Rev. Mr.. Macintosh, assisted by Mrs. Kinney, Miss
Brickwood, Miss Fernandez and Miss Davis, has 40
pupils, 80 of which are in the primary departments.
Majesty the King and several of the members of
the Board of Education were present among the
visitors at the examination, and all expressed much
pleasure Mt the remarkable proficiency displayed,
evidence as it did of system, order and careful
labor on the part of the teachers. The reading was
particularly good, and some Of the little compositions
were well delivered and elected applause, especially
that by the smallest hoy in the school, a tiny little
fellow, a pupil of Miss Fernandez, who spoke his
piece with an Gpfomb and empreSsement that suggested

At the examination on Thursday, among
the visiters we noticed the members and officers of
the Board of Education. The exercises, Gas they al
ways are at this school) were very satisfactory, par
ticular attention however being directed to those in
grammar. In this branch of study, Mr.. Beckwith's
system of tuition appears to be very successful, some
of the boys showing remarkable proficiency. .-.. At
the Militant Girls School, on King Street yesterday,
there was a large collection of parents and friends of
the pupils, who were evidently much gratifed with
the very creditable examination and the exercises
with which it was varied. This school contains
about sixty pupils, and is under the charge of Miss
Coney, assisted by Miss Dudoit. The children were
thoroughly examined in the various studies, and
gave evidence of careful training by the teachers.
We look upon this school as one of the most important
in the district, and are gratifed to observe that it is
prospecting, and increasing in numbers.
