The Headmaster (Mr. G. Piercy) hav ing read his annual report,
The Bisor OF VICTORIA asked His Excelleney to kindly address the students and to give away the prizes.
H.E. THE GOVERNOR said-All those who are interested in this School must have listened with a great deal of satisfaction to the report which the Headingster has just read and to the references be made of the excellent report made by the acting- Director of Education upon this School in June last. The record is one of which the School, especially those who are in charge of the teaching therein, must feel justly proud. It is a very satisfactory report also from my point of view as I stand here, because it is so good that it leaves me very little comment to make, and, as you know, there is nothing I hate more than public speaking. (Laughter.) There is only one little bit of advice that I may perhaps tender, and it is that in the success you have wou you have bad a certain advantage over other Schools in the Colony in that you possess a larger These proportion of European boys.

It occurs to me that in a School like this, which no doubt claims to be a Secondary School-although we have 'no such class of School really defined in the Colony-there should be demanded at least she deal language and one modern living language. I understand that some Latin is taught here; but that no modern. language is taken. It is a question whether in Schools of this class nore Lalin, and, at any rate, une modern Inngange, should not be demanded.

The fact is commented upon as a new kind of suffragist argument that Dr. Jor dan devotes his attention to Isabella her- self in defining her as the ideal ancestress from the eugenics point of view, and gives scant details of her husband.
