We can speak from personal observation
Of but one of the schools in this Building,
as we have not had the timeto make our
school visitations so frequent or so general
as we desired. The school we have refer
ence to, is that of Miss KATIE McELHINNEY.
It appears to be a model school: the child
rem who attend 1t are making rapid pro-
gress, and look as If they were well govern
ed both at home and by their teacher whose
efficiency, industry, and fidelity, they are
profitlng by, every day Of every term.
Their affection and regard for her were
manifested on Friday, by making her an
appropriate and handsome present. just be-
fore taking leave of her for the holiday va
cation. Other teachers also received fitting
presents from their pupils, which we have
neither the time nor the space to mention
in detail.

These schools have been doing admira-
bly,; the children that attend them are maxi
ing commendable progress. We would,
however, throw outone suggestion, in pass
ing, with reference to the Grammar School.
Some of the classes there are hurried too
rapidly over their studies the lessons as
signed are too long, Pupils who are un-
willing to lag behind must study too hard,
which some Of them can't endure long,
This should be remedied at the beginning |
of next term. The children are young yet, |
and they need not be hurried quite so fast
towards the High School. -n-I |
