Aylsham.-The population of Aylsham is 2000; the average attendance of the boys is 30. The school-room was in a dirty and untidy state. A new building is in progress

of erection.

Berghapton.-The mistress has had the assistance of a sewing-mistress and of two
paid monitors, of the age of 19 and 17 respectively; the organization of the school is
good, and there is a fair supply of books and apparatus. Notwithstanding these advan-
tages, the children were very ignorant, and the result of the examination far from being
satisfactory.

Ditchingham.-The first class answered nicely in Scripture, bnt in no other respect
was the result of the examination satisfactory. The mistress does not possess the
power of adapting herself to the comprehension of the children.

Norwich, Boys'-The result of the examination was very satisfactory. The efficiency of
this school is in a great measure owing to the able superintendence of the Rev. Bath Power.
The whole school learn music from notes and sing very nicely. Discipline good. Ex-
tensive alterations are about to be made in the boys' school, which promises to be one of
a superior kind.

Norwich, Girls-The chief part of the instruction is given by the assistant teacher. The
mistress is principally engaged as matron of the Training Institution, and in superin-
tending the young persons who are in training. The whole school learn music from
notes: some of the children displayed considerable proficiency. The religious know-
ledge of the children is excellent: more attention should be paid to arithmetic.

Norwich, Infants'.-A good infant school, taught by an intelligent mistress, trained at
the Home and Colonial Institution.

Blakeney.-The instruction given in both schools is of a very elementary kind, being

confined to reading, writing, and arithmetic; the girls were deficient in religious know-
ledge. No secular books have hitherto been read in either school: there are ample
funds to procure both books and apparatus.

Fakenham.-The master has taken considerable pains with his school, but the know-
ledge of the children in reference to Scripiure was scarcely satisfactory. The reading is
fair; more care than usual has been taken in order to make the children pronounce
their words distinctly.

Great Ryburgh.-A mixed school under a master: supply of books and maps defective.
The first class passed a fair examination, and the children generally have been well in-
structed in Scripture, but the standard of instruction in the lower classes is not in pro-
portion to that in the first.

Salehouse.-The instruction is of a very elementary kind, being confined to reading,
writing, and arithmetic. The school is conducted by a mother and a daughter, 15 years
of age: the principal part of the instruction is given by the daughter, who is a very
deserving girl, and has laboured hard in the school.

Ruston (East).-Boys and girls taught together by a master and mistress; the prin-
cipal part of the instruction is given by the former: the discipline of the school is fair,
and pains have been taken in order to teach the children to sing from notes; in other
respects the instruction is not skilful, nor is the school in a satisfactory state. The
children are deficient in religious knowledge.

Rougham.-The children assemble in a room in a house, there being no school-room
at present. I was informed that a suitable building was about to be erected. The
children were very ignorant, for which the master was not responsible: he has been for
a short time only in charge.
