meetings, and on the whole they have been well attended. There was a change in the teaching stnff in September Ia6t, when Miss Darton re signed, and out of a leet of 19 candidates, Miss M. Burnside was appointed to the vacancy. We started the year with a balance of LH 17s 3d. Diu-iag the year we carried our a number of very useful works in con nection with the school grounds, such as draining, fencing, gravelling, and asphalt ing. After paying all outstanding accounts there is a balance of L4 4s Id to the credit of the incoming committee. At the yearly examination our school passed a very good examination, gaining 99 per cent of passes ; and there ia every rea son to be pleased with the management of the bchool. We are sorry to report that the attend ance of the school is falling off owing to a number of families leaving the district, the numbpr on the roll now being 64 males and 67 females. We would strongly urge upon our succes sors to try and encourage the regularity of at-endanoe, on which the success of the school greatly depends.
