The withdrawal are thus explainedOne of the boys was appointed assistant tëscher, two have gour into business in Hongkorg, and four left for England. The attempt to introdes Calmere has been used. onsd partly because of the impossibility of finding a good teacher of the language who is at this same time aquainted with English or it able to manage English boys, and partly because the time given to it inter farad with mora important losses. The slase fall off too much to make it worth whi e to contine is after the summer term.
The usual examination was hold at the end of the your, and the papers wero ozamined by Mr. Jenringe and Dr. Eitel.
Mr. Jennings thus reported on the paper

The Orst awan in the copies of dog's iend was a very aroditable production indeed, no were siss the frat and second, awards in the freehand dmwinge of omament. The flower subject did not produce equals good results, but this was probably cwing to the poverty of the example, which was one that could not possibly create any extranim for
the subject placed befor the scholars to copy.
"In looking over the drawings made by some of the bags out of school I found sketches by two of them af manual morit, and I lanru with pleasure that an extra prize will be adjudged for them.
