length of time the children had been learning, was promising.

The number on the roll is 18, inclusive of both sexes.

The average daily attendance, 16.

The children are all very young. The fees charged are 2s per week for the elder children, and 1s 6d for juniors. The fees are received by the teacher, who states that the payments are much in arrear, many of the parents being very poor.

Of school furniture, there is sufficient; but large printed placards for the instruction of the younger branches, blackboard, &c., are required.

Mr Cooper appears to be deserving of encouragement in an undertaking which does not present the most hopeful aspect.
