WOODBURY SCHOOL.

The following is the Inspector’s report of the late examination of the above school :

GENERAL REMAKES,

“ I have few remarks to make on the existing state of the school. Considering the very unusual amount of labor imposed on the Head Master, the results are thoroughly satisfactory, in especial I wish to express my sense of the general neatness with which the papers have been executed, the excellence of some of the writing, and the high degree of proficiency shown by Standard YU., Standard '/1., snd by Standard 11. The last class is the host I have yet examined in any school. “ Mr GlanviHe, the pupil teacher, obtains mi re than an ordinary measure of success in Standard 111,

Reading is, 1 think, on the whole improved, but at least in Standard 1., directly under the care of the second teacher, and occupying her chief solicitude, I look for higher quality. Both in this subject and in arithmetic the tipper division of infants falls much below ray expectations.

“ Th'iugh unconnected with the ordinary work of ihe school, it may not bo out of place here to state that the answering of the scholarship holder at present attending this school shows careful and skilful inatruction in secondary subjects. “ W. F. Anderson, “ Inspector,”
