The Board of Governors bofi to report a continuance of the marked success that attends the two schools under their administration, as evidenced by the rapidly increasing rolls and the satisfactory examiiial ion results gained by both institutions. The roll of ihe liovs" school reached 202 at the opening of bhe year, of whom 14-5 were boarders, from all parts of the Dominion. With regard to the work of the schools, it is satisfactory to nod , I ha! four out of the ten Junior Scholarships awarded by the University Senate were this year gained by Waitaki. and that the hoys' school had the distinction of gaining both the first and the second place for The Dominion. During the year the Hoard ol Governors have developed and improved the equipment of the schools at verj considerable expense. Towards the close of the year an important contract was let for the levelling of spacious playgrounds, comprising 13 acres. Moreover, the environment of the school is rapidly being transformed and beautified. Duncan Sutherland, Chairman. 7—P:. 6.
