InEIeside Academy.

To the Editors Of the Herald and Mail:
There will no doubt be a great deal
said about the different examinations of
the city, which came off last week, and
while this is the case, we deem it no more
than justice to the teachers and pupils
of Ingleside Academy to give them a short
notice through your paper. We have
witnessed many examinations and
thought we had seen classes as thoroughly
prepared as was possible, but after
witnessing the examination OF the pupils
of Ingleside, we have changed our opin-
ion-think we had not seen all that was
to be seen. Such thorough and practi-
cal training in all of the studies. The
young ladies acquitted themselves nObly,
appeared perfectly familiar with all prac-
teal questions of arithmetic, and not con
fined to the examples laid down in the
textbooks. The same way with the
higher branches of mathematics, geogra,
ply, chemistry and all the classes weihad
the pleasure of hearing examined. Such
training reflects much credit upon the
Principal, Mrs S. B. Mack, and places her
among the very best Educators of the
country. L.

These springs are easy of access, a
