Akaroa

(From an occasional correspondent.) The schools, high and parochial, conducted by the Sisters of Mercy, Akaroa, were inspected on November 1 by Mr. W. Brock, inspector under the North Canterbury Board of Education. In the inspection report now to hand Mr. Brock says: ‘Suitable programmes were submitted, showing a satisfactory allocation of work. The display as a whole was satisfactory, and gave evidence of conscientious effort. The performance of the junior classes was sound. The upper classes are alert, and make good use of their knowledge both in written and oral exercises. Composition contains promising material, and _ brushwork and sowing are excellent, while drawing is distinctly good.’ The. tone of the schools and the discipline elicited commendatory remarks from the inspector.
