the benefit of an efficient school to
which their children can be sent as
boarders.

At Papanui the school building has been
lined and other considerable improvements
made at the cost of the inhabitants of the
district.

The Harewood Road school has also been
lined and provision made for the warming
of the school in winter, also at the sole cost of
inhabitants.

The North Road school also, besides being
lined, has received other improvements; the
whole expense having been defrayed out of
voluntary contributions.

The Rangiora school has been lined by the
same means.

The school buildings at Duvauchelles Bay
have been placed in a proper state of repair,
and the dwelling house enlarged, at the cost
of the inhabitants; in accordance with a
previous promise an increase of £20 has been
made to the annual grant in support of this
school since the completion of the work.

Other smaller improvements are being
undertaken in different schools, so that in
the opinion of the Board the state of the
buildings is much more satisfactory than was
previously the case.

SUPERIOR SCHOOLS.

Special Inspectors appointed by the Board
under the authority of the 55th Clause of
the Education Ordinance, have been engaged
in visiting and examining the pupils at the
“Superior Schools.”

The result of this inspection as regards
two out of the three schools was satisfactory,
though the Board regrets to find that this
was not the case as regards Christ’s College
Grammar School. A communication has
been made to the authorities of this last
upon the subject, and it is hoped that on a
future occasion it will be found that the
points noticed have been attended to.

Appended to this Report will be found
the Reports of the Special Inspectors.

By order of the Board,

HENRY JOHN TANCRED,
Chairman.

March 30, 1865.
