There is no more room to admit any new pupils. I therefore respectfully draw the attention of the Government to their taking into serious consideration the desirableness of erecting a permanent brick or stone building for safety from fires, and more economical working of this very useful institution. I must express my entire confidence in the untiring care, kindness, and attention bestowed on the pupils by the master and matron, who are cordially assisted by the other members of the staff. I am, &c, The Minister of Education, Wellington. H. H. Pkins, Medical Officer. Approximate Cost of Paper.— Preparation, not given; printing (1,725 copies), £2 3s. Od.
