before us the report of the oonsuittae for the rear
1865, it sap.:—" The Committee of the Dorchester
National Schools have much pleasure in again laying
before the inhabitant' of this town and neighbour-
hood a favourable report for the year that is put. The
Girls' School, as in former years, has maintained its
character for thorough efficiency, under the able
superintendence of Miss Way. In the Boys' School
decided progrs has been made during the lest
twelve mouths. The appointment of a second master,
though involving the committee in considerable
addidonal expanse, haa been most beneficial. There
is a real improvement both is the work and disci•
phne of the school, as all will bear ample testimony
ebo have an opportunity of forming a judgment for
themselves The committee are glad to mention
that Lawrence Major, formerly a pupil teacher in
tie boys' school, having passed through his career
at the Training College at Cheltenham with greet
credit to himself, has been appointed master of a
Large and important school in the metropolis • arid
that Emily Wood, pupil teacher in the girls' school.
has obtained a place in the first edam in the prelimin•
sty examinations for the Female Diocesan Training
College at Salisbury. this thing, however. is still
• matter of regret to the Committee. Neither the
hat of miliscribere, DOC the amounts subscribed by
individual, keep pace with the progress which has
been made in these school.; nor do they show as yet
that the members of the several parishes of this
borough are sufficiently alive to the duty, which is
shoat universelly recopied elsewhere, of support-
ing Me National Schools for the education of the
poor. The committee feel it insumbent upon them
to impress this upon the inhabitants of Dorchester,
aids special earnestness on the present occasion, as a
patios of the grant which has hitherto being re-
ceive,d from the County Society has already bees
iitharawn, and a further rednotioa has been
.ignified. Instead of £5O, the committee are to re-
awe £4O during the current year, and in 1861 the
mot is to be still further reduced to £3O. Under
r these criononstecoee it is earnestly hoped that
,fresh effort.' will be made amongst as, with as ,
little delay as possible, in aid of the great
and important work of Christian Education.
