sible to trace the progress by them. It has, however, been very creditable in
several respects, and more especially as to the elder pupils and higher classes.
In the lower ones, there is a want of more frequent recapitulation and of books
better adapted to the capacity of younger children.

Seven candidates for Mastership have been examined,—three during a visit to the
schools in the Southern District, and four on the 28th inst. in Christchurch. None of them
have had any special training; but those who have shown a decided fitness for the work
have obtained certificates to that effect. Others have acquired probationary certificates.
Three candidates have failed to pass the examination.

C. L. Wiggins has obtained a certificate for the Mastership of the Akaroa School.

John Nott, for the Mastership of the proposed School at Scotsburn; it being a small
elementary school, with an average attendance of ten.

T. Mulligan and Edwin Mossman have obtained probationary certificates.

I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
