Although for some true before her death Sister Doring, through ill health, had not taken. an active part in the teaching of the School, her linguistic attainment, long ex perience and intimate knowledge of its needs were invaluable in the counsels that deliberated for it betterment. Her less is irreparable.

The

At the present time the staff consists of fourteen teachers, who are efficiently as sisted by pupil teachers. In order to com- ply with the requirements of the Education Department the latter have been attending the Teachers' Class of the Technical Insti- tute.

"I also inspected the dormitories and "recreation rooms, schoolrooms, lavatories and bath rooms, and found all well kept, well ventilated, perfectly clean and sani- tary and in every way satisfactory,"

While on the subject of health and sani tation, I may be permitted to state that Dr. V. M. Koch, of the Government Civil Hospital, has very kindly consented to give at the Convent a course of lectures on First Aid to the Senior girls and a few of the teachers who can be spared to attend them. Arrangement will be made that the lectures be held under the auspices of the St. John's Ambulance Association, and that the usual examination be held at the end of the course, for the Certificate. At the suggestion of the Hon. Lecturer there will be two classes: girls over six teon will attend one class, and there will, be another course for those under 16, which course has to be rather more clement ary. It is proposed that the lectures will commence after the Christmas vacation. The value and utility of " First Aid " have been so amply demonstrated that it is hoped many scholars will avail them selves of the kindness of Dr. Koch and attend the lectures in large number.

In addition to the subjects prescribed by the syllabus private lessons are given in Portuguese, Italian and French, Type writing and Shorthand, as well as Paint ing and Drawing Many pupils attend these private classes, and there is evidence that typewriting and stenography are becoming increasingly popular, *****

Ton scholars presented themselves for theory and speed examinations held by Pitman's Committee in June, October and November, respectively. The result of the earliest examination has already been received, two Theory Certinentes having bear granted to Miss Dorothie Ruzavet und Miss Frances Bayor, The certificates will be presented this after noon. The result of the examinations held in October and November is not yet to hand. The papers have been forwarded to Bath for correction

At the case little Miss J. HARRIS-WALKER said:"My school friends have tried to entertain you with music and recitation this afternoon. It is now my turn to do my part. It is very small one indeed it is to do the bidding of the Mother Superior and teachers. They have told me to thank you one and all very much indeed for being so kind as to come here to-day and attend our prize-giving. We children have been looking forward to this day for quite a long time sad we aro glad and thankful that so many friends of the school have come to rejoice with us today."
