Table B— continued.

This table explains itself. In the first column are given the names of the centres where schools will be established. The second column shows the annual subscription that each school will have to raise to entitle it to the share of the time of the teaching-staff noted in the third column. The third column shows the time to be devoted to each school by a member of the teaching-staff. The fourth column shows the length of the teaching-session in each of the schools. This column requires a little explanation. Looking (for example) at the number 26 in the column opposite Eeefton and Boatman's, it means that classes will be held in Eeefton for twenty-six weeks continuously, and in Boatman's for twenty-six weeks; but, as these two centres are bracketed together, their classes will be carried on together —-say, four days a week at Eeefton, and two days a week at Boatman's. In the same way, looking at the number 14 opposite Kumara, Dunganville, and Stafford, it means that classes will be carried on at each of these places for fourteen weeks continuously, the class at Kumara meeting, say, three days a week, and at each of the other places meeting one day a week. In the same way, classes will be conducted at Greymouth, Nelson Creek, Notown, Hokitika, Kanieri, and Eimu for fourteen weeks continuously, the classes at Greymouth and Hokitika meeting three times a week, while those at the other places just named will meet once a week. There is no doubt that, in many cases, the classes that meet once a week under the Government instructor will arrange to meet by themselves more frequently to repeat the experiments shown by the instructor. This is our experience hitherto, and it is wonderful how rapidly these men qualify themselves for working independently. In the fifth column is shown the number of weeks the instructors will be in the various districts bracketed together. During these periods he will be in easy communication with all his classes within the district. The sixth column shows the duration of my own visit with Goodlet to the various districts Daring these visits my duties will be to inspect the various schools, examine the students, an
