MASTERTON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL.
HEADMASTER'S REPORT. The monthly report of the Headmaster of the Masterton District High School, Mr W. H. Jackson, submitted to the meeting of the Masterton School Committee, last evening, stated inter alia:— Attendance, Main School, roll 623, average attendance 565, percentage of attendance 91; Side School, roll 183, average attendance 166, percentage of attendance 91; Secondary Classes, roll 74, average attendance 70, percentage of attendance 95. The attendance for the month has been very good indeed. I have pleasure in reporting that an excellent record has been made for the whole of the quarter just ended. An attendance equal to 91 per cent, of the number on the roll in all three departments has been maintained. This is highly satisfactory, and is creditable to scholars and their parents. The enclosed absentee report contains only a few names, and there are no bad cases. Mr J. Bee, M.A., took up his duties as senior secondary assistant on the Ist inst. Mr H. Sutton, junior assistant master, has been granted three months' leave of absence. One of the pupil-teachers was absent on the 2nd and 3rd inst., through illness. Arbor day has been fixed for Wednesday the 24th inst. If members of the Committee would like to be present on the occasion I will postpone Arbor Day work at the school till the following day. I enclose a report of the work I propose to take in hand. The footpath at the back of the school is in a very bad state. About ten years ago a number of loads of road spoil were put down. These have never been levelled, and parts of the path have holes which become quagmires in bad weather. A load of gravel has been put down just immediately in front of the gate, making matters a little better. I should be glad to see something more done. The Committee decided to arrange with Mr Jackson to hold the Arbor Day celebrations on Thursday, July 25th. It was also resolved to recommend the visiting members to attend to the trees at the Side School.
It was also resolved to ask the Borough Council to repair the footpath at the back of the High School.
