THE SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

(TO THE EDITOR OV THE STANDARD.) SiRV — Inspector Bindon no .doubt had )gbod reasons for wishing the names of those 1 passed or failed at the late examinations not to be made public. The School; Committee evidently thought so, for they endorsed, .his, action.; ;; But<l.,see..thnt r -tl)p< Editor' of the Time*, who appears a very self -conceited and indiscreet young man, so jfar as I am, able to judge, asks the, naihea f 6 be forwarded so ; 'that he may ' pnb|lish thoin m defiance of the Inspector and the School 'Committee; ■ This I think is exceedingly improper. But the Editor of the Times cannot do wrong. He; must know: everything, from who set the* Town Hall on tire; ..dow i to who stole, the roosters. I am told that the sathe s conceit made him unpopular -m other places, where , he- -has' been. But it ap^j pears.i he has no sense from lnV experience. He is simply trying ;his best toYset the parents arid School Committee and Inspector at loggerheads, and all because of some silly ideas •of his own, which he ought to have got rid of long )jL%fa HM' liV had /any \y^stlonj.' f I! fear doHceiP is/ his prominem^ bnnipV thoiigh it does not appear to benefit him jnuj;h. I heantfn\a! ! that his action m tjhc matter of the scliool "examination is oeneraFly condemned, Juvthe is a wilful creature, and ,}ivjs^ have Jiis own >vay._, I Riippose' he will get to' the,, end of his tetlier some day, as hik predecessor did, by jways yerv similar.
