It stated, “Maindample, VIC students are forunate indeed in having what is undoubtedly the most attractively-situated school in the district, and the building and its surroundings relect the greatest credit on the head teacher, Mr. Fisher, and the conscientious and energetic members of the school committee. The school grounds are spacious and are planted with beautiful shade trees, while the vegetable and flower gardens bear eloquent testimony to the care and attention of the pupils. “The school building itself is up-to-date and comfortably furnished, and the interior of the walls are covered with exhibitions of the work of the children; work which would be a credit to scholars in secondary schools. In fact we thoroughly enjoyed our visit of inspection on Saturday last, and we feel sure that all who had the pleasure of viewing the many exhibits did so with similar feelings of gratification.”
