Average ... 15 30 84 Number on roll 51 46 07 A few repairs are needed: (1) One of the chains on which the swing riles broke last week, and no doubt it will be advisable to renew both of them. In future I think it would be best to put in new rings at short intervals, say, every six or eight months. (2) one of the little trap doors through which the closet pan passes is broken off. (3) The boys’ urinal needs looking to. . . . Will you also be good enough to ask the /board to supply a set of mqdels for our use in model drawing. Without something of the kind it is impossible to treat the subject systematically, and as the pupil teacher has' to take up this branch ot tec subject for her examination next year some models are really indispensable. At the saine time please ask for a T square for blackboard work, size about 24 incnes.—l am, etc., Joseph Greaves. It was resolved to attend to the items asked for by Mr Greaves as soon as possible.
