    Tufnell, Esq., one of Her Majesty’s School Inspectors; and the Girls’ School, by the Chaplain of Magdalen Hos¬ pital on 26th June. We have been indebted to these gentle¬ men for their services in several previous years: and they have always made their examinations as searching as the short time at their disposal will allow. I transcribe their reports, which I trust you will consider perfectly satis¬ factory. Boy’s School, Witley. [Copy of Inspector’s Report.] The School is in excellent order throughout, and I must especially remark on the healthy appearance of the children. The readiness and obvious desire of all to answer the questions I put to them, and their free and open manners, is a proof that they have been kindly treated. The examination they passed indicates no small skill and diligence in their teachers, and their geography, writing, and spelling were especially deserving of commendation; but they were quite up to the average in the other subjects. E. CARLETON TUFNELL, II. M. Inspector of Schools. 19tli July, 1873. Girl’s School, London. The Magdalen, 2 6th June, 1873. My Dear Sir, On Tuesday I inspected the domestic arrangements of King Edward’s School (Girls), and found everything cleanly, neat, and wholesome. The Children looked bright and healthy. The exami¬ nation of 1872 was a very satisfactory one, and I think the new mistress has quite kept things to the goal then attained ; and 1 think you have every reason to be satisfied with the state of things in the School. Very truly yours, J. WALLACE. John Bag gall ay, Esq.
