Portman Schools, Boys' and Girls'.-Inspected 24th May, 1849.* The number in both
schools is limited; they are, as usual, full. The pupil-teachers have given perfect satis-
faction in both schools. There is some difficulty in procuring funds, but the schools
are now connected with St. Mary's, Bryanstone-square, and there is a fair prospect of

3. Good. 5. Very satisfactory. 6. The school much improved by an excellent class-

6. Special.

but the work of instruction has to be done.

Hoddesdon.-Inspected 13th July, 1849.-I found the boys' school in a languishing
condition, for which I cannot well account. The elder boys receive a good useful edu
cation, and the master seems to have some talent for teaching; but in a population of
2000 there are not more than 40 in attendance upon the average of the last five months.
The infant school was closed for the vacation, and the girls' endowed school is not under
inspection.

* The statistics of these schools are given by the Rev. W. H. Brookfield, who inspected them during my illness.
