The disadvantages named, however, will entirely oo to orist when we are able to come into possession of the new normal room now on, the point of completion. As to the thoroughly sound work done by the Papil Teashors, I can odd my own testimony, based on close daily observation throughout the School year, and on the Annual Examination to which they are submitted by me, to that given by the Normal Master, During the year ander review, 113 boys are recorded as having got situations immediately on leaving school: 31 obtained appointments, chiefly clerical, in dif-
health point of view, the school had very satisfactory year, and with regard to trachoms, out of 118 ones only two ware virulent. The limitation of classes enables the munters to devote more time to the individust pupils, therefore it will produce bettor educational remita. In order to accommodate the pupils who have thus boon displaced, we have during the past year added to the College, two class rooms which sosom modate in all about 80 boys. Also there has been added a normal room for the instruction of pupil teachers, and in all there is seating accommodation for 996 boys. The average at tendance, as we have heard, during the past year was only 805, so wears now well in advance of requirements in this matter. In 1903 the average attendance was 911, and the year before that it was 991, This decrense is attributed by the Hand Master mainly to two onuses.
