the partial failure are not for us to

be fully explained by the Superin-

spelling was by far better than the
reading, and was, we are sure, much
more satisfactory to all. =

/ THIRD PRIMARY.
This school, we believe, has never
failed to pass creditably on examina
ton day. It is under the control of
Miss Woodbury., with Miss Macer as
assistant. A fault, to a greater or less
degree, discoverable in all the schools
of this grade was observed in several
classes Of this one, viz: Imperfect
enunciation and an irregular modula-
ton of the voice. The singing in this
school is, indeed, sweet; and each lit
tie girl would readily strike the chord
in harmony with the leader. The
thought suggested itself to our mind,
that, if the scholars so readily learned
to strike the same keynote in singing,
could they not as easily be taught
having a leader with a sufficient vol
ume of voiceruto; take up an intona-
ton in consonance with the reader or
speller preceding2 This would re-
move entirely, the objections SO fire.
quently urged against Primary schools.
There was nothing on the part of
teachers or scholars, however, in this
school of which either should feel
ashamed, as the following list will
in a manner show:
