SATISFACTORY REPORTS

YEAR’S WORK IN SCHOOLS The following school committee reports will be submitted to the meetings of householders on Monday evening:—• City (Wellesley Street, Napier Street and Beresford Street). —A satisfactory year’s work is reported. The inspectors’ reports have been satisfactory, and attendance has been well maintained. Endeavours have been made to provide the schools with satisfactory playing areas, and part of the Beresford Street ground has been levelled for this purpose. The committee expresses its regret at its inability to provide free stationery for the children. Edendale.—The work during the year had maintained a high state of efficiency. Practically all the children in Standard IV., including six from the model school, passed on to the Kowhai Junior High School. The model school has continued to do very fine work. The year closed in a satisfactory financial position, the balance carried forward being £lO2. The amount to the credit of the bath fund is £2lO. Royal Oak. —The school had now reached the highest grade, 78. Overcrowding still exists, although the roll has been reduced to 553, owing to the board sending a number of the pupils to Mount Roskill. Corrugated iron sheds are still being used as classrooms. The grounds have been much improved. A very complimentary report has been received from the inspectors. Northcote.—The roll number at the end of March totalled 2D4, with an average attendance of 281.3. The school fund shows a credit balance of £34. The grounds and buildings have been maintained in a good state of repair. The report of the inspectors has been satisfactory.
