The Committee decided to support Mr Hawkins. Tho Chairman proposed that tho Committee ask tho Board for an additional school room, 35ft x 20, as at they had 144 children on tho Hjd and only seating room for 90 scholars. After some discussion, tho matter was deferred till the next meeting, Several accounts were passed fcr payment, Tho Chairman stated that he had not sufficient in hand to meet all the olaims, but expected to be able to oloar them all npMn a few days, a3 there was money ditfuo the Committee which he would collect. The master, Mr Bennett, handed in his monthly report, also tho result of tho examination, which showed a rather large percentage of failures.
