Organisation. — Standard 6—S. 4, Mr James Thompson, master ; S. 3, Miss Rose Smith, assistant mistress; S. 2, Mr P. Harvey, P.T. 3; 8. 1 and P., Miss Analey, infant mistress, Misa May Stanley, P.T. 1. Remarks.-—So far as the work of the preparatory classes and the divisions in Standard 1 and 'I is concerned the results of this examination are in every way admirable. The mistreßs in charge of the infant depart ment, which includes Standard 1, continues to perform ths duties of her position with marked efficiency j and tha third year pupil teacher who is mainly icsponsible for the preparation of Standard 2, has taught his class very weli indeed. Standard 3, though possessing a " tail" d£ very weak members, has a group of pupils quite fit to enter upon the course of instruction prescribed for the next highest class with every prospect of success. The junior mistress who joined the staff abotst bix months ago and had her slawdard allotted to her is now doing very good service. The marked improvement which her pupils have made in steady and intelligent application to their work is one of the moat gratifying features disclosed in the present examination. In the three higher standards the results are somewhat uneven. Standards 4 and 6 present a substantial umount of good work, while Standard 5 is on the wmsk side. Of the subjects of instruction, reading, spelling, writing and drawing have been treated with most success; arithmetic and composition, though defective in Standard 5 are not without merit in the other two standards; and the class subjects are faithfully attempted throughout. Geography has re ceived inadequate treatment. All the three standards hive been grouped for instruction in the subject, an airungement that can rarely be aucpted with advantage when, as ia this case the programme of work to be undertaken is that set forth in the syllabus of Standard 2. In a school of this size the hit results in geography are usually secured by grouping Standards 5 and 6, and making a separate class of btaadard 4.—(Signect) L. B. Wood, inspector.
