These results are^er/j^jjgod indeed' The work of the school is in every respect most satisfactory, and gives clear evidence of the skill and earnest attention of the teachers. An effort should be made however, to still farther reduce the average age for the several standards. Reading was fluent, accurate, and fairly distinct and expressive, and the language of the readinglessons was well-explained. Spelling was accurate in all the standards except rv. Writing was very good ia all respects. Arithmetic and grammar were very fairly understood by standard v., and very well by the Others ; and composition was satisfactory. The answering in geography and history was very creditable. The ortier and attention were excellent. Science and object-lessons, singing and sewing, receive due attention. ■ Wm. Taylor, Inspector.

The above Bchool was examined by Mr luspector Taylor on Friday last, being exactly twelve months to the day since the date of the last examination. It is a very heavy school for an unassisted teacher to conduct, as there are about 56 pupils on the roll, with an average attendance of 45. if the attendance averaged
five more, the school would be entitled to. tne services of a pupil-teacher or mistress. Besides the six standards, there are three infant clashes below standard i., and one jftfiU above the vi. standard. It will, tnef^fpriß, be seen that Mr Bryant, who conductsithis school with so much ability, has no light work to perform, and that, under the circumstances, the following report must be regarded as highly satisfactory, reflecting great ' credit on the teacher :—
Passes attainable, 187 ; passes attained, 160. Gross percentage of passes, 86. _i - _ [
General Bxport These percentages, though' dot quite so high' as those 1 of last year, are still veby good indeed, and are a satisfactory proof bf the efficiency of the school. , Reading was generally, accurate, fluent, and fairly expressive, and the language of the readinflessonswas creditably explained. Spelling was accurate in all the' standards, 'and writing was fair. Arithmetic was the weakest subject being poorly understood by all the standards except standards > 1., atid VI. Grammar and composition were very fair. The answering in geography and history was satisfactory. The order and attention were good ; but the pupils are not sufficiently selfreliant. Science and object lessons, singing and sewing receive due attention. ,/■ ,'\Vm. Tatlob, Inspector.
