NRS-16708 | Correspondence [Carrington Public School]

This series consists of a file of papers from Carrington Public School, whose contents include: a. Exchange of notes, dating from March, 1898, between a junior teacher at the School, taking the Upper Second Class, and the Headmaster, concerning the former's management of classes; surviving items of this correspondence are numbered 3-7; b. Notices issued (in 1898) to parents whose children were not attending school with the frequency required under clauses 20 and 21 of the Public Instruction Act; c. Letter from a pupil-teacher to the Inspector of Schools, Mr Flashman, reporting his Entrance on Duty (January, 1900); d. Rules for Public School Savings Banks, issued by the Department of Public Instruction (1892); e. Unused Departmental forms, including School Reports to the State Children Relief Department,Inventories of Departmental Property, Returns of Postage Stamps, Applications for Grants of Kindergarten Materials and Reports on Pupil-Teachers. These all appear to be of similar date to the other items in this file. f. Copy of the Electoral Roll for Adamstown, 1905.It is likely that this file is merely representative of a body of papers which will have been accumulating at the School since its opening in 1873.
