EXAMINATION. -One of the most success- ful examinations ever held in Tuchersmith, was that of School Section No. 10, held on Friday, 15th inst. The examination began about half past ten o'clock. The attend- ance of visitors in the forenoon was not large, but in the afternoon they were so nutherous as scarcely to admit of standing room' . The pupils were examined in the various branches of school work, by their teacher, Mr. Horton, assisted by Messrs. Baker, Ingram, Wood, Shillinglaw, Scott, Hoggarth and Forsythe, and it is ,scarcely necessery to say that readiness and thor- oughness characterized the work of all the classes. At the close of the examination, Mr: Shepherd, Reeve of Tuckersmith, was called to the chair, and ably conducted the rendering of a lengthy and inteinsting pro- gramme, consisting of mueic, both vocal and instrumental ; choruses and recitations by the pupils, and speeches by the teachers and parents. A marked feature of the ex - =illation was the excellent order observed. I Mr. Horton's school resembles a well trained family rather than the ordinary school. While all who took part in the programme are to be complimented upon the manner in which they acquitted themselves, we can- not hut especially cotnpliment the children, who gave the various musical selections a-nd recitations, as these were far in advance of those usually rendered by children. Mr. Horton has taught in Tuckersmith almost continuously since 1882, and has always had the respect and esteem of his pupils, and the hearty co-operation of the rate- payers. • Stanley.
