REPORT

The committee of the Liverpool Church of England Scboor
Society present their eighteenth annual report to the sub-
scribers with feelings of humble gratitude for the continues
success with which it has pleased God to bless their under-
taking.
The three schools have been maintained in their stems-
torned efficiency throughout the past year ; and, owing to the-
strenuous efforts of those kind friends who have exerted
themselves in procuring fresh subscriptions, and to whom "
allusion was made in the last report, the financial position of
the society has considerably improved. With reference, how-
ever, to the balance which-the treasurer's accounts exhibit, it
must be observed that the cost of the parallel desks, which,
by the recommendation of the Government inspector, it was
determined to erect in the South School, ought to have beta
deducted from it. The delay which has occurred in their
completion has been owing to the great demand: for joiners,
and the high rate of wages which they have been for some
time receiving.
There have been but few changes during the past year.
In the South Boys' School, Mr. Snape, appointed last
October, has gone on very-steadily and industriously. The
numbers are not large, but the discipline is good, though he
has had to labour under the disadvantage of having only oue-
pupil teacher, and he in his first year of apprenticeship.
In the South Girls' School, Mrs. Brearley has continued to.
give great satisfaction to the committee, as well as to the
Government inspector, by whose recommendation an addi-
tional pupil teacher has been allowed' to the school, maize.
up the number to four.

'ln the South Infants' School, under the care of Mist Sots—
ston, appointed July, 1853, the numbers have gradually in—
creased, and the school was placed under Government In-
spection last September, and two pupil teachers apprenticed;
tn consequence of which one assistant, at .4,12 a year, instead.
of two. at £22, will, in future, be suffitient to enablethe-
mistress to conduct the school.

In the North Schools the teachers continue to give satis-
faction. The boys' school, under the new master, Mr. Be m,
maintains its very high character for efficiency and for Me
large numbers in attendance. Application has been made to
the committee of council for the extension of the advantages
of inspection and apprenticeship of pupil teachers, which the-
boys' and girls' schools enjoy, to the infants' school, which
the committee hope will be effected at the next visit of the
Government inspector.
The Naylor-street Schools are in a prosperous state; the
numbers are above the average, and the teachers highly effi-
cient. During the past year a pupil teacher has been appren-
ticed; and, with the assistance of a grant from the commit-
tee of council, an admirable set of benches and desks have°
been erected in the boys' and girls' schools.

The committee advert with Much pleasure to the satisfac-
tory accounts which they receive of the conduct and progress
of the pupil teachers in the several schools; those who are
still in the term of their apprenticeship approving themselves
to the masters and mistresses, and rendering them most im-
portant assistance, while those who have completed it mani-
fest by their conduct that it has not been spent by them in
vain. One of those apprenticed in the South Girls' School is
now mistress of a National School in Liverpool; and another
is a Queen scholar. at Warrington. One who completed his-
apprenticeship in the South Boys' School, last September, is-
now master of a Church School in Birkenhead.

The committee, during the past year, have had to lament
the loss of both their secretaries, Mr. Barker and Mr.
Higgins, to whose deep interest in its welfare, and earnest
exertions on its behalf, the prosperity of the society has bees
so greatly owing. Their places have been supplied by Mr.-
Lawrence and Mr. Herbert Jones.

In conclusion, the committee would urge upon all the
friends of the scliools•the importance of undiminished efforts
to maintain them in their efficiency, which can only be
secured by the continual addition of new subscribers to sup—
ply the place of those who, from time to time, are removed,

The average number in 'attendance at the several schools,
during the past year, have been as follows :
