✨ Education Inspection Reports
xviii.
Loburn ... July 20 ... Present 28 ... Improving.
Leithfield ... July 21 ... Present 32 ... Very moderate.
There is no control over the late and unpunctual attendance; owing to this cause, the Bible knowledge is rather deficient, for many do not arrive until the lesson is nearly or partly finished. The teaching of Writing and Arithmetic is deferred too long; several children over nine years of age had not begun to use copybooks, and only seven, the upper classes, had made any progress in Arithmetic.
Mount Grey Downs ... July 22 ... Present 22 ... The desks have been disarranged and confused in a manner quite contrary to the intention of the Board, and ill-adapted to the dimensions of the school. The children have been carefully taught. Their progress is very creditable.
Details of each examination and inspection are entered in the journal.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
(JULY 30—AUGUST 26, 1869.)
INSPECTOR’S SUMMARY REPORT FOR THE MONTH.
To the Chairman of the Board.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit a Summary Report on the schools examined during the month.
Papanui Wesleyan School ... August 2 ... Present 45 ... Some improvement, with reason to hope for more by next quarter’s examination.
St. Albans School ... August 3 ... Present 53 ... The schoolroom has been enlarged. There is now a very fine, lofty room, of 45 x 27 feet, with a wing, a part of the old building, opening into the new room at right angles to it. The walls and roof have been completely lined. There is some improvement in the discipline and attainments; and now that enlarged accommodation permits of better arrangements, a more satisfactory state of the school may reasonably be expected. The defects were pointed out at the time. The attendance of some members of committee at the next notified examination may be desirable.
