The Governors of Napier Hijih School have the honour lo express their satisfaction with the steady progress and success of the schools under t heir charge. Although the number of other schools in the district undertaking secondary work has increased, the attendance has been as high as it has ever been. A noteworthy feature is the .success that has attended the junior departments, which numbered 38 in the boys' school and '.VI in the girls' school. The two additional class-rooms and new laboratory in connection with the boys' school were completed and equipped during the year, and the science work of the school is now fully organized on a satisfactory basis.
