"A pretty sight to look at. The entire worl,
of this portion of the school is under tba
immediate supervision of Miss Rhodes who
does all the work herself without anv
assistance, and the results show that she
merits unqualified praise. Application has
recently been made for an assistant teacher
and it is to be hoped hat it will be granted
as the number of scholars is rather too
large for one person 10 taxi charge Of
without a serious tax upon mental energy
especially as the pupils have to be clasSed
in six divisions.
BY this time a ve;y large number Of visitor,

From II comparison of the Rotations Mt all
the foreign schools those which deserve the
greatest kudOs were performed Mt the Royal
School. The same may be said of the literary
exercises generally. and to the Rev. A. Mack
intosh is due a far share of praise for the sue
