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.
The Christmas holidays having been succeeded by the harvest holidays, which commenced earlier than usually, and the occurrence of other holidays, have prevented the examination of more than a few schools.
Templeton School ... January 10 ... Present 28 ... The elder children being already engaged in the harvest, the younger ones were more fully examined. They did fairly well, excepting in Arithmetic, in which they are very backward.
Springston School ... January 11 ... Present 23 ... Satisfactory.
Lincoln School ... January 12 ... Present 28 ... Satisfactory, as to the attainments generally; but the geography of New Zealand had been neglected for want of a Map.
Leeston School ... January 13 ... Present 21 ... Satisfactory.
Southbridge School ... January 13 ... Present 21 ... Satisfactory, except that the admission register had not been obtained.
South Selwyn ... January 14 ... Present 25 ... Improving.
Two Candidates for Masterships have been examined as per special report of the 24th instant.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
T. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.
