Hokai seemed to think that by many hours the cause of education in this reason of the children were kept at school and the number of attendances they were obliged to complete, the mental exertion they have here to undergo is really more detrimental to their constitutions than the heavy weights etc. they may be compelled to carry.

In these circumstances and in presence of the strong arguments adduced by Dr Eitel, who takes a great interest in the cause of education in this Island, I trust that Your Lordship will see sufficient reason to authorize the present number of average attendances at the Schools being reduced in such a manner as is proposed in the last paragraph of the Inspector of Schools' observations.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,

J. Sleming
