Very satisfactory and creditable. The same careful classification, and adaptation of lessons to the child's capacity as at Lower Moutere; the main difference being that the Master has been two instead of three years in office.
MOTUPIPI SCHOOL—Mr. Pithey.
From various local causes this school has much fallen off. The population in its immediate neighborhood has diminished, and most of the children who attend have either to cross a river or come from a distance over marshy flats and rough hills, where there is no road.
I found, however, six children at the school who had made very fair progress, and showed careful teaching.
COLLINGWOOD SCHOOL—Mr. Neame.
9 (14)—Alphabet and words of one syllable.
3 (4)—2nd Book; read m, cannot spell.
7 (12)—3rd Book; read and spell v f. Mental Arithmetic, m.
4 (8)—4th Book; read and spell v f, explain with difficulty. Grammar m. Geography m f. Mental Arithmetic, good. Writing fairly attended to.
The state of the lower classes here does not correspond with that of the first class; which is good.
The children at the head of each class do not seem almost ready for the class above them; which is requisite to secure the continued efficiency of the school.
J. D. GREENWOOD,
Inspector.
