EEPOETS ON CAVERS HAM INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. 1. Mb. Hislop's Bepobt. Sic, — Department of Education, "Wellington, 26th June, 1880. I have the honor to submit the following report on the Otago Industrial School: —■ This institution was established in January, 1869, under the provisions of " The Neglected and Criminal Children Act, 1867." As I was associated with the late Mr. St. John Branigan in carrying out the directions of the Superintendent (Mr. Macandrew) in connection with the establishment and organization of the school, and as I succeeded that gentleman as Honorary Inspector on his leaving for "Wellington, I have had ample opportunity of becoming acquainted with the management of the institution in all its details from the very outset until I left Dunedin in January, 1878. The management of the school was transferred to this department in April last. Inspection of the School. The control of the institution was placedtby the Act in the hands of the Superintendent of the province, and there is no express provision for the appointment of an inspecting officer, or committee or board of management. But it is provided by sections 42 and 44 that all persons authorized in that behalf by the Superintendent of the province, all members of the Provincial Executive Council, all members of both Houses of the Colonial Legislature, all Judges of the Supreme Court or any District Court, and all Justices of the Peace shall be entitled to visit the school, and may inscribe in a book to be kept for the purpose " any remarks or observations they may think fit to make touching or concerning the school and the master, matron, teachers, officers, servants, or inmates, or any of them." On the opening of the school Mr. Macandrew invited Mr. Branigan to accept the office of Honorary Inspector, tho duties of which he performed for some years with great zeal and ability, and with unspeakable advantage to the institution and its inmates. Shortly after Mr. Branigan's removal to Wellington the Superintendent conferred on me the Honorary Inspectorship of the school. When the Abolition Act came into operation the control of the school vested in the Governor of the colony, and was placed in charge of the Minister of 3 ustice, who requested me to continue in the performance of the duties of Honorary Inspector. I did so until I left Dunedin for Wellington in January, 1878. Shortly after my removal the Government invited four gentlemen to act as a committee of management or inspection, but three of them declined, on the ground, I believe, that the Act gave them no legal status; and since then Mr. H. Houghton has performed the duties of Honorary Inspector. Although I had no legal status as Honorary Inspector, I never experienced any difficulty under the Provincial or the Colonial Government in doing all that was really necessary to secure the proper and successful carrying-on of the work of the school. The following is a summary of what I conceive to be the duties of the Honorary Inspector: To visit the institution from time to time, and not always when expected; to take notice of the condition
