A proportion of Boat Children, and these principally boys, take advantage of the educational facilities offered to them. The Inspector of Schools, as will be seen from his report, has, by my direction, just made a circuit of these institutions and he estimates that the number of Boat Children receiving instruction therein amounts to about 470, of whom only 32 are girls.
It will be necessary, therefore, to make special efforts to equalize, in regard to sex, as well as to increase the numbers of those in attendance, and taking into consideration the success which has attended similar efforts made in Victoria, there is every reason to be hopeful of ultimate success in regard to the Boat Children in the outlying districts of the Colony.
