ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION,
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING MARCH, 1867.

To His Honor the Superintendent.

SIR,

The Board of Education has the honour to present its Annual Report for the year 1866-7, according to the terms of the “Education Ordinance, 1864.”

The periodical reports of the Inspector of Schools will be found in the Appendix to this Report, and the Board is of opinion that they give evidence, upon the whole, of an advance in the efficiency of the Schools. The defects pointed out in these reports have been to a considerable extent remedied. In one case alone, that of the Heathcote Valley School, the Board found itself compelled to exercise its power of withdrawing a part of the annual grant. The repeated warnings given by the Board having failed to produce any effect, no alternative remained. The inefficiency of this School was partly owing to a want of proper supervision on the part of the Local Committee, and partly to the remissness and unskilful management of the Master. The Local Committee has since been completely reorganised, and a new Master appointed, the result being that the work of the School is now performed in a much more satisfactory manner.
