having obtained the highest marks in their respective classes. In the Spring of the year there were in Queen's College over 700 boys receiving instruction on Hygiene, but this number dwindled through boys leaving school, until there re- mained for the Annual Examination 606, of whom 336 or 64 per cent. passed. The result is better exhibited in tabular form :---

It is thus evident that all the English Masters, who alone teach this subject, have entered with spirit into the teaching of Hygiene, and I may add that in the College examination the boys themselves exhibited in their answers an amount of interest that quite surprised me. Since a first year's work can produce such satisfactory results, we are justified in supposing that in another three years after a progressive course of education in this subject in the Third and Second Classes, the boys in the First Class may really acquire Advanced knowledge in Hygiene.
