Education Office, Wanganui, 17th April, 1913. W. H. Swanger, Secretary. Auditor's Certificate. Examined and found correct, except that—(1) the transfers from the Manual and Technical Classes to the General Administration Account are without authority of law ; (2) there is no authority for the expenditure of £20 4s. interest on unpaid purchase-money ; (3) the practice of handing capitation-moneys to teachers, in respect of classes such as swimming, dressmaking and first aid, without obtaining evidence as to how the moneys are expended, is improper.
