✨ Education Report and Summary
Eighteen candidates for masterships have been examined, of whom fourteen have possessed the necessary qualifications, either for the post of teacher in small country schools or in those of a higher grade.
The Board has, according to its usual practice, expended a small sum of money in the distribution of prizes to the most deserving of the scholars attending the ordinary schools. The names of the children to whom these prizes have been awarded will be found in the Appendix.
The amount of books, maps, and apparatus disposed of out of the Educational Depôt during the year is valued at £377 15s. 5d., showing an increase of £158 18s. 11d. on the value of those disposed of during the previous year. This result proves satisfactorily that the efforts of the Board to supply the various Schools with the articles necessary for their efficient working, at as low a cost as possible, have been of considerable advantage to the several Schools.
By order of the Board,
HENRY JOHN TANCRED,
28th March, 1867.
Chairman.

It will be seen from the tabular summary that during the quarter the number of attendants has been 2103, an increase of 324 upon the corresponding quarter of last year, the average daily attendance 1396, an increase of 322. The amount of school fees, £678 11s. 1d., an increase of £128 7s. 5d.

I have much satisfaction in stating that the schools generally are in a fair state of efficiency; they are for the most part well supplied with books and apparatus, and their course of instruction is, generally, well sustained.
