The annual distribution of prises for this school took
place on Thursday, at the great school-room. The
fine old building had been most tastefully decorated
with flowers and evergreens, which gave it an exceed-
ingly pretty appearance. There was a very large
atteadance of parents and friends of the pupils, in fact

the wish of the Feoffees of this Grammar School
to adopt that kind of education which was wanted In
every town, and to endeavour to make it a place of
eelseation whisk would be beneficial to those young
persons who resorted to it. Through the widest of the
founders of the reboot the course of education was to a
great extent confined to classical subjects. and no doubt
this intention was very good, still it had been found
neeemary to smock& with it a good English 'duration,
and a study of the modern languages. As one of the
Feoffeee it bad beim to Ida • sours* of great anxiety to

The Rey. E. HrADLAND, M. A., Fellow of Cahn
College, Cambridge, and Rector of Arothwey, the
examiner in Mathematics, in alluding to the
retirement of Ile 'Nash, said be thought he
bad set a very bad example. The teak of an ri•OliDOr
was • difficult one, but he was sure all had discharged
their duties oonnientiowily. In referring to
to the u-
nshaken, he said he had a suggestion make
to the Feoffees. He thought subjoins for
boys and youths in which they were *remained
were a little too difficult ; besides it was rather
hard work for boys to be kept in for • fortoight to be
examinecL He suggested whether it would not be MON
advisable to have the exusinathe divided into two
parts, one at Midaurnmer, and the other at Christmas,
than hue it conducted all at Midsummer. He thought
such a course would ease the burden upon the boys,
and instanced the effect it had produced in his owe
college. By endeavouring to learn so many subjects
at 0000, one threw the other out of their beads. He
thought it was a little too much for boys of this age as
It would be too much for men college. He mentioaed
this as an apology, because the boys had not does so
well in his subject this year. The examiners must speak
accordins to their consaienoes, and be most my that
on the wule his examination had sot been satisfactory.
He made everyone,.. for this. He tried hard to
make the papers easy,tiad the Emend paper was a remark-
ably easy one, built was not done very unsatisfactorily.
If Mr. Nukew would allow him to give them a few
lessons on the sebfeot he should be most pleased
to do so. Euclid was a subject width was

Large structure. It was like • chain. If one

thought Euclid a very useful thing. becomes it wee
a subject for training the mind. They all knew what
great tendency men had to jump to ocaolosioos. and
this very often led to ilia, because they had no font-
thought, and the mind had not been trained; but Emend
trained the mind, and made Olen think. In arithemetio
the boys had done better, but they had not heeded the
advice in gave them last year. 'Tter had done well h

It was • rather curious thing. and perhaps the noises

that they would study theory, and that the maxim

but it was important that they should understand
the theory. The algebra was very poor. He wished to
, auks every excuse for this, becalm the boys had de-
voted so mush of their time to the Oxford and Middle
Class Examination, and they had had • new maths-
meat& master, who, perkaps, with all the new mercy
which he might bring into the ached, required that
he should be more acquainted with the bop

be able to make a more successful report He
was aware that this subject was not as attractive as
others, but stated that he bad been readier' the

came it gave hint a clear head, and enabled him to is,

The Rev. W. F. Tasosare_ „tar M.A., swath of

informed him that he was to set an easy geopaphY
