Yesterday afternoon the closing
exercises of the st. Andrews Priory
school for girls-one of the best in
situations Of its kind in the country
we're held in the large school
room. The interior of the building
was deliberately decorated with
flags, greenery and flowers, and
presented gala appearance. At
one end a platform had been erect
ed which gave everyone present an
opportunity to see what was going
on. There was a crowded gathering
of the parents and friends Of the
pupils and those interested in the
school Not only was the school
room packed, but also the wide
verandas, and then a good many
people were only able to get a
| glimpse Of the building.
The work at this school, under
the direction of Sisters Beatrice
and Albertina, is vely thorough,
and they have able assistants in
the Misses Armstrong and Danford.

been going on the last three or
four weeks, show very proficient
work on the part Of the pupils.

through the papers, speaks very
highly of the work be examined.

school fully maintains its high
standard, and furthermore its &C
commodation has been taxed to
the utmost during the past school

in the school, has rendered valua-
BILE assistance in the preparation of

given away. In the evening the

themselves.
