BOARD OF EDUCATION,
June 1—26, 1867.
SUMMARY REPORT FOR THE MONTH.
To the Honorable H. J. Tancred, Chairman.
Sir,—I have the honour to submit a Summary Report, for the month, on the Schools and Candidates examined.
Ten Schools, including 271 children, have been examined.
Two Candidates have been examined:
Alexander Smyth, for the mastership of the Woodend School.
William O’Brien, for that of the Akaloa School, or other vacant appointment.
OF THE SCHOOLS EXAMINED:—
Rangiora Girls’ ... June 3 ... Present, 28 ... Middling.
Oxford School ... June 4 ... Present, 24 ... Middling.
Ashley Bank ... June 5 ... Present, 26 ... Satisfactory; the attendance has improved, and the school has risen to a very creditable state of efficiency.
It is very gratifying to observe the interest now taken in their studies by several elder youths, whose earlier education had suffered neglect.
Christchurch Roman Catholic School ... June 7 ... Present, 67 ... The attendance was greatly reduced by the measles. The attainments of the children present showed that great pains had been taken by the Master and Mistress.
Arowhenua School ... June 11 ... Present, 29 ... Considerably improved. Not enough books, &c., in use. The school-hours are short, and they do not appear to be strictly observed. There is a want of smartness in the change of lessons, and in the production of the books, slates, and pencils wanted in class.
Timaru ... June 12 ... The day very cold and wet. The attendance was consequently reduced one-half. The attainments of those present were highly creditable.
Waimate ... June 13 ... Present, 26 ... The attendance was a little below the average (30), owing to the cold and showery morning.
The progress from the commencement was satisfactory. The Chairman and another member of the Local Committee, present at the examination, expressed their satisfaction with the master. The provisions of the Education Ordinance appear to be efficiently carried out.
North Road ... June 18 ... Present, 11 ... Satisfactory.
The absorption of several small farms into grazing country is said to reduce the attendance.
Halswell ... June 20 ... Present, 18 ... Satisfactory.
Tai Tapu ... June 20 ... Present, 19 ... Satisfactory.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.
