i,tce of the Primary Schools. TO ,has labor during
the last twelve months. This labor was per-
formed. moreover, without dollar of csnpeasa-
ton, and from pure love to the cause OF popular In
struction. The system which they have adopted
for conducting the examinations IS equeiiy rgla
and efficient. Before commencing their semi-an'
nual labor, the Committees supply themselves with
books not used in the Schools, relating to the
branches upon which the classes are to ee exam
ined. The visits are made 10 the Schools without
giving them any previous notice. The lessons tor
reading are previously selected; also IS the vo-
cabuIary for spelling, and also the questions IN
arithmetic, geography and astronomy; and noted
down. The corresponding classes in each School
are examined upon the same lessons and questions,
and every incorrect answer is recorded BY one OF
the Committee in a book kept for that purpose
The examination being completed, the results are
written down, and table formed, exhibiting at
single glance the relative and comparative standing
OF every School, its excelences and deficiencies
These results are printed in Circular form, and
copy sent to every Teacher, who thus ascertalss
the relative merits Of his own School, ty which ne
is either encouraged to persevere, or warned OF
the necessity of bringing up his classes IN those
parts in which the Circular shows them to have
been deficient. A second deficiency upon the same
point is accompanied by reprimand; aud ii the
evil be not remedied by the next succeeding exam
in alton, the Teacher is dismissed. In order to
afford you perhaps more distinct idea OF the
tabular reports of one of these sem-annual exam,
nations which | have attempted to describe,
shall transmit herewith copy of the one just Is
sued to the Teachers embodying the results OF the
examinations of the Primary Schools in the lete
