Annual Report of the Milton Branch

Annual Report of the Milton Branch.

I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of the Milton Branch for the year ending 12th May, 1883.

During the year several members left the district, and their successors have not yet joined our Branch, consequently our roll number is lower than formerly.

On the 6th June; 1882, Mr Reid spoke on the necessity of some change in the syllabus, especially in the arrangement of History, Geography, and Grammar, and the motion"That Mr Petries suggestions for modification of the syllabus be sup-ported, was carried. The Branch did not hold its usual meetings during the months of Professor Scotts lectures on Physiology. After resuming, the following subjects were dealt with:(1) The School Grounds, a paper by Mr McDuff. (2) The Pupil Teacher System, a discussion introduced by Mr Mahoney.

(3) The Preparation of Teachers, a paper by Mr Reid. The Rev. Mr Chisholm agreed to read a paper at the Annual Conference.

The annual picnic was held in February at the Taieri Beach. We were joined by several members of the Dunedin and Lawrence districts, and spent a most pleasant day.

William Melrea, Interim Secretary.
