To enable our Successors to meet the increasing demand for School accommodation.

Two Rotatory Swings are required in the play-ground, one for the boys and another for the girls.

A Teacher’s dwelling-house to be erected on the premises is also essentially necessary, that he may be in a position to exercise a proper supervision of the children as they assemble in the morning—during the dinner hour, when many of them remain in the play-ground, and after the School is dismissed—because there are many opportunities afforded a vigilant and judicious teacher for moral training at these periods of relaxation.

A Public examination of the Pupils took place on the 23rd December last, which was well attended, and the progress made by them during the previous half-year was highly gratifying. Prizes were awarded in books to the value £2 10s. 0., and refreshments were provided for the juveniles.

We have to remark in conclusion, that on our visits to the School we always found the business well ordered, and have much pleasure in recording our great satisfaction with the services of Mr. and Mrs. George.

Permit us then most respectfully to resign our charge to those whom you will now appoint to succeed us, and

We are Gentlemen,

Your very obedient Servants,

(Signed)

DANIEL RICHARDSON, Chairman.
