the coming week, 1t being nme Tor the reg
ular spring vacation. The week Just pas
has been hard one, examinations beinl
in progress oil the time, but the scholar
did splendidly, their examinations beinl
exceptionally good, and, tho examinations
being out ofthe way, entertainments, mostly
OF literary nature, took up yesterdays
time. In the Third, Fourth and Fifth
wards, there was no special programme
each room having its recitations and songs
which were pretty and instructive, and
pleased both the scholars and their parents
who turned out largely considering the
weather. In several OF the rooms the
performances were extraordinarily good
especially 80 when II is considered that nc
extra effort had been put forth. The
teachers in all the rooms have reason to
feel proud OF their pupils and should be
encouraged In the good work they are
doing, by the parents taking more Of an
interest than they do.
