To the Chairman of the Board of Education.
Christchurch, June 24th, 1868.
Sir,
I beg to report, for the information of the Board, that I have examined the Candidates for the Junior Scholarships in the following subjects, viz.:—Scripture History, English Grammar, Geography, Reading, and Spelling, and am glad to be able to state that, on the whole, I consider the results are satisfactory. The Papers were very neat and well written, and the answers evinced a fair amount of intelligence on the part of the Boys. Dawson’s Scripture History Paper was highly creditable; but Schumacher’s was just the reverse, as he did not succeed in answering a single question. In English Grammar Dawson was again first, with a capital paper; Brake, Parson, and Merton also sent up very fair papers on this subject, and, judging from Carmichael’s method of parsing, he would, no doubt, have stood well if he had not, by a foolish mistake, parsed all the questions but one, instead of answering them. The Geography, I consider, did not come up to the mark. Dawson’s and Merton’s papers were carefully done; but all the boys appeared to know very little of the geography of New Zealand—those from Kaiapoi particularly—a subject to which I think a little more attention might be devoted, as being highly important. There was only one fault in the Reading, but that a serious one, viz.—that several of the boys left out their h’s and lost marks in consequence; Schumacher seemed nervous, and could not be persuaded to read at all.
I gave twenty difficult words for the Spelling, of which Parson spelt sixteen, Merton thirteen, and Brake and W. Bean twelve each; the rest did not come up to the mark.
On comparing notes with J. G. Hawkes, Esq., I find that Dawson, Merton, Parson, and W. Bean are the successful Candidates; Bean would no doubt have stood higher up on the list if he had not failed so seriously in his Geography.
I have much pleasure in recommending Brake and Heney for Extra Prizes, from whose marks it will appear that their work throughout was very creditable.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
EDW. ATH. LINGARD,
