Instruction of Standard 7 and P. —Good work has been done by the Standard 7 pupil and those in the prepatory classes.

ease of the more regular attendee. Ruth Colebrook is a strong pupil and all her work is done in good style. She gained full murks in arithmetic. Writing, drawing, and reading are ihe strongest of the pass subjects. Standard IV. has several weak pupils, but much of the work is good and shows careful trainiug and supervision. The work was somewhat hindered by the building operations and taking this into account the progress is satisfactory. Standards 111. and 11. have made good progress. The weakest subject in the former standard is arithmetic, but throughout, the style of the work is good, and there is a nice bone about the class which shows that the children delight in doing their work well. Standard 11. is a well prepared class. The copy books and exercise books are very good. In Standard I. all the pupils have passed the requirements with great credit, and the results are very commendable, In style and progress the class shows careful training. Altogether the school haa done well, and everything continues to prosper under Mr McClure'a careful management. Registration is very satisfactory.
