepared since the reopening of the school in January :— r Latin : Prineipia part I, exercises 1-53, Jtrammar (the whole book), gradation (precis 1-100), gender rules (Latin primer). French : Macmillau's French oour.se Ist year), Janau's element-try French leader, 100-150 memory sentences, the common irregular verbs. English : Shakespeare's Julius Csesar x 'Blackie's school classics), a general knowledge of the play and notes, certain speeches by heart, composition, and paraphrasing, analysis and parsing of part of Act 111. Euclid : Book I. with riders. Algebra : Simple rules, easy factors, easy fractions, equations (simple), easy jU'obletns, easy simultaneous equations, easy quadratics, i.e. , a fair acquaintance with Todhunter's smaller algebra to page Arithmetic and mensuration: Generally. The papers were examined by Messrs Bourgeois, Alpers, Westall, and myself, and it' is pleasing to note that each examiner speaks in commendable terms of the work done, and on the whole, it may be said, that judging by the papers sent in for examination, the progress mado during the year is most satisfactory. It is not necessary to forward the full rciports of each examiner, but the following extracts are made for the information of the Committee. The examiner of the French paper says: — " I have great pleasure in being able to say that most of the papers examined compare favorably with those I have examined in this colony for the last seventeen years. The marks obtained range from 06 to 52 per cent. Out of 17 papers 5 only are below 50 per cent. Generally the grammatical rules are well mastered. The regular and irregular verbs, which seem to somo pupils in other schools .so difficult to learn, have been well-prepared by the Gisboine pupils. Tho translation from English into French is good, and that from French into English is excellent ; all the" >. upils without exception obtaining full marks for the translation " Le Monteur." The examiner of the Latin paper writes: — "Seventeen pupils presented themselves for examination. Of these nine have obtained more than 40 per cent, of the maximum murks and may therefore be considei'ed to have passed, while eight have fallen below tho sraudard and failed. Of the nine who passed, one (Robert Carslvell) did very good work and obtained 07 per cent., while four others have obtained more than 50 per cent. Bearing in mind tho fact that the pupils hava only had one year of secondary school work, this result may be deemed fairly satisfactory. " The examiner of the English paper says: — "The style of the work is exceedingly good, the papers neatly and legibily written and spelling excellent." With respect to Arithmetic, Mensuration, Aljiebra, and Euclid, which w,ere examined by myself, exceedingly good work was done by a majority of the pupils, the paper sent in by Carswell, Drummond, Scotter, and DuLautom* boing of a high order of merit. The schedule of marks appended herewith shows the results for each pupil in each subject examined. The excoptional results in the case of Robert Carswell have induced the Board to renew his scholarship for another year, and I shall be obliged by your making this known to him at the earliest opportunity.
