The minute 3 of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. REPORT, Mr Bennett reported that the school was increasing, yet there were some children attending very irregularly, in some cases they had not been for several weeks. Mr Lee had spent half a day in the school last week and was satisfied with the work in every department. He recommended that a pupil teacher be at once appointed. Gravel had been spread on the paths and in the sheds. He suggested that paralell bars be procured and the long pole be taken down to procure the same.

It was resolved that the fencing be left in the hands of Mr Neilson, also that the specimen papers be procured. GENERAL.
