RETURN No. 2.

COMPARISON, from the CENSUS RETURNS of 1856, of CHILDREN BETWEEN FIVE AND FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGE, in VARIOUS DISTRICTS, with those now RECEIVING EDUCATION in the PUBLIC SCHOOLS of the same Districts.

DISTRICTS. Census. At School. Percentage. Remarks.
Town of Nelson 596 274 46 Many private schools.
Suburban-north 65 39 60
Suburban-south 77 50 60
Waimea-east 329 192 58

TOTALS 1,806 995 55

By the same Census, the whole population of these districts was 6,579; giving an average of 1 to 6½, nearly, receiving school education. This may be considered as a tolerably correct average; the number educated at home and at private schools compensating for the increase of population within the last eighteen months.
