Arithmetic and writing of the boys good. Master appears to be well acquainted with the Scriptures, and to have his heart in his work. He should distribute his questions more to his less advanced boys; and some improvement should be made in getting on the little ones in reading. £12 Rewards. The first class of boys compose well; have a good knowledge of the Scriptures; writing. arithmetic, and spelling well taught; the lowest class ought to be in an infant-school. Some of the girls have learned a good deal of Scripture, and write fairly on their slates. The upper boys have learned the first three sections of the "Faith and Duty," and have begun Nicholls' Sunday Exercises; but there is room for considerable improvement in the instruction and discipline of both schools. The district from which the children are gathered is a wild one. Boys compose well, write well, do arithmetic well, are well advanced in reading. Receive gifts for coming to school, yet do not attend regularly. The girls also are taught with great pains, intelligence, and success. A large fund accumulated as an endowment for the school. 21 girls had learned the gospel for the previous Sunday: of these 13 had learned the epistle as well. |
