The enrolment and attendance this month
are much below the first month, owing TO the
prevalence of the measles among the younger
pupils. During the month the First Primary
has been reduced from 65 to Al, the A Second
Primary from 20 TO IL. the Second Primary
from 20 to 10, the First intermediate from A
to 3S, the Second intermediate from SO to A.
Arthur Culley's name should have appeared
with those who were neither absent nor tardy
during the first month.
OF the. 299 days Of absence during the
month, III were on account Of sickness; one
half, perhaps, Of the remainder was from "ur-
gent causes !" the remainder, we think, could
hare been pyepented. Parents should see that
advantage is not taken Of the change made in
the Rules" in regard to absence. The rule
last year excused only for sickness or impru-
dent exposure of health. Ifpupis are allowed
to he absent for any trivial cause, and thus the
leniency and good intentions Of the Board
abused, Of course none can complain If the
rule of last year be re-enacted. 1t is to be
hoped that all will aid in securing prompt
attendance.

The HARBoR on Tuesday last, while the
lake was as placid as mill pond, presented
quite busy appearance. The two drsdges
were making the best of the time, and the
work of deepening the channel was carried on
with gratifying facility. Both machines were
engaged upon the rock, as ii is called, but the
ease with which the dippers were filled with
lamnated ,crumbling shale would seem to throw
doubt upon the correctness of this nOmencla-
ture. The ponderous machines, however, SEEM
ed to have sufficient reserve power for even a
much harder material. Their power, was per-
haps shown. on Monday last, when one of the

broadside Of propeller some eighty or nine
ty feet long, which had lain upon the bottom
many years. 1t was raised, made fast, and
drawn out into the lake. Besides this work,
the cargo Of the Mona, portion of which had
been thrown over where she struck, was being
lightencd to the wharf, and graphing for her
anchor and chains was being elsewhere sue
cessfully carried on. And, beside this, the dis
mantling of the bark Vanderbilt, the first ves-
sci to go into winter quarters at this place, and
slowing of canvass, cordage and cable, caused
considerable activity.
The courteous attention of Mr.. DODGE in fa-
ciitating our inquiries and observation, and
showing the working Of his really wonderful
machines, is duly appreciated.
