In 1861 Bishoj ' Hobhouse' established the School orna 1 nev ; ' baMs, adding considerably to the' building a! ' his own expense. ■;E It will thus be seen that' this School is; on< of the oldest educational' foundations in tbi . Country; and has always been under th< ; patronage and supervision of the Bishop o • the Diocese. ■ It^sby no means, however confined to boys of Church cf Englam parents. Among its form-/r ' and present pupils are to be found sons of Church of England, Presbyterian, Wesleyan, Baptist, and Lutheran clergy. The main object of the School is, as formerly it has been, to impart a thoroughly '• sound English and Commercial' education; i and to this end very special attention is given to reading, writing, composition, and facility in mental arithmetic. Latin and Greek, as French or German, are on tional subject®. - The religious 'instruction, which forms a considerable portion of the daily work, is free from fectariamsm, and consists of the reading of the Bible, and the teaching of those doctrines, common to all Protestant Churches. French, German, Drawing and Music lessons are given by competent masters. Parents are expected to select such extra subjects as tlu?y may consider desirable.
