There are on the books 140 nainee-95 In the upper

The repotts given by thou gentlemen who hove in•
'pasted the wheel are u follows :

Mr. Laurie, Her Majenty'e Inspeetor of School., thus
writes utter Ills last visit t—" The Warehatn British
School Is no longer In an incipient date. Under the
very intelligent tuition and sealous influence of Mr.
Wise it Mu reached that stage of *Moloney and divoi.
pline from which. unlese In other and Inferior hands, it
will not recede."

Mr. Baxter, Inspector to the Brithat and Foreign
&hoot Society, writes after the examination hut year :
" The date of the school did honour to the industm of
the ohildren, the perseverance of the master, Mr. Wise,
and the unabated interest in the school 'hews by the
oommittee."

The satisfactory character of their testimonies is 'spa.
chilly gratifying when it is remembered that they are
given by gentlemen thoroughly competent to judge, and
after careful examination' of the school.

The committee hope or feel auured that all present
will carry away with them impressions no lees temourable
to the school than are these rrporta when they shall
have heard the examination which will preeently take
pleas.
