ST 1• AT THE TIIR • Soloor, Ex„t3iii.trioy.—The quarterly exarnination of the pupils of school sec- tion; No. 9, East Wawa,nosh, took place on Friday, the 28th nit. 1 The examina- tion was conducted. by Mr. H. H. Bur- gess and. G. E. Ring, teaehers, the for- mer being the one in charge. The pu- pils acquittedbthemselves in •a manner worthy of the highest commendation. The school at present is principally made up of pupils of the lower forms. The manner in which those sinall pu- pils answered the several questions de- mendedwas certainly worthy of notice, and shoWs that their knclwledge is not mere book work, but isaneducation which evidently must have been im- • parted in a clear and energetic man- ner. One particular feature of their • knowledge was the Manner in which they a,c uitted. themselves in their reading classes, the answering some very difficult queri s deduced: from their reading iessoiis. The greater number of the pupil of the fifth forni passed. last summer' exanainatiOn, and, consequently, are a4ltiveiy engaged in the important duties of their profes- sion. The above mentioned facts speak highly of Mr. Burgess' abilities as. an educator of the young. 1Mr. Burgess has taught in No. 9 for t'w'o years and a half. His departure is deeply regretted. by the ratepayers of the section, they having appreciated his services very • highly since he became their teacher, and express their best •-wishes for his success, as he intends furthering his education at the Collegiate Institrite, St. Catharines. There was a f,air mina- ber of visitors present, considering tke .busy season of the -year. • VISITOR.
