Report for year ending April 30th 1906
|
|
|
The school has made great progress during the year and is brightly and intelligently taught in all subjects.
The last report should be signed by the correspondent.
In the main room long desks and dual desks are mixed up together; this should be altered in accordance with my suggestions. In the classroom for 50 the dual desks should not be six rows deep.
Attention was called in the last report to the necessity of enlarging the window in the gable end so as to admit of good left hand light; this necessary improvement in the lighting should be carried out without further delay.
The playground is in a very rough state and requires surface treatment.
