SUMMARY REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS FOR THE MONTH
(June 28—July 25.)
To the Chairman of the Board.
Sir,—I have the honour to submit a Summary Report on the schools examined during the Month.
Seven schools, including 191 children, have been examined, viz:—
Prebbleton School ... July 10 ... Present, 18 ... The school is progressing satisfactorily.
South Selwyn ... July 11 ... Present, 5 ... The attendance was reduced by the unfavourable weather and the impassable state of the roads.
Courtney ... July 12 ... Present, 18 ... Satisfactory. The Committee and the Parents take great interest in the school, many of them attending the examination.
Rangiora School ... July 17 ... Present, 47 ... The youngest class of children, between 5 and 9 years of age, was unusually backward in reading. With this exception the school passed a very satisfactory examination.
Saltwater Creek School ... July 28 ... Present, 20 ... The Arithmetic was inaccurate. The other subjects were satisfactory. There are not enough desks; only one, sufficient for seven children, of a wrong kind, and badly placed.
North Road School ... July 22 ... Present, 15 ... The new master, whose appointment waits the confirmation of the Board, appeared to be conducting the school satisfactorily. There was no fire in the school-room, a cold and gloomy one; there being no fuel on the premises. The former teacher had made a somewhat common mistake of removing his registers; and, hence, leaving no record of the attendance and payments of the Scholars during his Mastership.
Papanui St. Paul’s School ... July 22 ... Present, 68 ... Satisfactory.
John Dobson, examined on the 9th instant, obtained a certificate of competency for the Mastership of the Cust District School.
William Taylor, formerly examined, has been certified competent for the Mastership of the Woodend School.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.

Of the Schools Examined and Inspected,
St. Luke’s School ... July 29 ... Present, 78 ... The sound efficiency of the lower school, under the Mistress, shews that children under 9 years of age are capable of much more accuracy than they usually acquire in the Elementary and
