1t was a real surprise to all
present, to see with what prompt
ness aud efficiency the longest reci-
tations were delivered. / was
under the impression that the school
had been drilled at times during the |
entire winter for this programme,
but was told by DIR. Hall that they |
had only week to prepare the pro-
gramme and TO perfect themselves in
the same, and when ! say that they /
did remarkably well, even if my
suggestions had been the truth,
you can imagine the ability and the /
retention of memory displayed from
the eldest scholar to the youngest.
