Inglewood

The convent school (says the Inglewood Record of November 6) was examined on October 26, when a most satisfactory result was shown, and the inspector's remarks thereon were distinctly complimentary, and cannot be other than highly satisfactory to the Sisters in charge, whose good methods of careful traini-.ig and efficiency of organisation receive very satisfactory reference in the report. Of the compulsory subjects, the inspector says : ' Reading, very satisfactory; composition, essay good, formal composition fair ; writing, carefully taught ; spelling, good ; recitation , very satisfactory ; arithmetic, good ; drawing, good ; physical instruction, very satisfactory; geography, good in Standard VI., fair in other Standards; history, weak.' The 'additional' subjects are: 'Satisfactory,' 'fair,' and 'good'; and of the 'P' classes, which are under the charge of Sister M. St. Mildred, the inspector says : ' These classes passed a very satisfactory examination ; the order and discipline of the school is very good ; efficiency of the school very satisfactory.' The details are: Pi, 11 boys and 2 girls; P2, 7 boys and 11 girls; P3, 11 boys and 11 girls. In Standard VI. (writes a correspondent) out of eight pupils six gained certificates of proficiency and two obtained competency certificates. In referring to the work in the different Standards the inspector says : ' The work in these classes has been treated in a careful and intelligent manner. Standards I. to HI. — The results of the examination in these classes show that the teacher has been painstaking and thorough in her work. P Classes — Very satisfactory work has been done in these classes The teacher has evidently used good methods in the treatment of the subjects taught.' Such commendation must be gratifying alike to the Sisters and parents whose children are privileged ta attend a school where great care and good organisation result in such successes. •
