Received H.M. Inspector's report which is as follows:-
Mixed school "The upper school is pursing a steady and useful career. Order is entirely satisfactory and there is a nice tone among the children. The instruction is given with much pains and is bearing good fruit."
The cleaning of the boy's offices is still shamefully neglected by the caretaker. The entry which I made in the Logbook last year has done no good whatsoever. The ventilation still remains unsatisfactory."
Infant Class "The Infant Class is in generally good condition. Some weakness is visible in the babies' class which, however, is taught under unfavourable conditions. The huge gallery is still in use and the room is badly lighted."
