During the year Mr. John Hartley Smith, M.A., accepted a post in the Christchurch Boys' School. His place was taken by Mr A. S. M. Poison, 8.A., of the University of Otago, lately Secondary Master at the Waimate District High School. The school buildings are in very fair order The interior of the large room has been whitewashed, and the desks planed. Some additional fencing has been put up, and the trees thinned. Owing to the hard times the Board has made two rather serious losses in connection with its reserves rents, and there is a general tendency to a decline in revenue from the endowments of the Board.
