of the primary schools and secondary schools, as no specific information in regard to them is in the possession of the department. Secondaey Schools. The reports of the secondary schools are given in a separate paper (E.-12). In regard to the inspection of these schools, it is proposed in future in all cases to send copies of the reports of inspection to the governing bodies and headmasters; and, in addition, to publish a summary of such reports at the end of each year in the special paper E.-12. As the inspection of the secondary schools was, unavoidably, not completed in 1899, no summary of the reports appears this year. The income of all the secondary schools for 1899 from school-fees, not including fees for boarding, was £24,713; from rents and interest, ,£22,559; from endowments administered by the School Commissioners, £3,017. The total number of pupils on the rolls in the last term or quarter of the year was 1,744 boys and 979 girls. It should be remarked that the number for the last term or quarter is almost invariably somewhat smaller than that in the earlier part of the year.
