After the examination was over Mr.R.B.McLean was called to the chair,and -after a very apprepriate address, began to -vary the proceedings with a lengthy and interesting programme, consisting of dia- logues and recitations by the pupils, music ha, the ladies and gentlemen of the aection, and speeches by the visitors. Everyone present seemed to take a lively interest and -enjoy the proceedings, and to be highly sat- isfied -with Mr. Forsythe as a teacher, and with the progress that the school was mak- ing. Indeed, the Trustees of the section have shown their appreciation of the ser- vices of Mr. Forsythe by giving him a hand- some increase, of salary, his salary for 1895 being $500.
