The number of marks gained is scarcely thirty per cent of what should have been gained. Very few of the pupils seemed to take sufficient interest in their work, and even what work was done was very indifferently executed. With a few exceptions the papers returned were sloy- enly, the neatest being those of C. Schurs man, J.J. Wickham, C. McLennan, and Ida Schurman. Of the sums attempted, more than fifty per cent were wrong, and scarce-~ ly one worked on the right principles. best papers were those on English Gram, three exceptions. was almost a failure One boy, J.
