The headmaster's report was read as follows :—■

"T have the honour to submit the following report for the past month : —Attendance: Main school, roll 634; avernee attendance. 601; percentage of attendance, 95. Side school. 17G, 159. 90: secondard classes, 66, 63. 95. A number of children in the infant at the Side school have been ill with measles during the last week or two. and this has reduced the attendance somewhat. In spite of this, i however, the attendance for the three departments is. on the whole, highly satisfactory. Tt is with great pleasure that I am"able to report that the attendance for the whole school for the muirter just ended reached the very high percentage of 96. This is the highest record for the quarter-that the school has never attained. n"d is plainly indicative of th-"> food effort of the New Attendance Herniations. , Further proof is afforded in the Monthly Attendance "Return. The list contains nine names from the main school roll, and the" total number of absences of the nine scholars amounts to 18 half days for the five weeks included in the return.
