WAITETUNA SCHOOL.

This following is the statement of the retiring committee for the year ISB2 :—: — The total receipts amounted to £7 8& Id, and the expenditure to £6 ll&9d, leaving a credit balance of ]Gs 4d. Dining the year a change has been made m the teacher of this schoo.l by the retirement of Mr LaTiobc, and the appointment of Miss C. Spence by the Board of Education. The committee consider the distiict is veiy fmtunate in obtaining the services of such a painstaking and competent teacher as tho present school- . mistress, both as regards the childicn'& progiess in learning, and also discipline in school hours. We have to regret the unwillingness of ihe Board of Education fco appoint a sewing-mistress to this school, as we considei it is highly neceg-' Siiry lor its well-being, and hope the incoming QommittQe will make further endeavoius to obtain this object. The painting of the school-house and teacher's residence has been completed tlnough a special grant from the Board of Education for the purpose, of £12 2s Gd. There was some unpleasantness and delay in connection with this work, owing to. tho unsatisfactory manner of carrying out the contract — the committee, considering pho contract price a good one, resolved to have the work iairly done by the contractor. The retiring committee, in handing over tre management of the school to their suc,ccssois, are gratified in being able to say that they consider the Waitetuna school is in a progressive and healthy condition. — Charles Sutton, chairman.
