Owing to the overlapping of the school and the financial years, and the lateness of the second session of the General Assembly of 1879, the amount shown in the above table as received from public votes within the school year 1880 includes almost the whole of the moneys voted for the secondary schools for the two financial periods 1879-80 and 1880-81. Since the presentation of last report the Inspector-General of Schools has inspected the Auckland College and Grammar School; Auckland Girls' High School; Thames High School; Christchurch Girls' High School; Timaru High School; Dunedin Boys' High School; Dunedin Girls' High School; and Invercargill Girls' High School; and he has made arrangements for paying an early visit to the Christ's College Grammar School, Christchurch. The two reports of the Royal Commission (1878-80) on the University of New Zealand and its relations to the secondary education of the colony contain a large amount of information respecting the institutions established for the promotion of the higher and secondary education.f
