SPECIAL REPORT AFTER PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION ON CANDIDATES FOR JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIPS.

Twenty-two candidates have offered to compete for the four Junior Scholarships to be awarded by the Board.

They are from the following Ordinary Schools:—

From St. Paul’s, Papanui .................................. Six Candidates
” Christchurch Wesleyan .......................... Four ”
” Halswell .................................................. Two ”
” Woodend .................................................. ” ”
” Lyttelton Church of England .................. ” ”
” Christchurch Roman Catholic ............... One ”
” St. Luke’s .................................................. ” ”
” St. Michael’s ............................................. ” ”
” Rangiora .................................................... ” ”
” Ashley Bank .............................................. ” ”
” Upper Heathcote ...................................... ” ”

Two of the candidates appear to be above the limited age of 11 years, viz:—

From the Christchurch Wesleyan School—
Thomas W. Ambrose, aged 11 in May, 1866.

From the Woodend School—
Robert Booth, aged 11 in May, 1866.

One also from the Christchurch Wesleyan School—
John Jones will be 11 on the 26th June, 1866.

I have not, however, declined to take the preliminary examination of the three candidates above referred to.

I have gone through the papers of the several candidates and assigned marks according to their relative proficiency in each subject.

And it appears to me that if T. W. Ambrose and Robert Booth are disqualified by age, the candidates most eligible to compete are—

Frederick Cumberworth, Christchurch Wesleyan School,
Henry Montague Langridge, St. Paul’s School, Papanui,
Thomas Wilkinson, Halswell School,
Robert Houlihan, Christchurch Roman Catholic School,
Charles Jennings, St. Paul’s School, Papanui,
John Gifford Restell,
George Morton, Rangiora School,
James Reeve Wilkinson, Halswell School,
John A. Caygill, Christchurch Wesleyan School,
John Jones,
Robert Triggs, St. Paul’s School, Papanui,
James Hollis, Lyttelton Church of England School,
Ebenzer Thompson, Woodend School,
William Harrington, Upper Heathcote School,
James Parlane, Ashley Bank School,
George Gordon, St. Luke’s School.

The papers of all the candidates are respectfully submitted to the decision of the Board.

J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.
