member of the committee was present on the occasion 

 referred to. 



In conclusion, the committee must express its 

 regret that it has no means of reporting to the legis- 

 lature the state of efficiencjj actual or comparative, 

 of any of the schools seeking aid from the Public 

 Treasury, with the single exception just mentioned, 

 which afforded one member of the committee an 

 opportimity of judging favourably of one of the 

 schools. This question, the most important con- 

 nected with these institutions, the present system of 

 granting aid provides no machinery for solving.
