SCHOOL BOARD:- At a meeting of this Board held on Monday last, August 31, there were present Messrs. E. Richardson (chairman), G. Rainbow (vice-chairman), T. Amos, O. Nicholls, and Thos. Osborne (clerk). – The minutes of the last meeting were passed as read, on the proposition of Mr. Geo. Rainbow, seconded by Mr. O. Nicholls. The annual report of Her Majesty’s Inspector upon this school was read as follows:- “Mixed School Mr. Middleton has recently taken charge of this school. He found it, and appears likely to keep it, in very good order. I hope that some assistance may be provided to supply the place of A. E. Day, pupil teacher, who has retired. Infants’ Class-Miss Gregory is doing good and persevering work in the infants’ class. Her hands are too full. A monitor ought to be appointed to help her.” – Mrs. Middleton is recognised under Article 50 of the Code, and Miss Gregory is continued under Article 68. The name of A. Day has been removed from the register. The amount of annual grant is £104 9s. 6d., £5 18s. 6d. in excess of last year. Mr. Rainbow gave notice that he should call attention to the recommendations of the Inspector in his report at the next Board meeting.-It was proposed by Mr. Geo. Rainbow seconded by Mr. O. Nicholls, “That the proportion of annual grant coming to the late master Mr. Brearley, and to Mr. Middleton, be paid, as soon as the clerk received the drawing grant.” Proposed by Rainbow, seconded by Mr. O. Nicholls, that the ash-pit belonging to the School House be emptied as possible. Cheques were signed for the usual salaries and bills.
