In spite of the enormous losaea Mentioned above it i 3 gratifying to report an increase of 40 in the. roll number of the day school, while the evening school has held its own as regard 3 roll numbera. The thanks of the Beard are due to the Education Department for its assistance in blowing several small classes to "carry od" through the year. This, to some extent, alleviated the effect of the dropping of compulsion. The large increase in the number of the day school pupils and the fuller cour.-.tai tiiien made necessary the furnishing of ar. (jctm class room and it is very probable that, in the near future, we shall have to consider the question of additions to the school. In addition to the subjects passed by pupil teachers attending the school, the following results have been obtained:—Two st idents obtained partial "D."' One student obtained Bookkeepers' Diploma. Two students passed the Public Service Entrance Examination. Fifty-six" students obtained Senior Free Places. Nine students obtained extension of Junior Free Places. ■ Regulations thi3 year debarred. any Std. IV puroila from atending the manual training classes held in Technical schools. This resulted in a drop in the mimoers, from 58G to 545, included in which total are 18 High School students. It is pleasing to note that again, this year, absolutely no rules or regulations were necessary for the guidance of the students either in the school or in the playground. An opening lecture on school loyalty, together with the natural pride taken in the school and its surroundings by the students, was sufficient to keep everything in order. A close investigation reveals hardly a mark on any part of the school or grounds. When it is considered that from 250 to 300 pupils pass through the school each day, this must be considered a very creditable record. In sport the school made a very good showing in both basket-ball and football. One pleasing feature in this connexion was the {presentation to the school by the Old Girls' Basket-ball Club of a beautifully mounted silver rose bowl, to be held for one year by the pupil who was considered to be the best "sport" in every sense of the word. The Old Girls are to be heartily congratulated' on their splendid idea. In conclusion I have to thank the chairman and membors of the Board of Managers for their unfailing courtesy, also the members of the staff for their willing and pleasant co-opera-tion throughout another successful year's work.
