BOARD OF EDUCATION.
(JUNE 25—JULY 29, 1869)
INSPECTOR’S MONTHLY REPORT.
To the Chairman of the Board.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit a Summary Report on the schools inspected and examined during the month.
South Selwyn ... July 6 ... Inspected (not examined) ... Present 23. Desks much too sloping. A fall of half-an-inch is sufficient, but these slope three or four inches. The routine appears to be satisfactory; the mode and method of instruction earnest, careful, and judicious.
Leeston School ... July 6 ... Present 19 ... Satisfactory, except as to the small attendance. The Committee and the parents take great interest in the school; several attended the examination.
Southbridge ... July 7 ... Present 25 ... Satisfactory. The Committee and others take great interest in the school; the Chairman and several friends attended the examination.
North Road School ... July 12 ... Present 16 ... Inspected only en route; in good working order.
Flaxton School ... July 12 ... Present 20 ... Satisfactory on the whole, and except as to the small and interrupted attendance.
Eyretown School ... July 13 ... Present 25 ... Satisfactory.
Courtenay School ... July 14 ... Present 27 ... Satisfactory.
Broadfield School ... July 15 ... Present 37 ... No stove, no firing all the winter; the necessity was pointed out and reported last year. Subsequent caution has been given, and also a fortnight’s notice of examination. Except that the knowledge of Bible History was very moderate, the attainments were satisfactory.
Templeton School ... July 15 ... Present 36 ... Considerably improved. A new stove had been put up instead of the unsafe chimney; the building had been repaired and painted. The school was in excellent order as to conduct and neatness. The Committee evidently take great interest in the school, but the very busy season prevented their attendance.
Saltwater Creek ... July 19 ... Present 32 ... Satisfactory.
Ashley Bank ... July 20 ... Present 20 ... Satisfactory progress, allowing for the very interrupted attendance.
