GENERAL REMARKS.

This is a mixed School of Boys, Girls, and Infants. The books used in the School are those published by the National Board. We took for our guidance in the School the Rules and Regulations framed by the Irish National Board, and always acted in strict conformity with them. The work of the School is indicated by a time-table. The School Records consist of a Register Book, a Daily Report Book, and Class Rolls. These, as may be seen by the Commissioner’s Report, have been carefully and correctly kept. This School is not managed by any local Committee; the only Patron is the Rev. W. J. Larkin.

I have prepared the above Report, and I affirm that it is correct in every particular.

(Signed) ROSALIE REAGH, Teacher, Stafford Town.
