NAPIER BOYS' TRUST HIGH SCHOOL. The attendance has been much the same as in previous years, but during the last quarter decidedly higher than before; the number of names on the roll being 52, the average attendance about 48, and the ages of the pupils from eight to sixteen. Of this number, 45 have been learning Latin, 25 French, Euclid, and algebra, 2 German, 1 Greek, 1 trigonometry, and 20 Roman history and English literature, in addition to the various branches of English. It will thus be seen that the provision of an additional master for the school, which the trustees have resolved upon making for next year, has become an imperative necessity. From the report of the Inspector, it will be observed that decided progress has been made during the past year. Jno. Campbell, Headmaster.

NELSON COLLEGE. The accounts appended to this report show that the finances of the College continue in a satisfactory condition, although, owing to exceptional calls upon the funds during the past half-year, the balance to the credit of the current account has been somewhat reduced. Considerable expenditure 2—E. 8.
