" The Ground. — This covers about one-tenth of an acre, is on the 

 school premises, and previously was part of the holding of the head- 

 master and head-mistress, who voluntarily gave the ground for the use 

 of the boys.

keep their boys at school for the whole year's course. There is a great 

 demand for a place in the class. 



HOUPS of InstPUetion. — Two lessons every week are given to the 

 work. Each lesson is of one hour's duration. Monday mornings and 

 Wednesday afternoons are chosen, but in the busy springtime a little 

 additional time is given, when necessary, out of school hours. 



The InstPUetOPS consist of a class-master and the caretaker of 

 schools, as well as a professional gardener, the latter being appointed 

 only this year to help in the gardening. 



The Tools are of a small make, suitable for boys, and cost about /^2, 

 although, I believe, some boys prefer to work with full-sized implements, 

 even bringing from their homes the tools required.
