NATIVE SCHOOLS,

The Superintendents of the school state that they intend to floor the loft over the large school-room and use it as a dormitory. But it is obvious, chat this would only become a dormitory available for boys and single men ; and that, unless separate dormitories are erected, the training and education of females could not be satisfactorily carried on at this Institution. We have, &c, George Alfred Arney. T. M. Haultain. The Honorable C. W. Richmond, Esq , Native Minister. ACCOUNT OF EXPENDITURE OP NATIVE EDUCATION RESERVE FUND Auckland, 20th June, 1860.
