Inspector’s Report.

Following are Inspector Hill’s reports on the main and Woodlands Road Schools •.— WOODVILLE MAIN. Staff and distribution.—Mr Stevenson, headmaster, with trainee, Standards VII. & VI.; Mr Nicoll, second assistant'master. Standard V.; Mr Bagley, assistant master, Mr Neilson, pupil teacher. Standards IV. and III.; Miss Smith, assistant mistress, Standard II.; Miss Reid, mistress. Miss Murphy, pupil teacher (Ist year), Miss Gregory, pupil teacher (4th year), Standard I. and Prep. 11. and I. Roll, 357; present, 337; promoted, 227. REMAKES. Standard I.—This is a well taught and well advanced class. The children show commendable intelligence, and their training is very satisfactory. Standard lI.—A good class, showing careful training and satisfactory progress, except perhaps in the arithmetical progress. The children should be trained to see that every question in arithmetic involves a statement, and a request based upon the statement. The reasoning faculties should be fostered. The books are well and carefully done.

Standards 111. and Vl.—The classes are under one control. The tone is good, and the progress satisfactory as a whole. Weakness appeared in the arithmetic, and the plan suggested for Standard 11. should be carefully followed. Short cuts should be avoided i until the reasoning faculties haye been trained. Much of the class work showed careful preparation—the writing especially being goodStandard V.—This is a class of ranch promise, and the results, except in arithmetic, are good. The arithmetic has been taught, but the reascr.ing powers of the pupils are not sufficiently trained. My remarks about Sta; oard 11. apply to Standard V., and arte? ion should be paid to this aspect of training. The discipline is good, and the hooka examined show careful prepermmn. The extra work is of good quality, and the average results are satisfactory. Standard VI.—A large and attractiye class that has made good progress curthe year. The passes are numerous, and some of them strong. The finis’l of the work is not up to the standard of last year in composition and writing. Out the information is good. The reading is intelligent and the arithmetic results, including mental, yery fair. Drawing is excellently prepared, and the oral work showed good intelligence and capacity. Local government is well understood in social science, and as a whole the class is a good one. The extra work done by the pupils is of excellent quality, and the school continues to maintain a commendable position among the schools of my district.

WOODLANDS EOAD. Staff and distribution.—Miss OI?en, mistress; Master Eager,pupil teach jr. Koll, 65; present, 60; promoted, r.-i. EEMAEKS. The present mistress has been in charge since March 17th. The attendance under her is well maintained, and the progress as a whole is commendable. Traces of weakness appeared in wrhing in Standards IV. and 111., and the arithmetic in Standards IV. 111, and 11, is somewhat weak. The methods should be improved in this subject and attention paid to inductive teaching. Much mechanical preparation and the learning of a rule are poor substitutes for inductive processes. The writing should be taken systematically and the copybooks to be used should be the same for the standards. The brush-work and wood-carving are well taught and these subjects compensate for some of the traces of weakness in the subjects named. Throughout the classes reading is very good and I was much pleased with the recitation and the other classwork. The behaviour of the pupils is very good. PASS LIST.
