• From the foregoing we learn that our

in our favor 4f per cent.

for 1885 is 8959 .between 5 and 21. • The
number entered on roll 7299 . or 1389 less
'than in 1871, or 2881 less than in 1877,

1, The question of decidingthe lieltiee of
Readers to be used in our school' is hap-
pily at last settled. One class especially
suffered considerably from the variety in
we. I advised teachers to make necessary
changes fis pupils were promoted from one
class to another, thus reducing expenee to
parents to a minimum, This plan Waif For nearly 30 Teem I ilftv,e endeavored
as a whele are a decided imprevement on
those in use since 1.868, when the last
change Was elude, and are eery popular
•with the children.. Through our tewhere
association we have endeavored to secure
uniformity in all text books, so that when
pupils change. 4m.o ne section to another,
no additional expense need be incurred by
parents.

school is between 9 and 10. Many of
these are old and should be replaced by
those on which is to be found the results

1.. During 1885 I was able to visit each'
wheel twice. Iu 1876 ley the kind per-
miesion, of the county council; I was al-
lowed a holiday to recruit my health in
Britain,• visited each • school •only
once during that year. In 1884, sickness
from scarlet fever during 11 Weeks in my
family. prevented me, on account of conta-
gion, from visiting all sohoole during. first
lialf of 'year. With therie limeptionii
have visited each section twice during
each year since July, 1871, in other words
I have. visited: and examined, eabh-seboal

orioue, and took a long time, and such

governing our public school system has
been consolidated, and the regulations
under previous acts revised. This is cer-
tainly a great boon to trustees and all.of.
fickle. A. new system of registers has been
adopted, which much simplifies the work
of reporting to Inspector. Scripture
•selections have been preperede and with
copies of School Act have been gratu

come over the scene, and constant; im-

Towhees' Institute. for "the district and

and these too have done's noble work in
