III. CITY OF MONCTON.

To JAMES R. INCH, LL. D.,

Chief Superintendent of Education.

SIR: Herewith I respectfully submit the annual report of the Board of School Trustees of the City of Moncton for the year ending December 31st, 1892.

H. A. Whitney's term of office having expired the Government appointed Joshua Peters, Esq., to fill the place; and J. K. Wran's term having expired the City Council filled the vacancy by the appointment of Geo. B. Willett.

Miss

During the first term of the year Miss Emma Condon was granted leave of absence to attend Normal School; and Miss Lillian Burtt, on account of ill health. Nettie Kelly was engaged to take Miss Condon's school and Miss Mary A. Henry that of Miss Burtt. Miss Kelly taught both a few days, when she too was compelled to retire from ill health and Miss Lilly W. Clark's services were secured.

At the commencement of the second term both Miss Condon and Miss Burtt returned to their respective departments.

You will observe by statements Nos. 5 and 6 that a number of the departments are still crowded,—the average in some cases being more than should be enrolled.

Some of the repairs recommended in last year's report have been made in so far as the appropriations would admit; but during the ensuing year the houses should be painted and the Central will probably require a new roof.

I am again pleased to report that most of the Schools are doing a grand work, and in support of this view, I take the liberty of quoting from a published interview of a Transcript reporter with Inspector Smith, in which he was reported to have said: "I find the Schools in a very satisfactory condition." "There has been a steady advancement without any particularly marked development along any special lines." "Some of the Schools show special developments." "The grading now is all that can be desired."

An examination of the abstract statements will disclose the following facts with reference to each School, Teacher, class. salary, average, percentage, enrolment, days attended, days lost, etc., etc.

A comparison will furnish food for thought and will repay for the time and trouble taken.

They also show the state of the finances.

Yours respectfully,

C. R: PALMER, Secretary to Board of Trustees.
