WAITAKI HIGH SCHOOL. 1. Bepoet of the Boaed. Sik,— Oamaru, 19th March, 1892. I have the honour to report that during the year Miss Little, the third assistant in the Waitaki Girls' High School, tendered her resignation, which was accepted. No fresh appointment was made, the attendance of pupils having decreased, the Lady Principal stating that she thought this was partly attributable to there being no arrangements for boarders. The Governors have decided to give this matter their favourable consideration, and with this object in view have agreed to give a subsidy not exceeding £50 by way of one year's rent to the matron of a private boarding establishment in connection with the Girls' High School. A very commodious gymnasium in connection with the Boys' High School has been erected without cost to the Board on the school-site. Nearly all the land set aside for sale at Eveline has been disposed of at very little advance on the reduced upset price. I have, &c, The Under-Secretary for Education, Wellington. Geoege Sumptee, Secretary. 2. General Statement of Eeceipts and Expenditure for the Year ending 31st December, 1891. Beceipts. £ s. d.
