THE NEW HEBRIDES

Sydney, September 23 It is rumored that the French consuls are sounding the Australian Governments with a view to the annexation of the New Hebrides. Inquiries go to confirm the belief that some important changes are contem plated. The Premibr says he has received no information on the subject from the Imperial authorities. He is convinced that France will take no steps without consulting England, and is equally sure England will do nothing to disturb the status quo. Nothing has occurred to disturb the treaty between England and France. Missionaries recently returned from the groupe say the opinion generally exists that a movement is on foot to secure French control of the islands and considerable alarm exists among the English residents and traders The missionaries fear the annexation will put an end to protestant missions.

lH»l»e«'t©rV Rfijtort

.A •liburton ! The following is the examination re port of Inspectors on the Ashbnrton schools, which were examined on August 27, and following days : — JPASS SUBJECTS.

ADDITIONAL SUBJECTS. Repetition and Recitation—Fair Drill and Exercises—Fair Singing—Fair Needlework—Good Comprehension of reading lessons— For the most part commendable Organisation: fc6 and Mr James B. Mayae, Feadmuster ; £3, Mr David Grant, A.M. 1 ; 5?4 M'S3 Emma A. Orr, A.F. 1 ; S3, Miss Hannah Curd,, A.P. 2, and Edith Bell, pt 2 ; S2, Rosa Bonning ton, pt 4 ; 81. Percy Revell, pt 2 ; P, Mrs Willis-, Infant Mistress ; Mabel Trezise, pt4; Ronald Douglas pc 2, with S4 for eight months, and since then attached to S6. General Remarks: The work of the school, while it presents some points for ciiticis-m, yields in general quite satis factory evidences of the industry and ability of the teachers employed, and in a large proportion of its features ia of a very commendable character. Standard 6—ls an excellent class, in nearly every way prepa red with a finish characteristic of the Head Master's direct; teaching. In georgtaphy the knowledge shown ia really most admir able in the accuracy and fullness of detail wibh which it ia marked. In grammar many find the work beyond them, but there also the lines of proper instruction are cleady to be traced in the answering of a number of the pupils, In respect of the writing this may be a con venient place to observe that the practice in this subject, as the children come up from class to clas^ in the school, may be improved, though no objection can in any case be taken ta the care with which the copy-books are written. Standard s—-In this class, which is sub stantially a good one, the geography again stands out as pre-eminently the subject of special excellence, The arithmetic is of good style and the composition very fair. In reading a better class of per formance is very desirable, and in draw ing a higher standard of merit may be expected. Standard 4.—Of the principal subjects Jn this class the arithmetic is for the greater part satisfactorily worked, and the composition has been treated with ira ked success. The drawing shows careful practice, and nruiy of the children make very good answering In geography. The spelling and dictation have received very speciil attention with gratifying results; but the success in this respect appears to have been gained at the expense of the reading, which, as a whole, ia quite unworthy of the school, and in the case of a number of the children is a painfully conspicuous defect. In science the class has had the advantage of regular lessons from the headmaster in a programme of elementary botany, ex cellently considered, and as excellently treated. Standard 3 —This large clasa bis been taken well in hand by its present teacher, who has had charge of it since Christmas. The subjects ps now presented are gener-' ally creditable Composition is among Its best features, and the arithmetic is commendable. In geography a good knowledge has been secured, but It would have been wtll if more attention had been given to subsidiary practice in the spelling of the names. In reading, much buitfi> w>ald accrue to the school if in this class, as well as those below it, the practice included the use of a supple mantary reader in addition to the ordi nary standard book, the former being ißtd for reading practice alone and the latter for readinuiind spelling conjointly. Standard 2 —This class, taught by a fourth year pupil teacher, has received a careful preparation with very fair results Standard 1 and P.—ln this department of the school the severity of the weaker during the past winter appears to have d«>ne muah te retard the preparation bi the children, but wirh some allowance on thfo grown 1 in respect of finish, there has been gained a substantially good result as a whole, with ■which there Is every reason to be well satined. The Instruction is sound, the direction of Hs application ia Intelligent, ans order and discipline are all that may be desired, X,. B, Wood \ t W. J. *::- £RSONJ inspectors, {The Board's note to the r* port runs— The Inspectors' remarks oa thq reading of Standard 4 disclose the necessity for more attention being given by the e'asa teacher to this tubject; but with this exception the report is generally a very good one, the excellence of Standard 6 being pa.rlicuJa'ly noticeable.]
