' | - Srr,—I had the pleasure of being pre- 'sent at the midsummer examination of the ' Upper Prince Street School, at the close of 'which addresses were made to the children | by the Lieutenant-Governor, the Mayor, Rey. Mr. Lloyd, Dr. McLeod and the Chair- |}man of the School Board, all speaking in jcomplimentary terms of both teachers and children; and well dol remember this last | named gentleman, in a short, happy speech, telling the children that he had something tu say to them which he was sure they ‘would be delighted to hear, namely, that ‘they would have a week's extra holidays, and the schow] would not open until Mon- day, the 3rd of September. This announcement from the Chairman of the Schou! Board was responded to by a loud clapping of hands from the children, and smiles of juy from both teachers and children. In consequence of the announcement, sme of the teachers and mauy of the chiidren had mate arrangements to spend the latter part of their vacation off the Island, or away from home, therefore im- agine their disappointment to find a notice in the papers signed by the Secretary of the School Board notifying them that the schools would re-open the 27th day of August, just one week earlier than the time »romised. I do not, sir, object to the holidays being eight weeks «only instead of nine, as the former time is quite long enough for vaca- tions, hut I do objeet to dis ippointing teachers and children at so late a date after lall their arrangements had been made.
