SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS, 1910. AUCKLAND. Sir, — School Commissioners' Office, Auckland, 29th March, 1911. I have the honour to forward a statement of the Commissioners' accounts for the year 1910, which shows that the sum of £5,000 has been paid to Education Boards for primary education, and £544 18s. 9d. to secondary schools, the latter amount being considerably less than in previous years, owing to the fact that the most valuable of the reserves for secondary education in this district were handed over to the Governors of the Gisborne High School by the Gisborne High School Act, 1909. The reserves let during the year were few in number, as since the passing of the National Endowments Act not many sections have been vested in the Commissioners. The increase in the annual rental will be £356 Is. I have, &c, Oliver Nicholson, Chairman. The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington.
