The Port Deposit Public School.

! MIR EDIroR:-On account of the t;tct that
/ the schools of the county We're kept open but
/ half term at the close OF last year our final
! examinations Were not rs com letc as usual,
aud hence we made no public statement of
/ their result. We have just closed oar inter
mediate examinations for this sclinal year.
ana rs nearly all persons iii the town are
more or less interested i'll the school, We de-
sire to make statement IF the hall-vcar> ;,
I work.
Judging hv the continued increase in at
tendancr, the school is growing in favor with
the puhlc. W hen the present school build
ing was completed four year ago, people
We're surprised that the board should pro
vide SO large Il building with any hope of
hlilng 1t, ana now the question aS to whcr"
We shall put the scholars is becoming 4 very
perplexing one. Four years ago the school
! numbered not near POO scholars, the next
year there were in the largest quarter %;
III the third year 2l2, and how, in the second
week of the new term, We have 2Il scholars,
with prospect of 299 or 800. 1t is. with
what we judge 10 be coninnendab!e pride,
that we make this statement to the patrons
of the school.
