Examiners working on the matricu- lation examination papers in the On- tario education department had about nished their labors on Monday of this eek. It will be a matter of nearly two weeks, however, before results are nnouneed, as a great amount of work lies before the clerks of the department, totalling and arranging marks. This means that the results will be announced bout the 8th or 10th of August. The results of the normal school examins dons recently announced, show that hese seven training schools produced 225 teachers this year, as compared with 1020 last year. In` addition to hese there are the graduates of the acuities of education of Quebec and oronto. The two universities produced 29 teachers, either with first-class certificates, qualifying the holders to each in the public schools, or high 6001 assistants. The supply of new teachers, therefore, from the faculties and normal schools for the coming year is 1553.
