NATIONAL SCHOOL ExaIMtArIONS-The following
aatiafactory paragraph appear. in the July number
of the "Witielawne Nlitiater l'arish Magazine :-
" Our National School, were. examined by H.M.
Inspeetew at the end of last March, and we have now
received hi* report. It la very aatialactory tee know
that this ill • good one, and that the Governnient
grant earned by the ochoola ix this year the largest
we have ever obtained. The number of boy, ',resented
for examination wa• 130; .4 girl.., 101: and the total
number .4 pagans in reading, writing, and arithmetic
were- in the lay..' achool, 3t.4: in the girl..' och.ol,
260. In the infanta' school WI were presented, and in
11,,. achool the ainging by note earned the full grant
.4 la. Altogether the toys' school eamed•3ll4 od.;
the girl,' achoel, 10...; and the infants'
£e7 It.. though here we lest 3.1 Get. ad. for deficient
ataff. This i, • good result, and argue, well for the
efficiency of our ach.a4a. The retort tom ia a good
"me, awl thoer there are weak pinta which are

noted in-esch dm. schools, there i; an improvement
onterved throughout. Tlet Paniphill School has
obtained a grant of KW 11r. Nd., and from the 46
presented for examination the total number 4paw,.
made was 114, which is • high per mileage. We think
the parish may be well satialled with what haw been
done by the National Schools during the put year.
The Committee are fully aware of the fact that to
impoverish the school staff is the worst po.ibh,
ocimomy, and that the Mee efficient the school iv
better it will be able to pay its way.- On 5 lay,
duly 26, ',ormolu. will be preached, and the offeftorwe
given for the National &hook and we trust a
grnernos ompvort will be Itemt.owell the work
education which our schools are doing so steadily and
well.
