Sc'ii,o". -The hiy,' has nc-n recently re •
duceil in numbers through the opening of a now
board school in an aejoiniug his net, Tee staff has
been materially 'weakened by the lots of the assistant
master, whose place, for so far, the managers have
it ea unable to fill, Yet the boys' attainm -tits con-
tinues very geotl, much to the credit of their skilful
aed industrious master, +Arno has winked exception-
al y h trd. His duties are too onerouse, and th ;
managers should make a vigor, us effort to provide
him with a better teaching staff. The preini.ses have
become very dingy, the fittings need partisl renew-
ing, and an aduitinal supp:y of books is required".
Girevi School. ''the girls' school is more advantage-
ously circumstanced than the boys as it has an ade-
quate number of etachers, all of them complent
persons. A new mi4tress (Miss Johnson) took
-cliarge of the school in August last, and water her
care the e ork is likely to succeed as well as it did
in ber predecessor's time. The order is remarkably
good. Very creditable attainments are sh en in
all the standards (except as regards the arithmetic
of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth standards,
which would bear improvement-). The class
subjects are, on the whole, well known, thmarh
there arc some slight imperfections which need
hardly have special notice. Sewing is yeti satis-
factorily taught." infants' School. "Miss Steele
displays praiseworthy energy in training the infants
'She outains considerable success in each of the
subjects of instruction, the results would be still
betier if the infants we:e obliged to pay greatet
attention. They should certainly not be allowed to
call out answers to questions collectively, or without
putting up betels. A creditable knowledge of ele-
mentary subj eta has been gamed, more especiady
by the first 'lass. Exercises, objects, and oiler
flfattitile branches are well cared for, The scheol-
r on; w lea would otherwise be a gloomy apart-
meet, is brightened by flowers and pictures, and the
nstru ,tion Is both lively and interesting. To en-
sure excellence throughout, perfect order is abso-
letely essential. But the condition of the school is,
on the whole, very praisworthy." Diocesan

Summary. The knewlege of the Chlistaia Year in

So re of the paper work in the Upper Divisi tn is
rather feeble. Generally the boys pae;sed a very
good ixatnination. Tire Bible knowledge in Dive
