TuE PRINCIPALS F1EI'ORT. Mnr.i. M. Fenwick, B.

There la a highar and nobler work for everi? scool than iýhe more preparing students to pass4 succeaful examinations, that is the davelopment of theý whale man, phycically and xnrally as weull as intel- lectually, to the pupils cooing undar our care to be more useful citizens, better mien and women than they otherwiaa woulid ha. The number of pupils attending this achool is 125 ; sonietimes during the win- Der menthe it reaphesj 150. About 40 par cent. of thisnumbercoma from outaide this municipality. Thus showing an increase Of 50 per cent. Last year the board felt compelled to reduca ta taaching staff, owing to the de- prassed ptate of business in the town, but they have found that ta 'maintain the presant tate of efficiency in the achool an additiorial teacher waa absolutely ne- casaary. This addition ta aur staff bas been recently made in the person of Mr. F, Rogers, B.A., who às a distinguished graduate of Victoria Iiniversity. This oompletes a staff of assstants-all of whamn are specialists in their 'respective depart- ment% and each of whom is sa capable that 1L cannot wish tor botter. The printed lista in your hand will show that the number of certificates abtainad this year as waII as the num ber of matric- alated tudents is about the same as last year. To those candidates for certiticates ~who woe unsuccessful, 1 should lika ta ~say an encouraging word.

They might not have gaiued cartificates, ha tald them, but thay hsd gained something , they coula neyer losa, and that was a training and education which though they navet obtained a certi- ficate, would go with themn all through their lives. In raply tu the idea that there fa toa much educatian nowadas, ha aaid it was true there was tao great a tendency amang people ta dilike work and ta go into the callings where they expected ta escape It. But it was nat intellactusl training that caused people ta disike wark. t was the wrong sentiment that the professions offered the oniy honorable employment. 11Now, 1 amn a farmar, " Mir.
