BOARD OF EDUCATION.
(QUARTER ENDING MARCH 31, 1869.)
To the Chairman of the Board.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit a Tabular Summary of the Quarterly Returns, and a Schedule as to the efficiency of the schools examined, both for the Quarter ending March 31st.
It will be seen from the Tabular Summary that the number of attendants during the quarter has been 3017, an increase of 372 upon the corresponding quarter of last year, there being also nine more schools than at that time.
The average daily attendance has been 2055, an increase of 363. This is an unusual approximation to the gross increase; but there was an unusual discrepancy in these results last year, owing to the February floods and other circumstances.
The amount of School Fees has been £955 11s. 10d., an increase of £142 7s. 5d. during a quarter in which several schools have reduced their rate of fees.
From the Schedule as to their efficiency, it will be seen that the number of schools examined has been 38, including 1667 children, and that the results have been generally satisfactory.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.
