Population 591; Grant $360.76

Visitation and Inspection:
Seven schools have been in operation in this District for parts of the year only.

Northern Bight registered for quarter 32, only 9 were present at examination, as the weather was very stormy and many of the pupils live a long way from the school. The Exercise and Copy Books shown me contained some very neat work. Desks are badly needed for the comfort of the pupils.

Island Cove school open for one quarter only during the years, was in session at the time of my visit, with an attendance of 20, all doing Elementary work.

Heart’s Ease. Twenty pupils present pleased me. The work was quite up to the respective Standards in all classes. I was pleased with all I saw. The school room is badly in need of paint and interior repairs.

At Long Beach, Hatchet’s Cove, St. Jones’ and Hodge’s Cove schools were open for a short period during the year with varying success.
