HBH 1892 September 23 4 Port District School PORT DISTRICT SCHOOL The report of the Inspector on the examination of the Port School was forwarded to the committee yesterday. The following abstract will doubtless be gratifying both to the teachers and to the parents of the children: - Number on roll 165 boys, and 141 girls; Number examined in standards 103 boys, 88 girls, total 191. Number passed 96 boys, 77 girls, total 173 being 55.9 per cent of the number on the roll, and 90.5 per cent of those presented in standards. Last year the percentage of passes on the whole school was 53.7 and 83.1 per cent of those presented in standards. This shows a substantial improvement for the year's work. The following are the Inspector's remarks on the examination: -"The infant department under the charge of Miss MURRAY, the mistress, and the Misses PRENTICE and LINDSAY, pupil teachers. The work is much more advanced than at the date of my examination last year, and the department as a whole is in better working order. The teaching is in earnest, and the style of work shows careful supervision and guidance. The progress in each class is satisfactory." "Standard I.-Teacher in charge, Miss REDWARD, number examined 41, passed 40. The pass work has been well prepared, and much of the work is of high order of merit, arithmetic, spelling, and writing being particularly good. The class and additional subjects were well prepared, and the style of the work in the exercise and copy books gave evidence of careful supervision." "Standard II.- Teacher in charge Miss GODDRD, number examined 45, passed 45. In all the pass subjects the work is of a high order of merit, the reading, writing, and spelling mostly excellent." "Standard III.-Teacher in charge Miss SPILLER, number examined 38, excepts 2, failed 1, passed 35. The results in this standard are highly satisfactory, and good progress has been made in a wide syllabus of instructions." "Standard IV.-Teacher in charge, Mr J.H.TRIMMER. Number examined 33, passed 27. Very commendable progress has been made by this standard, and the results are on the whole satisfactory. This standard is always a very difficult one to prepare, and the progress made shows that good work has been done. The style of the work throughout is good and the improvement in reading is marked." "Standard V.-Number examined 23, excepted 1, passed 18. Standard VI.-Number examined 11, passed 8. These standards are under the immediate training of the head-master Mr WOLSTENHOLME. They have done exceedingly well, and in some cases the work is of a high order of merit. In arithmetic every pupil, excluding one except, gained pass marks, and a similar remark applies to reading, spelling, and dictation. In the class and additional subjects the work is very good, especially history, in which the class obtained full marks." "It will thus be seen that the School has passed a highly satisfactory examination, and I have to commend the master and his staff upon the fine tone existing in the school and the excellent progress made during the past year."

HBH 1892 September 23 3 Woman Franchise WOMAN FRANCHISE A most absurd fiasco has occurred in the legislative Council in connection with woman franchise. After all the tremendous fire and fury which certain Councillors have fulminated over this question they actually allowed the obnoxious provision to pass twice over without noticing it or voting on it. The interpretation clause which enacts that "person" includes woman slipped through this evening without its scope being observed by the hostile Councillors, some of whom (notably Sir George WHITMORE) were away, but who came back rampant with indignation when they discovered what had happened, and threatened all sorts of reprisals, but then they found to their horror that they had actually enacted female franchise previously without being aware of the fact, by passing clause 6, which defines the qualifications of male or female voters, specifying every person having of "his or her" own right a freehold, &c,; "and every person who has resided for one year in the electoral district for which "he or she" claims to vote. A regular row ensued on this discovery, Sir George WHITMORE threatening to stonewall the bill line by line to vote on the question, and sir Patrick BUCKLEY implied that he would take similar action as to the electoral right amendment. In the end it was agreed to take the question as to woman franchise again tomorrow.
