Huron, was referred to Finance Committee. The following report of D. M. Malloch was read and ordered to be printed in the minptee:- I have the honor to submit my annual report of the schools in the inspectorate of East 'Huron for 1886, and in doing so, con- fine myself chiefly to n statement showing the total receipte and expenditures of each municipality, the amount paid for teachers salaries, /lumber of pupils entered on the various registers, average Dost per pupil for salaries, number of teachers employed, etc. During the year I examined every school in the inspectorate, and a largo number of them twioo, but owing to ill -health was un- able to take them all a second time. I may state that, ae a general rule, I take two schools a day, and no more than that num- ber under any circumstances. In some cases I have taken only ono, when the at- tendance was so large that all couldnotbe examined in half a day. The great major- ity of tho schools are making creditable progress, particularly whon teachers remain for =coral years in the same section. In sections where there is a constant change of teachers eaoh year, the progress ie not so satisfactory 58 is to be desired. During the year a largo number of candidates wrote at the Entrance Examinations for admission to the High Schools of the vicin- ity, and a very fair proportion was eucooss- ful. About 210 candidates have signified their intention to write at tho approaching examinations in July. This is, of itself, a good evidence of the interest taken in edu- oational progress. The accompanying statements aro based upon the annual re. port of the trustees of each school section in the difiorent municipalities, and I beg to submit them to your favorable consider- ation, pe1v0nos30 -009ot 50 '0N :x II •logei3oz ¢o PFACIFIEV �' .�, I g slidnd to .oN k�'c,aM��„m m 'eolavl9e 8w$�c, ;m`v188i8SP I S. 1ois8andle hund.wa-nawa�w m,nma I 0 tso0 ea55OAV •pmtq no 04nge•�88318gg,a8MC8 00001951 c b�+i•lu%N UNN mpp b�FD'�ti i O -Ir -•.i Gi-•tli Vi O'I L•rNN,-I,i rl n N p ppWW yw ti 2kw PiOPweR e,1n7lOnodae t„ 8, $�N� n i9A03i Naga. i, ;,y 5,•tc ww •, cavi tn.,Pl'oem menet ...ti e dlsool .t248`.f0wa1 8i w mom . itl ii1 'm a a g , oiA '11 A p 7� C,g�' d b O'o a 0,' Q„ 4wmAA4.4WUmegFI '80139190 ,91011090,7, .8. by-law of Mullett council with rata - once to a road allowance was confirmed.

In reference to a communfoatlon from J. R.
