The examinations in Prof. Lawlor's
Institute We're concluded yesterday,
and the scholars dismissed for vaca-
ton. Glasses were examined in phys
ical geography, English grammar,
physiology, bookkeeping, Latin and
algebra. The examinations were well
sustained throughout, and especially
so in mathematics, in which study the
scholars evinced very remarkable
proficiency. Rapdity of work was II
| special feature. Examples with six
numbers or more given to find their
least common multiple, were done in n
| quarter of minute by some of the
pupils. The same examples, as usually
worked, would require at least fifteen
minutes a like rapidity of calcula-
| ton, with universal correctness, was
shown in various other forms of COM
putting numbers. The class in book
keeping gave very creditable show
ing of their work during the term, by
proving good elementary knowledge
of double entry book keeping and
much improvement in penmanship.
The study is pursued by girls and boys
alike with practical benefit to both.
The classes in algebra and Latin also
did finely. Professor Lawlor is thor
ough, careful teacher, as the work of
his scholars yesterday abundantly
| demonstrated.
