One (Mmdoch j McLeod) passed the final examination a year ago and one (Annie Finn) resigned on the 30 h Juno. The number of pupil ranchers examined were thus 32. “ Sixteen candidates, not yet holding appointments, came forward for examination with the pupil teachers. “It will be seen from the tabulated stah-mant of marks obtained by the pupil teachers that 28 of them pa-sod the examination. Alexander Bdl (4th ye r), and Hugh G. Wake (3rd year) highly distinguished themselves; Maud C.rtwright (3rd year), Charles J, Goldstone (3rd year), and Robert Irwin (2nd yea>), deserve great praise for their papers ; and Maggie Gooch (4th year), Lillie Rowley (4 h year), Jessie Byers (4'h yea), and Annie Mcllroy (3rd year) are worthy of special men'ion. Three fourth year pupil teachers and one of the first ye-ir failed.
