SCHOOL INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
From the Wanganui Herald we make tbe following extract from the condensed report of Mr Bindon's report :—Mauy teachers have worked earnestly aud well; eornii failing through their own short coinings and badly directed offorts, others through a persistent neglect of instructions and directions. He had taken opportunities of poining out errors, and showing teachers how to work, but ;he regretted he had not more opportunities of so doing. Teachers are recommended to look through the reports on their schools, irafce work practical, avoid cram, attend to discipline, and overlook no little faults— <l inattention is a master's sin." In conclusion, Mr Bindon again reverts to the lixity shown by some parents m causing children to take advantage of the educational pri>iloges offered »h<m, specious excuses, snch as '• minding the cows," " nursing baby," •• bad roar's," &c, being very common. Paren's should c irefully bear m mifid the last two yentenges of the report, which re^d thWf ; "On compar»nS tll« »V«r«ge wflekly roll with the working average, | Had thut the loss it \v the Poard'i reronm fyoin irreguUr
attendance, has been about £6000. Imagine what could be done m the country districts with even the one-third of such a sum!"
