BOARD OF EDUCATION.
(NOVEMBER 26—DECEMBER 30, 1869.)
INSPECTOR’S MONTHLY REPORT.
To the Chairman of the Board.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit a Summary Report on the schools examined during the month.
St. Albans
... November 26 ... Present 66 ... Considerably improved; but the attainments are not well balanced. Those of the second class, reading the Dublin Third Book, are very disproportionate to those of the first class; this class cannot have had its full share of attention; their reading-book, not well chosen, is, at present, too difficult; their Bible knowledge, Spelling, Tables, and Arithmetic, are very imperfect. The lower or Infants’ School is satisfactory; the first class of the Upper School much improved. Another set of desks is wanted; there is at present only desk-room for two-thirds of the Upper School.
St. Luke’s School
... December 2 ... Present 78 ... The lower school satisfactory; the upper school, formed and provided for by the Committee, has suffered in attendance and efficiency by losing the former master.
St. Andrew’s
... December 3 ... Present 65 ... A newly erected schoolroom is on the point of completion; it is well built, and satisfactory in every respect, except that the ventilators will not close, and thus there will be too much cold and draught in wintry weather. The superior character of the school is well sustained.
