The « losing meeting of the American Inetitute of Instraction was held ino Orpheus Hall Halitax, on!Wednesday 11ti | inet. Devotional exercises were conduci~

ed by Rev. Mr. Dobson. | The first speaker was I. Z. Brandford, | (colored,) headjmaster of Litchfield schooler, Jamaica, His subj-ct was Life in Jamaica. He expressed his appreciation of the honor aud,the pleasure o/ addressing |

|

the audience, and also the responsibility speaking faithfully of his onntry, quoting those well-known words f Eng) hero—“Kagland expects every man to dohisduty.” After a most grapbic description of the character of the island, its beautiful climate, its healing epringe,the wonderful tropical scenery tat abounds on every band, and the natural producte that are exported, he gave a brief eketch of the early history of the olony, from its discovery by Columbus io the present time.

He characterized the inhabitants es nieosely loyal and devoted to their Queen, | boepiteble to strangers, and industrious, with perhaps, @ want of alittle more of American “ push” and energy in busi- 22 | ness matters. He compared the educa-

tional attainments of thed amaica boys with = pis those of Canada and the United States, p | and considered them nearly equal. He goANSHeUSOUEOUDEOEAEUEEL ON eonwennll COUERY.S traced the growth and audeni develop ment of elementary education prior to the emancipation of the slaves up to the present time— the success of which is due to the solid foundation that was laid by the faithful missionaries who have loug entered into rest. After explaining the | syetem of “ Payment by Results,” he gave netances of the various education com- missions ihat had been appcinted by the goveroment, their recommendations, and as aresult the amendments in the edaca- tion jaws of the colony, the present code of regulations being the outcome of the efforts of the commiesion of 1897. He sated that it was found neceseary toclo-e and amalgamate several schools, thus re- ducing their number frem €93 to 757, but t was thougbt that this would noi affect tbe aitendance of the pupils.

He then gave the course of iessons and marke attached that had to be observed 10 al) the elementary tchoole. He defined the three classes of elejuentary schools according to their qualfications. He ; Stated that the prospects of higher educa- 100 in the colony were exceedingly bright

. eouraging. The echools can fairly uch a high test as the Cambridge _geand)«xamivation, which speaks vol- we for Jawsica,and the way seems wide and free for greater achievements of the sons of Jamaica. The valuable schol. arehips offered by the government are great inducements, and many boys have
