school Examinations.

Next week will be the time set apart fol-
examinations in our schools. We copy the
following on the subject from the Ottauo
High School Journal
We have now been at work few weeks
over four terms.
This being our Gunual elimination, 1t
will be good opportunity for the patrons
and friends Of education TO visit the school
and Judge for themselves, whether the teach
ere have been diligent and faithful to their
charge, and whether the pupils have made
that progress during the year, that the pa
rents and guardians had right to expect
Ifthey have not, they may be able to dis.
cover the cause,-and in future be better
qualified to remedy the evil. If they have
made that progress, which they ought to
have made, they certainly have mcrited that
encouragement, which the presence and dp-
prOriRJ smiles of parents alone can give.
Wewould here return our thanks for the
numerous calls we have received, and would
be still grateful for more from the same
source, and from others who don't know
how we live"
We hold that the responsibility Of the
teacher is a weighty one; and not whit
behind the chiefcst in the nation 1t Is the
business of the educator to prepare the
youth of the land TO become teachers In
turn, or farmers, (and there should be none
but scientific ones), or observation-disclosures
-judgeS-ministers- statesmen-goveruor
or presidents-indeed to prepare a common
wealth TO live in harmony and bless imam
Kind generally
