AUCKLAND COLLEGE AND GEAMMAB SCHOOL. The Board of Governors of the Auckland College and Grammar School beg to report that they have, during the year, held twenty-one regular and eight special meetings for the despatch of business, in addition to twenty-one meetings held for the purpose of investigating certain charges brought against the conduct of some of the masters. The question of providing a boarding establishment in connection with the Grammar School has received the attention of the Board of Governors, and plans have been obtained for a building capable of accommodating the headmaster and family, assistant-master, and forty boys, with the view of proceeding with its erection during the coming year, on a site immediately contiguous to the Grammar School. The Board regrets that it has not yet been able to make arrangements for a suitable playground for the boys of the school, but, as a temporary measure, has obtained permission to make use of the field adjoining Government House. A change has been made in the headmastership of the school, the late headmaster, Earquhar Macrae, Esq., having sent in his resignation. His place has been filled by the appointment of Charles Frederick Bourne, Esq., M.A., late one of the masters of the Manchester Grammar School England. During the interval between the resignation of Mr. Macrae and the arrival of the new headmaster, Mr. Bourne, the school has been under the charge of Mr. Sloman, mathematical master. Mr. Wilson E. W. Morrison, late headmaster of the Napier Grammar School, has been appointed an assistant-master. The Governors have not lost sight of the necessity for a better system of classification, which is also regarded as of great importance by the examiners, as will be seen from their report; but, pending the arrival of the new headmaster, this question and the remodelling of the school generally have been left in abeyance. The evening classes have been continued during the year. The attendance for the last quarter has averaged thirty-one pupils. The subjects taught have been the same as during last year, viz., Latin, mathematics, English, arithmetic, and Trench. It has been proposed that this work shall, in
