The weekly clarion., 1873-07-03

This school closed its first annual session
on Thursday last. The examination
classes had commenced several days previ
Gus, and were very satisfactory as showing
the proficiency of the scholars, and tn
faithfulness of the teachers. On Thursday
the studY-room was well packed at an earl
hour by the patrons and friends of th'
school, and the exercises continued will
unabated interest until two O'Clock. The
verdict of the audience being that the boy.
had been thoroughly taught, and that the
foundations of education were being syste-
matically and skilIfully laid So far as the
boys had progressed, most of them proved
to be com plete masters of their studies, and
were found to be equal to the most critical
and impartial examination both by the
teachers and others Quite large number
of very elegant prizes were awarded by the
Board Of Directors for proficiency in schol-
arship and for correct department. We ap-

After the presentation of prizes, Rev. DIR.
Hunter thanked the audience for their pro-
found attention, and made some remarks
peculiarly pertinent to the occasion. He
praised the boys for their generally unex-
eeptionable department, and their applica-
tion to study, expressing the opiRion that
many of the scholars possessed the elements
of greatness, and all they wanted was
"fair shake" He referred to the insufficient
of the scLocl, and that an
other building was absolutely essential. We
have no doubt this will be provided as soon
as possible. There were upwards of sixty
boys in attendance last session, and We
should not be surprised if the number
would reach one hundred next session. |
The stockholders of the school, it will be
seen, are to hold their annual meeting on
Monday, 7th inst, when this subject will |
doubtless receive special consideration.
The Faculty of the school consists of Rev.
DIR. Hunter, as Superintendent; Prof CIV.
Principal Advanced Depart
ment; Mr.. Selden Watkins, Principal of
Primary and International Departments.
These gentlemen have been engaged for the |
next session, and will have such additional |
help as the patronage of the school may |
Justify. The Iates of tuition will be four,
i've and six dollars per month, according to
grade.
