1. Organization.

2. Discipline.

Uncertain; 107. guaranteed to the master for the first year by the rector.

Okehampton.-1. A Boys' school under a master and assistant teacher; also a Girls'
school under a mistress, with an assistant teacher; and an Infant school under a
mistress. 2. The discipline is scarcely enough considered in the Boys' school; it is
good in the Girls' school. The infants have only been assembled for a short time;
there is every likelihood of this becoming a good Infant school by and by. 3. The
method is not satisfactory in the Boys' school; it is fair in the Girls' school. 4. The
instruction is limited at present, but increasing under the active superintendence of
the clergy, who take very great interest in the school. The religious instruction is
carefully given. 5. The master is very willing and anxious, but not 'practically
efficient; the assistant master is very earnest. The mistress is hard-working and
doing much good. The Infant mistress appears careful and attentive,
Otterton.-1. A Boys' school under a master, and an Infant school under a mistress.
2. No discipline in either school. 3. Method none. 4. The instruction extremely
deficient and unsound. 5. The master has been very unsuccessful in his school; the
minds of the children are in no way enlarged; the replies made by the children to
simple questions upon religious subjects very defective.

Plymouth, St Andrew's Chapel.-1. A Boys' school under a master, and a Girls'
school under a mistress. 2. Discipline good. 3. In the Boys' school attention is paid
to the first class to the detriment of the other children; in the Girls' school method is
fair. 4. Religious instruction sound and good in each school. In the Boys' school
the first class replied with some readiness to questions upon English history and a
little geography; grammar only lately commenced. The outlines of geography are
taught to the upper girls, who are not nearly so far advanced as the boys. 5. The
master was trained at Exeter; he is earnest-minded and intelligent, ready at imparting
his own knowledge, and a good disciplinarian. The mistress is a careful, attentive

person.

6. Special.

Plympton St Mary.-1. A Boys' school under a master, who also instructs the first
class of girls in the morning of each day; a Girls' school under a mistress, who under-
takes the charge of the younger class of boys. 2. Discipline moderate, but might
easily be improved. 3. Method fair in Boys' school; none in Girls' school. 4. The
instruction of the boys is improved; but there is still much more to be done. The
instruction of the girls is still very limited and unsound. 5. The master is very anxious
to succeed, and has a good school; the mistress is not practically efficient.

Pilton Barnstaple.-1. A Boys' school under a master, aided by a candidate for
pupil-teacher; a Girls' school under a mistress, with the infants under a young assistant
teacher. 2. The discipline is very fair. 3. Method fair in Boys' school, but not much
considered in the Girls' school. 4. The religious instruction is successfully given in
the Boys' school, and the first class are taught the elements of geography and grammar.
The instruction in the Girls' school is very limited. 5. The master was under training
at Exeter; he is intelligent and well informed; he examines his children nicely. The
mistress is practically inefficient.

Rose Ash.-1. A Mixed school under a master. 2. Discipline fair. 3. No method.
4. Instruction most limited. The school is only lately established, and the building
only opened at Easter. 5. The master is rather off-hand, and not judicious in manuer
and method. I examined the trust deed and audited the accounts.

St. Mary Church.-Moderately furnished with apparatus, books, &c. &c. 1. A Boys'
school under a master (also a Girls' school and Infant school, not examined). 2. Dis.
cipline fair. 3. Method satisfactory. 4. The instruction is given with much life and
spirit. The reading of the children requires to be improved. 5. The master is very
earnest and zealous, extremely kind to the children, and questions them with much
readiness. 6. The ventilation of the school-building is not good.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. 3. Methods.

1. Organization.
Tavistock-1. A Boys' school under a master and one candidate for pupil-teacher;
also a Girls' school under a mistress and one candidate; with an Infant school under
an assistant teacher. 2. In the Boys' school the discipline is fair, and very good in
the Girls' school 3. The method unsatisfactory. 4. The reading in the Boys' school
is not good; the first class answered fairly to questions upon different subjects; but
the younger children are too much neglected. The girls read well, and are well
instructed upon religious subjects. Grammar and geography only lately introduced.
5 The master requires to devote more time to his junior classes. The mistress is
upon the whole, a successful teacher, quiet in manner, and a good disciplinarian.
The Infant mistress is very young, and has only just entered upon her work.

Tor.-1. A Girls' school under a mistress, and an Infant school under a mistress
and an assistant teacher. 2 and 3. Neither discipline nor method in Girls' school;
both very good in the Infant school. 4. Instruction most limited in the Girls' school.
The infants are taught to march about and sing, and are kept in good order; but
there is not sufficient pains taken with the reading, &c. 5. The mistress of the Girls'
school requires more energy at her work; she has not been successful. The Infant
mistress appears very earnest and zealous.

Tipton.-1. A Mixed school under a mistress. 2. Discipline very fair. 3. No
method. 4. Instruction very limited. The children are certainly extremely young,
but they might have their intelligence more drawn out. 5. The mistress is not prac
tically efficient,

Upottery-1. A Mixed school uuder a mistress. 2. Discipline good. 3. Method satis-
factory. 4. The religious instruction is very fair; the reading of the first class good;
the other classes not proportionate; the first and second class answer moderately to

questions upon geography; singing pleasing. 5. The mistress is careful and attentive,
disciplines her children nicely, and appears fond of teaching.

Winkleigh.-A Mixed school under a mistress. 2. The discipline much improved.
3. Method fair. 4. The children answered very nicely to simple questions in their
religious instruction. 5. The mistress has certainly improved the school much during
the past year, and gives hope to this little school for the future.

Witheridge.-1. A Mixed school under a master, mistress, an assistant-teacher, and
two paid monitors. 2. The discipline is very fair. 3. No particular method. 4. The
instruction to the upper children is given daily by the clergyman, who works un-
ceasingly in his school and takes the greatest interest in the work. The first class
children reply with much life to questions upon Bible history and English history,
geography and grammar, and are very ready in their arithmetic; the second class work
sums in Proportion, with much skill. The religious instruction in both classes very
fair. 5. The younger children are especially under the master and mistress, who,
without the kind assistance of the clergyman, could not carry on the work. I examined
the trust-deed and audited the accounts.

Withycombe Rawleigh.-1. A Boys' school under a master and a Girls' school under a
mistress, with a female daily to teach lace-making to the girls. 2. Discipline fair.
3. Method satisfactory. 4. The instruction is limited, but given with much care; a
little geography blended with the reading lessons in the Boys' school. 5. The master
questions his children with some amount of ease and earnestness; the mistress seems
to take an interest in her work.

Willand.-1. A Mixed school under a mistress. 2 and 3. No discipline or method; and 4. Very little instruction. 5. The mistress does not appear to realize the great responsibility which her office entails upon her.
