Templeton ... June 23 ... Present 47 ... Recommencing
after the enlargement of the school; superior organization gives promise of increased efficiency.
Two candidates for masterships have been examined, one of them having had no previous experience as a teacher, and having received an inferior education, has failed to obtain a certificate; the other, Charles James Cassaigne, has had some experience and practice in the Colony of Victoria; and having a considerable aptitude for teaching, has obtained a third-class certificate of fitness, equivalent to one for the charge of a country school of about twenty-five children.
It is highly desirable to regulate the course of instruction of James Gordon, or any other pupil-teacher who may be employed under the Board; the Pupil-Teachers’ Broad Sheet published by the Committee of Council on Education may prove an available guide in this respect.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
(JUNE 30—JULY 27, 1871.)
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.
There is considerable improvement in the general efficiency. The attendance of parents and members of committee at most of the examinations indicates the amount of local interest taken in each school, and generally in the progress of education.
