schools of the Wairarapa:—Maßterton Good spoiling throughout, many candidates in each class making no mistakes, Excellent work throughout in Standards Hands. Mrßakowell (Standard 6) is a very intelligent teachor. The school is under excellent managomcnt,and felly maintains its prestige as ono of our most

mportant schools. It is noteworth;

that no obild was absent from examination. Featherstcn,—Excellent order of class-room', the rooms being in

porfeco condition, and furnished with good taste, Tho work of Staudards 3 and 4 was not so good as the rest, specially in grammar. Much of the arithmetic was accurately worked. I am pleased with the general condition of tho school. Greytuwn.—Great improvements in standards 5, 6, and 7 work, especially in arithmetic and grammar. School in excellent condition bb to order And appointments. Goi>erally in very satisfactory working order, promising a high state of efficiency. Carterton.— Mostly weak passes in standards 3 and 4, with many failures. The teachors of these classes have been reported to tho Board as weak by tho head teachor. Miss Bannister is quite unimpressive as a teacher. There is much good work in other parts of the school, especially m the higher classes taught by tho head teacher.
