Cape- Williamson.-Results of examination in Standards—Presented in Standards, 3,2, and 1,16; passed 16; percentage, 100. General remarks.—-This is a new school, and hed been open only 167 times when I examined it. That the teacher has succeeded in properly classifying his scholars is shown bythe fact that all passed as presented. Tim instruction is regulated with a considerable degree of care and skill, and the order, considering that several of the pupils have never before been at any school, is satisfactory. Singing and drawing are not taught—W. L. Edge, Inspector. 11th Nov.”
