EXAMINATION AND REPORT OF GAPES' VALLEY SCHOOL.
1 This school was examined by Dr Anderson ° on January 12th, and the following is his * report : — " General remarks.— The roll number has dropped from 38 to 29 flince the laßt examination. In other respects the eohool occupies 1 a very satisfactory position. Singing and sewing, if not quite as striking as formerly, are still deserving of the warmest commenda--3 tion, and tho Standard subjects generally show careful instruction. I cannot give any credit, however, for tbe answering of Standard 111. The geography and writing-of Standard 11. will require careful continued attention, though the former subject is a considerable improvement on the work of last year. The children are exceptionally well behaved, and the general tone of the school is excellent. Great taste continues to be shown ' m tho arrangement of objects m the schoolroom, which presents a most attractive appearance. " (Signed) W. J. Anderson, i " Inspector."
