Report of Religious Instruction.
=========================
“I was pleased with the even answering of the upper division which was most creditable as the children varied considerably in age: they evidently take a lively interest in their Religious education.
The Infants showed to more advantage than any previous examination. Much credit is due to careful and animated work here.
Thus the results of the examination were thoroughly satisfactory.”
