DEVONPORT DISTRICT SCHOOL, 'NORTH SHORE.

It having been determined by the Devonport District School Committee that prizes should be civdn to the most proficient pupils at the midwinter vacation, the examination for the same took place on Wednesday and Thursday last On the'former day the senior scholars were required', to work on paper a series of arithmetical questions selected from Barnard Smith's arithmetic, comprising examples in the- simple and compound rules, reduction; simple and compound propor tion, and vulgar and decimal fractions. About twenty of the young folks very fairly distinguished themselves in this exercise particularly C. Burgess, H. M. Jems, and A Bargess. Many of the visitors to the Bchool on Thursday remarked on the.neat ness which several of the papers exhibited. The examination on Thursday was mainly vivavoae, and was conducted by the teachers, a^-ted by the Rev. J; Bates, Mr H. M. Zd-fo and several ladies. Questions were Ken in history, geography, mental arith- Setic, and grammar, and were answered * orally with promptitude and correctness. *v. Jervis expressed himself most highly gaiisfied with the display of geographical knowledge, and confessed that he had failed to puzzlt them. The answers in.mental ar.thmetic were noted the rapidity with wlich tt/ey were given while the parsing (extract from " Taming the Shrew ) shewed tint the pupils; were as well grounded in Erglish grammar as in other subjects. Tht examination concluded with some recita- Viomf poetry, and it is somewhat a matter otreg-et that no prize was awarded tor tnis subfccx Had there been a prize it would have uLn to W. Kinsey, who gave Macau ley's " Htle of the League" in a very cor rect and a^ ite( j ma nner. The general results of the nat i oa left upon the minds ot those presen\I he impression that the work of the HchooT- s faithfully and thoroughly carried out, \n t h e North Shore school may fairly taX high rank among those under the conti\ ° f the Board of Edu cation. The schd, ia well slipp lied with maps, blackboardsv^ o ther aids to school work, althougv^ expresses a desire for more des&^g number now in average attendance v ly 100 ) re quires more accommodation. Q Q airman of the Committee, Mr R. Soarafc nle> di ß tributed the prizes to the successful^ titorßj ma t.

jng a few encouraging remarks to each. The *ist of prize-holders is given below. After the distribution Mr Somm erv jii e took the oppor tunity to call the attention of parents to the great necessity that exists for sending their children regularly and. punctually to school. He pointed out that the present occasion was a proof of this, $ it wa3 clearly shewn that the only cases where decided failures had occurred where those of children which the school register exhibited as irregular in their attendance. He trusted that residents in the district would shew their appreciation of the eft orbs made by the School Committee by enabling the te^gyg t 0 effectually carry out their arduous duties, and this they could best do by encouraging regularity and punctuality.
