I also consulted Mr Stewart, the Registrar General, who had written an important memorandum on the Normal school, which was forwarded for Your Lordship's information by my despatch No. 192 of 19th September 1882. Mr Stewart agreed with Mr Wright in recommending that the school should be closed at once.

This school was started originally with ten students on 30th December
