The school mistress (Mrs Wellsop) haß resigned, and one teacher is absent on sick leave, and a relieving teacher is oarrying on the school of 59 pupils, sitting in the doorway, so that an aye may bo kept on both rooms pi, onoe. The sohool is not now regularly cleaned. The contract for this work has expired and has not boon renewed. Some of the pupils do a bit with the broom, which has the merit of a lesson in one of the rudiments of house wifery.

Education Boards in the law oourts.
