In awarding the premiums the com
mittec had some difficulty in deciding be
tween the merits of the work of the res
pcctive competitors, as the competition
was often between primary and advanced
grades. ~.
The committee would suggest that il
the future the educational exhibit be no
SO general, but confined more to special
ties as it would be easier to judge of tn,
merits of such work and give more gen
eral satisfaction TO those competing.
The committee after carefully examin
ing the work, came to the conclusion
that spelling and penmanshIp are tw'
things that are greatly neglected in al
our school. Teachers must think abou
this, and try and devise some means b
which some improvement can be mad
in these two very important branches
More time Should be devoted to tn
study of these branches if necessary, un
til they are brought up to the standar'
of the others.
The exhibit ill many respects, is
great improvement over last year, and
is hoped that all will strive TO do bette
and more thorough work the coming
year. w f. MCMAHON,
