The Principal proceeded The danger from public examinations is when people people come to think the success or not of a school can be medeared by merely counting the agrober of boys who pass theru. An examination can only partial. y test the work of a school. The train. ing of a boy is a threefold task he must be given the opportunity of training his intelligence by hard study, his physical powers by regular exercise and bard play, and above all his character by stilet discipline at home and in school.
The boys have show themselves to be sportsmen and to be a sportsman is a, fine qualification for their future carcers by imparting to them good feeling, endurance and discipline. The Collete had a most successful athletic season.
