county following is the inspectors report as presented at the last meeting of our public school board april 1st 1939 mr p b harrison georgetown ontario dear mr harrison during the past week i made my second complete inspection of your school and i wish to submit a very brief report durinmy fall visit the tune at my disposatwas abort and 1 was quite hurriea on this occasion i was able to devote an average of almost one- half day to each class room as a result more teaching was observed and more testing was done i can now report with the utmost confidence that your borad is served by an out standing group of teachers there la not a weak teacher on the whole staff and the work being done in your school is not excelled by any school in this county it is a real pleasure to visit each classroom and to observe the interest and enthusiasm of the pupils the freshness of the paint and the gooa repair in which the building is kept bear witness to the interest which the board is taking in the ac commodation the warmth and cleanliness of the school indicates an efficient caretaker attention might be directed to the advisability of extending the work in home economics and manual train ing in a town the size of george town it would seems advisable that the public and high schools should cooperate in this respect in conclusion i might add that in future owing to a change in the policy of the department an inspec tion report will probably be submitted annually instead or semi annu i shall however be glad to meet with the board at any time or otherwise cooperate in any respect possible to maintain and still further improve the standard of work being done in the georgetown public school yours sincerely l skuce first period 2 georgetown career 3 copper clifj dnpsoh 4 coppr
