Page 480 appears to be a scanned document with significant OCR errors in the initial lines, which seem to be nonsensical. The coherent text starts from "was previously held by Mr. Brewin..." and continues until the end. The initial jumbled text is likely due to OCR misinterpretation and has been omitted in the corrected version as it doesn't form coherent sentences or relevant content.
The text has been formatted into paragraphs and corrected for spelling and spacing errors. The signature "(sd.) Edward A. Irving, Inspector of Schools." has been preserved as it is.
