General Remarks.—Roughly speaking the school makes a good appearance m examina tion up to and including the Third Standard. At that stage criticism practically begins, and it is a matter for grave reflection that juab where the best, most capable, and intelligent teaching might be expected, the gravest defeats occur. The Master, whose character commands the highest respect, is to be credited with any excellent ■ personal influence over the sohool, and he certainly secures a number of commendable features m subject* or classes for which he is directly responsible; but where these are accompanied as m Standards V. and VI. by more or ieis feeble arithmetic and such a complete failure m geography as is found m Standard IV. and V., it is difficult to express any general estimate of hit work m reasonably satisfactory terms. Of other members of the staff thei Mistress continues to do estimable ■ervim, and the Assistant Mistress deserves great credit for the careful and efficient treat ment! of the subjects entrusted to her m Standards lIIi and IV. In the lowest standard classes (Standard 11. and I.) the pupils are Well prepared bo meet the require ments, readily satisfying the conditions «f promotion and giving good evidence of intelligence is oral answering. Of the preparatory divisions the highest and lowest gave evidence of good promise or progress; the intermediate section was somewhat disappointing!—■ W. 3. Andirsost, Inspector,

ST. STEPHEN'S PARISH MEETING.

The adjourntd meeting of parishioners of St. Stephen's was held on Tuesday evening m the schoolroom., The attendance was one of the largest recorded at the aonaai parish masting of St. Stephen's, the ladies on this occasion being present m large numbers. All matters were freely disouaaod and the tneeting proved interesting throughout. The Chairman, the Rev. R. A. Wood thorpe, m introducing the business of the evening, said he was pleased to say that since the adjourned meeting the debit balance had been wiped out, and that the pariah commenced the year, not only with a clean sheet, but with a balance m hand. Shis happy state of affairs had been brought about by the liberality of the parishioners who had bo readily responded to the appeal of the Churchwardens* fie had been so ■hort»time m Aahburton that he thought it wonid be best for him to say as little aa possible on this occasion. As far as he had seen he felt that the Ashburton district had ft great future before it>, and that there was plenty of work for the Church. He was pleased to see ao many present that evening, and hoped they would help him m his work all they could. With regard to the work of enlargement of the Church, he hoped all would do their best to reduce the debt Incurred as quickly as possible, He would like to see the Church clear of debt, if possible m 1900, which would be the jubilee of the Canterbury settlement. At the present time he congratulated them on the satis factory state of the parish finances, and had great pleasure m moving the adoption ot the balance sheet and report before them, which he hoped they would take as read. Mr Bullock said he had to thank the parishioners for their ready contribution of funds which had enabled them to present ft balance sheet which showed a balance on the right side, and ho had pleasure m seconding the motion, which was carried. Mi Bullock informed the meeting that the incandescent burners lately installed had reduced the gas bill by £8 for the ten month's, whilst the light had been greatly improved. He endorsed the remarks, of the Chairman, and hoped all would put their shoulders to the wheel and reduce the debt on the new building as rapidly as possible', Mr B. S, Bean said he thought the bell tower required raising, as the people at Allenton could only hear the bells when the wind favored them* He hoped this matter would receive consideration, and that the school would not be forgotten, as it would require attention at no distant date. Mr Bean also made reference to the church, and the sidesmen, whom he said fidgeted the worshippers by tramping up and down the fisles, showing people into seats. He would like to see the annoyance abated, and thought sidesmen stationed at the transept would be an improvement, and save a lot of j asiaeceasary disturbance. > Mr Ferriman could' not see how they would get on without the sidesmen showing ; people into seats, as if left to themselves, visitors and others would drop into the first •eat they came to. Mr Bean thought envelopes would induce larger contributions at the offertories. Dr Trevor was of the same opinion. The envelope system would be greatly appre ciated by the vestry if it could be generally adopted, as the vestry would then have a better idea of what the income was likely to be. He hoped the annoyance complained : of by. Mr Bean would cease on. the comple tion of the churah, when'there would be seating accommodation for all.

Mr Ferrlman agreed with the envelops system, bub would like to see all contribute, nob only the heads of families, bub all mem bers. Be felt) certain that if a large portion of the 400 who atbended the services of the chnrch would make up their minds to su.b' scribe £2 each annually the dehb on the church would be extinguished by the end of the century. Mr E. Stephens, «s an old Churchwarden, congratulated the Churchwardens and Vas try on the satisfactory state of the finances, and proposed a vote of thanks which was seconded and carried. Dr. (Trevor m acknowledging the compli ment), thanked all who had helped to bring aboub the happy abate of affairs as shown by the balance-sheet:, and trusted that all would do their best again during the current year; and that they would be a^le to present a satisfactory statement at the next annual meeting.^ " Satisfactory reports on'the several Sunday schools were submitted.' Votes of thanks were passed to the lay* readers —Messrs T. A. Gates, H. Alington, and W. B. Fox,—to the ohoir, and organist, Miss Fooks, and all Church workers, and especially to Mr H. A, Gates, who had re* signed his position as paid ohoir master and had offered his services voluntarily till the Church was out of debt, Thanks were also accorded'to the sidesmen, to the ladies for iineir care of the surplices, Sec, to the mem bers of the Guild for their assistance m decorating the sacred edifice during the pasb year; to Mr J. Dent for his very valuable gratuitous seivices as overseer of the build ing operations now m progress, for which the parish would no doubt feel deeply indebted to him. Rr Trevor moved a vote of thanks to Mr and Mrs George Jameson for the handsome lectern presented to the church by them, and the motion was carried. A copy of the motion embodying the vote of thanks will be forwarded to Mr and Mrs Jameson! The work ot electing the churchwardens and vestry was then proceeded with. The Rev R. A. Woodthorpe nominated Dr Trevor as Yioar's churchwarden, and Mr Stephens proposed Mr W, Bullock as parishioners 9 churchwarden. Mr E. Stephens moved [that the Vestry be all nominated at once, and the meeting being m favor, he nominated—Messrs J. M. Cambridge, F. Ferriman, E. J. Paul. H. Shrimpton, L. J. Hobbs, J. Dent, C. D. Hardie, J. Rj Bland, P. H. Coz, and D. 0. Stock, all members of the old Yesbry, A**3 they were reflected. ' 4 yote of thanks to the chairman oon« gluded the business.
