Redgrave.-A well-built double school, with residence for master and mistress, and good playground. The children quiet and attentive; the instruction elementary, but pains taken. The examination of the Church Catechism was very satisfactory. The master and mistress trained at Norwich. The school building cost 3831.

Southwold.--This school has been conducted during the last year by a master whom I appointed at the request of the committee. Since the school has re-opened, 160 boys and 100 girls have been admitted. They are instructed in two rooms, and in separate classes, by one master and monitors. Excellent order is preserved without any undue severity. The boys read the History of England, learn geography and grammar, are well advanced in reading, and have a satisfactory knowledge of the Scriptures. The master is a conscientious and intelligent man, who has succeeded, under extremely difficult circumstances, in establishing a good school, and in winning the confidence of all parties. The trustees have agreed to suggestions by which the organization of the school is likely to be improved. Stoke by-Nayland. An inconvenient schoolroom in a cottage. The boys are intelligent and receive some general information, and appear well instructed by a zealous master. The girls read well; more time than usual given to needlework. I was favourably impressed by the manner and behaviour of the elder girls. The infants appear to be kept in good order by a respectable young teacher. Stonham-Aspal.-School building cost 2831; a handsome, well-arranged school-room. The instruction is elementary, but conducted upon a good plan. The mistress is zealous and intelligent. The children answer satisfactorily on religious subjects. Stowmarket.-Neither of these schools is in a satisfactory condition. The attendance is neither punctual nor regular. The girls are entirely ignorant of most subjects, and not advanced in any. I cannot make a more favourable report of the boys.

Stratford.-The younger children read distinctly. The attendance is very irregular, and I cannot report any improvement since last year.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON DISCIPLINE,
INSTRUCTION, &c.

Tattingstone. With the exception of geography, the instruction is quite elementary, Reading taught with some success. Writing is improved. The mistress takes pains, but is deficient in system.

Tuddenham.-The children very young, and have learned very little. The school building is in a bad state of repair.

There is

Welnethan Parva.-A neat well-built school-
The children very young, and are
instructed in elementary subjects by a re-
spectable woman, who has not had the ad-
vantage of training. The children are taken
into the fields as soon as they can cry loud
enough to frighten the crows.
Weybread.-A very handsome room.
a striking disproportion between the spacious
and expensive building and the number who
are likely to attend. The children are young,
but read well, and understand the Church
Catechism.
Westleton.-These schools are conducted with
great care; the boys now learn geography and
are intelligent. The religious instruction is
good in both schools. The grant for apparatus
has produced an excellent effect. Registration
not perfect.

Wickham-Market. A striking improvement 12 16 0 70 16 0 has taken place in the boys' school, especially in writing, arithmetic, reading, and the repetition of the Catechism.

Wickham-Skeith.-A pretty village school, in which a few young children are under the care of a young woman, sent to keep them together until the services of a regular mistress can be secured. The religious instruction is good. The school was kept by the clergyman and his wife for five weeks, and is maintained at his expense.

Wisset. The school-room is not well ventilated. The children obedient and cheerful, and read the Testament with ease. The methods are peculiar, and not unsuccessful. The clergyman fears that he will not be able to keep this school open, owing to the want of support. Witnesham.-A good school, supported by the

rector. The teachers would be much benefited by training.

Woolpit.-The children read tolerably well, and the penmanship is very good. There seems to be little or no attempt made to cultivate their intelligence. The school has the merits and demerits of a common commercial school.

2nd School.-The children are very young, the instruction elementary, but pains have been taken with the reading, and the children give pleasing answers to simple and practical questions on religious subjects.

The organization of these schools might be considerably improved with properly trained teachers.

The

24 13 0 Wolverstone.-The manners of the children are good, and the instruction shows both care and skill in the mistress. Some girls read with ease in books of general information. Wrentham.-The master and mistress are inefficient, but the children have been admirably taught by a lady who attends the school regularly. The History of England, geography, and grammar, are taught with success. infaut-school tolerably well conducted by a young mistress. Yoxford.-Both schools are in good order; the instruction is elementary, but conducted with great care. Penmanship unusually good; ciphering to the Rule of Three; and good religious instruction. The school is much improved since last year.
