a great deal of sickness among the students, five of whom died after having been away on leave.

The 10 Students selected, 4 of them have been allowed to withdraw under C.0.1048 of 1882 and 134/4 of 1883 and, as above mentioned, two died, thus leaving six.

Of the six now remaining, one is weak. He is constantly complaining of strong pain, constantly raving one day's sick leave, and I fear he could not get through this year.

The fear of fever practically reduces the number of students to five, and to keep up a separate establishment for five is very expensive.

As it is impossible for the new Schools to be ready by the time they have finished their prescribed time of training, and consequently no great demand for teachers prior to that, how is the Government to engage them?

As I mentioned when before the Education Committee, the best place for a Normal School or Class is in connexion with the Central School.
