ions to have characterize the several Departments
The school is large one, having II scholars en-
rolled and an average daily attendance of about
60. The pupils are all small and but just out of
tho first primer, and there is no doubt but that 1t
is a school TO try the endurance and patience of
any Teacher, who has not a natural call for the
vocation.
Primary No 2, Miss WALLER, The committee
found very fair degree of order In this school, and
good evidence of progress. In spelling and read
ing, the pupils are prompt and intelligent, In
Primary Geography and Mental Arithmetic also,
they exhibited good advancement and the general
appearance ofthe school indicates earnestness and
untiring effort the part of the Teacher The
school has numbered about 50, average daily at
tendance during the term.

committee found perfect order and decorum, and
the evidence of progress. The classes were
prompt in their answers and elected the commen-
dation of the Examiners The reading was espe-
cially good for that class of scholars. The exer-
cises in Primary Geography, Mental Arithmetic
and spelling were also up to a fair standard ofex-
cellence. Miss Briggs is energetic and perseVer-
ing in the School Room Her school has averaged
over SO daily attendance during the term
intermediate No l, Miss HENRY. In every
step upward the Examiners found a correspond
ing advancement in the pupils. In Miss Henry's
room, the pupils evince thorough drilling and u
full appreciation Of the studies gone over. The

their answers orderly in their behavior, and in
terested in all their studies-points that enter
largely into the composition of every successful
school This school has averaged aboyt ~ daily

the Examiners found in ali respects model one
The most perfect order is kept and the classes are
all as near perfect in the studies they have been
over, as they could be expected to be. In Menta
Arithmetic, especially, the committe found mos
