Here it was evident by several signs that
| teachers and pupils had prepared for the
day, as the rooms were beautifully deco
rated with flowers, eyergreens and appro-
| pirate notices. The children were neatly
| attired, all in excellent taste. There are
| 357 names on the roll, and the attendance
| is quite punctual. 1t is evident that there
exists an ambition to excel, vouched for by
| the tact that uncommon progress has been
| made in every room. The teachers have
| caught the spirit, never hating in their
| labors, until today few schools can surpass
| this one. Many parents visit the building.
| The furniture is new and of the accepted

When the ordinary exercises were closed

dience which filled the rooms so full that
the teachers could scarcely move. Leuten-

The pupils in this school should forever
feel grateful for the advantages they are
now possessing. A good building, fine fur
niture, competent teachers and abundance
OF books should be inducements to make
the 3l4 boys study steadily every hour that
can possibly be secured. The lads are quite
forward in their books, are ambitious, and
are bound to prosper. Mr.. Williams, the
principal, is one of the most finished teach
ers in the department and all his assistants
are not in the least behind him. The pupils
are under perfect control, discipline being
one of the smarked features. Under the
present auspices this school stands me-
mento for the Board of School Directors.
Among the smartest lads are Frank Keel
ing, David Williams, Isaac Brown, Albert
Stewart, Richard Carter. Anthony Moore,
Isaac Brown, Richard johnson and Moses

A song, ''Piccadilly,' by Isaac Brown,
was so well sung that if theatrical man

Metafrie Ridge-Bays and Girls.
This is new school, inaugurated last DC.
tober, near the Ridge cemeteries to accom-
nodate nearly 100 children. Miss A. Finch
has charge, and. under the circumstances
is dong well. Many of the little ones can
not speak English, read or write while but
few have advanced far in their books.
There are only two benches, which consti-
uute the furniture. Some of the children |
have carried boxes to the rooms to sit on
and strips OF narrow boards answer for
seats. Perhaps time will remedy the omis-
'lon. These children deserve something
better. as they appear inclined 10 apply
themselves.
