Back To School,
The most strenuous school-term of the year has begun and in the schools and colleges of the Colony. teachers and senior scholars alike are hard at it in preparation for the main examinations at the end of the term.. Few, who pass the school entrances a few minutes before School, can fail to notice the bronzed complexions and general air of alertness of those who enter. Such observations would lead the average man to consider how desirable it is that the long vacation should precede this trying term and thus enable all to prepare for the strain. Most of the teaching fraternity, how ever, would rather that the long holiday came after the main examination. One often hears them remark that the thought of
