Sr. Perrer’e schools are attended by pupils whose parents are, for ang cause, diseatisfied with the public schools aud can afford to pay the fee, in addition to | some of those whose parente deem the purtore and traiming of the spiritual—the higher and noble—part of their children’s nature to be of the greatest importance. The distinetive doctrines of our various denominations are not touched upon. lo point of fact the religious teaching is, we are informed, confined solely to the reading and study of the Holy Scrigtures. But it is needless to say, that with the Rev. James Simpson as teacher of the advanced classes in the Girls Sehool and the Rev. TT’. H. Hunt as the head master of Boys School, St. Peters Sehoels are pervaded ‘by a religious tone which makes for the upbuilding of spiritual and mora! character. At the eame time they afford instruction in the ordinary branches of a secular education and enjoy the advantage of Br. Hodgeon’s personal, sedalous, daily attention to the classes in Englieo and Canadian history. That the appreciation of the public for them is growing, year by year, ia shown by the larger attendance of both boye and girls. The closing exercises, on ladies and gentlemen of all classes and Opinions, inzluding His Honor Lieutenant Governor Howlan (who presided) end Mrs Howlan, Sir Louis Davies and Lady Davies, the Rev. T.

A building or euite of roome conveniently situated in the middle of the town could easily be secured for this per- pose; and Prince Street School, now ower crowded, would thue:be relieved, and the necessity of constructing a costly addi- tion to the building he avoided. The change «vould necessitate a | readiastment of the teaching stat¥,and this might be done ion such a way, as wilhout injustice or barshnese to any of the older teachers who have faithfully served the eity, to remove the diseatisfaction which now wofortunately exists in respect to ecme of the echools. Besidee all this, the main point of relieving the unduly high pressure unnecessarily put upon a major- ity of the papils, would te gsined. We make this suggestion because we deeire not to bemerely critical. But itis for Board of Schee!

The duty is theirs, avd to them will belang would our the credit if they iazprove adifflcult situa - tion.

A thunder storm in the morning, the forerunner of the wvremurkable electric storm of the evening, probably detained many persons from coming to the grand geremony; but it is estimated (bat at least two thousand persons, of all classes aud denominations, were present.

For this purpose, a number of abstruse sub jects are taught in the higher grades; and for these comparatively few pupils have any liking or necessity. The curriculum of | our common schools ought to be simplifi- ed. The whole body of our pupils ought not to be metaphorically whipped and epurred in order that atew of the more taleoted and more wealthy may pass into Prince of Wales College, The effect of this effort is, as we now s<e, indifference or au increasing dislike of studies and teach- Let the whole body’ of children be thoroughly instruc ted in the simple and necessary elements | | | ere. our of education. Thoroughuess ina few sub- jects is of much more value than a smatter- ipg in many. striction of the course of study in the com~ mon schools to those comparatively few aubjects which are of common utility ; and let these be thoroughly taught. It infinitely better to have good readers, good epellers, good grammarians, good writers, good arithmeticians,come from our schools, than afew scholars qualified to enter upon the study of the professions and the great majority possessed only of that smattering of learning which is a dangerous thing. After all, our schools are but means of Jearning how to learn. To this end a solid foundation upon the three Rs’ is of the first importance.
