To Board of Trustees, Wingham Gentlemen—I beg leave to report that I visited your school on February 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th. I found the offices clean and in a sanitary condition. The school rooms and halls were Olean, warm and comfortable. The caretaking is quite satisfactory, The discipline, order, management and progress are, as usual, quite satisfactory. The new members of the staff are doing very well, and after a little time will be- come quite used to their work. I am of the opinion that two new rooms should be provided. One to relieve the pressure below the Fourth class and the other to accommodate a Commercial Department so as to keep abreast with the demands f e the times. I believe your High School Departments have come to stay. But with two teachers for this work sufficient attention cannot be given to the Commercial branches and as most of the boys in the upper rooms will adopt commercial or manafacturing careers it is hardly treating them fairly to offer them nothing but courses of study leading up to teaching or the uni- versy. Theitestablishment of a Commercial Department is a question for the Trus- tees and the Town to solve as they deem in the best interests of the students. If you had the school room the extra cost would never be felt. I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant D. Roan, Inspector of Schools. Griffin—Lloyd—That the Management Committee look around town and see if suitable accommodation can be procured for pupils of one room, and report to the Chairman, who shall call a special meet- ing of the Board if he deems it necessary. —Carried. Griffin—Abraham—That the teachers and officers salaries be paid.—Carried. (MORN. Conri:a.—In Hawick, ou Mar. 4th, the wife of Mr. A. E. Cooper; a son. MARRIED.
