22 items, comprising an unbroken run of 19 issues from 1912 to 1930, together with the issue for 1907, and a copy of the 'Report of the Jersey National & St. Helier's Parochial Schools. 1898-1899' (1900) and the 'Rapport de l'Inspecteur Médical pour l'Année 1916' (1917). In a sturdy green cloth box ('Supplied for the Public Service'). All with stamps, shelfmarks and labels of the Board of Education Reference Library. All 22 items are uniform 8vo booklets, stitched in pink printed wraps, ranging in length from 17 to 67pp. Internally in fair condition, on aged paper, in like wraps, except for those to the reports for 1907, 1912 and 1913, which are detached and heavily chipped, with the back wrap for 1907 lacking. The annual reports consist of a mixture of French and English text, with the amount of the latter increasing as the years proceed (the report for 1907 is entirely in French, and that for 1930 is almost all in English). In addition to the report proper, the material contained includes examination questions, reports on school medical inspections and individual schools, 'Statistics relating to Cookery and Laundry Classes', lists of Public Elementary Schools, and numerous tables, including yearly fold-out tables of expenditure. The 'Report of the Jersey National & St. Helier's Parochial Schools. Established 1812', printed by Labey & Blampied, Printers and Bookbinders, The Beresford Library, 1900, is 15pp., 8vo. Written in English. Following a three-page report are lists of school staff, benefactors (with amounts) and subscriptions; with two full-page tables of accounts at the end. The 'Rapport de l'Inspecteur Médical pour l'Année 1916. Présenté au Comité Sanitaire, le 19 Mai 1917' was printed by J.-T. Bigwood in 1917. It is 17pp., 8vo, with an additional 8 fold-out tables at the end. Written in French. All three titles (the run of annual reports, the report on the schools and the medical report) are scarce: no copy any of them found on either COPAC or OCLC WorldCat.
