The
discipline in this school is improved under the new master, who
appears likely to improve it in other respects as well. Further
progress on geography would be desirable.
This
school continues to prosper. A more perfect knowledge of Scripture
should be required next year. |

This
department is well conducted, and likely to improve.
This
department is ill conducted. The attainments of the pupils are
below the average, owing apparently to want of proper instruction.
The mistress is only certified as an infant teacher, but the school
under her charge is really a girls' school. |

The
standard of instruction is higher and sounder than it was; but
the grammar is weak, and the religious knowledge (especially in
the younger classes) much below what it should be. On the whole,
the year's work is good.
This
school is not progressing as well as it should. |

In other respects the school is very fairly worked. |

The
spelling of scholars below the first class must be carefully watched,
and the first class advanced in grammar. The result of the inspection
is satisfactory.
The

This
school passed an examination which was, on the whole, fair. The
spelling throughout the school, and the geography of the first class
are slightly below the mark. What, however, is most needed, is a
more exact and systematic discipline. |

Considering
the great insufficiency of apparatus, and especially of desks in
the school, it appears to be very fairly worked by the present master. |

The
school is very fairly conducted. The numbers appear to be increasing,
and an additional class-room is much required. Mr Allen must be
careful to make the best use of the means of ventilation, not very
good, in his power. A class-room is much to be desired here, in
which the smallest scholars in the morning, and the girls with sewing
in the afternoon, might be separately taught, the school-room being
over-crowded. |
