     inconvenience. The classification is systematic. 
     
     Alter the primary, I examined boys studying the 
     
     rudiments of Latin, with whom I was well pleased. 
     
     In such a mixed School, the Teacher deserves en- 
     
     couragement for his attention to Algebra, Latin 
     
     and Eng‘ish Con'iposition. Examined, 30. 
     
    

    
     93—5, This school resembles the Brooklyn, in the

     children are neither regular nor punctual in the 
     
     school, I often see some going thither so late that 
     
     I accused them of truancy and reproved them.

     His unremitting exertions to discharge his ardous
