 The Lectures have proved very attractive as evidenced by the

THE CORPORATION SCHOOLS. 



These Schools, which have been carried on with considerable 

 success for about forty-five years, continue in a state of efficiency 

 and usefulness, as evidenced by their crowded condition and the 

 anxiety of parents to get their children admitted. 



During the past year, at the request of this Committee, both 

 Schools have been inspected and favourably reported on by Mr. 

 Fearon, Government School Inspector for the district.
