The Governor considered that there should be no delay in getting the Normal School into working order and he therefore caused the appointments of the Officers to be gazetted on the 4th of this month. I enclose a copy of the Notification as well as of the Report of the Inspector of Schools on the plan of working the School.

I may state for Your Lordship's information that two days after his appointment the Principal commenced his duties and had already the ten requisite students under his charge.
