Queen Square School. At the for- mer school solile 205 boys are re- ceiving instruction under Mr. Le- Baron E. Tait while at". Queen Square School over 250 boys arc re- ceiving tlie same careful instruction from Mr. Percy Barlow. The Man- ual Training class rooms now are very well equipped and we believe tilat Manual Training is a. class of iaistructlon which will be long ap- preciated by the boys and the bet- ter flt them for life.

Early last year the Board antici- pated that it would be necessary to outlay a. considerable amount of money for the equipment of a Do- mestic Sclence kitchen. However it was again found pos lble to use for the girls of Prince Street and West Kent Schools the kitchen in Prince of Wales College, This therefore made is‘ unnecessary to equip a kitchen and accounts for the most part in the Board requiring a smal- ler sum from the city than was blidgetted for at the first of the year. During April and May 99 girls from Grade: seven, eight and mile of Prince Street School received instruction under the capable guid- ance of Miss Muriel Weeks of the staff ol that school while during the same time 7'7 girls from Grades seven and eight of West Kent School received similar instruction

During Ap‘.'ll and May some 77 girls from Grades seven and eight at Rockford square School were also instructed ln Do- mestic Science by one of the teach- ers, ln the small and suitable room in the school which was fitted up without expense to the Board, and
