Sir,

I have the honour to submit a Summary Report on the schools and candidates examined during the month.

Schools Examined:

Flaxton School ... April 7 ... Present 18 ... Satisfactory.
(Still affected by the protracted harvest.)

Rangiora Boys’ School ... April 8 ... Present 66 ... The Arithmetic and Tables were deficient throughout all the classes. The other subjects and the general order and discipline were very creditable.

Templeton School ... April 12 ... Present 34 ... Satisfactory.

Broadfield School ... April 13 ... Present 39 ... The excellent order, the cleanliness, and the remarkable accuracy of the children in every class were highly commendable. The teacher, educated in Canterbury, bids fair to be one of our most efficient schoolmasters.

Springston School ... April 15 ... Weather unfavourable ... Present 17 ... Satisfactory.
