lngtOn-close for the summer vacation.
, The regular public examinations here
tofoTe held at the close of the term are
abolished; also. what may be termed the
medal system, or the giving. by order OF the
Board of Trustees, a first honor represented
in each school by gold or iver medal. No
mode of distinguishing n sritOrious pupils
- allowed ON the official rel orts of the teach
| eTs, except what has been heretofore known
as diplomas, but now denOminated (under
the head of regular prizes as certificates,
which are awarded for attendance, depOrt-
ment, scholarship drawing, penmanship and
penmanship and vocal music are given fOf
The greatest Improvement during the year,
while those for grammar, arithmetic,
geography. history, natural philosophy
and algebra are awarded upon the
standing of the pupil on the school record
as evidenced by the result of a written ex-
I animation, held this month. Although the
existing school regulations and the last
official bulletin of the trustees do rot TecOg-
nize the first honor medal, the board last
month passed resolution that rule No. 81
shall not he so construed as 20 prevent the
award OF first honor medals, but that the cost
shall not he charge against the school fund.
Under this permission a large number of
first honor medals will be given Ia pupils a.
various times and places, but the certificates
Will be given during the closing hour of eacI
school. This explains why il is that our
accurate and complete lists of nneri toriOus
/ pupils will show that in some schools no
/ prize other than the certificates are awarded.
/ and that in other schools of the same rank
/ the first honor medal has been, or will be,
presented.
