PONSONBY GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

■ PRIZE-GIVING DAY. I Ink r.riaes. .were giv.n-to the bprs or the ■Pon^O-iby Gramwar Sclibol by T. Peacock J_.sq..,: (the Mayor), in the hall, on Monday e.eidng last, at 7:30. There were also present: RevD.jW. Kuiiciman, M.A.; Rev..,J. Robertson M.A.; C DeFEau, Ksa. (examiners ; J. H. Upton mq., sßdl.Patze.T__g.. His Worship.said : Ladies aSd gentlemen,— vVhen I was asked to preside at the distribution of prizes at this school, I did ao with much pleasure, because I had heaia that the work -_oue her. was ,of a tatisfacijory nature. This school is intended as an mtei mediate one between the District schools u-iiO the Auckland, Co lege aud Grammar hchool, and lam mu_h pleased, and I think thatithe residents of Po_-s inby are to Kcongratulated on having a _ chool of .his nature in their midst, one where a good sound eoucatiou is to be outained, fur'the tendency of this age is towards giving a showy. rather thnn a sona education lowards having a few brilliant scholars put forward at an examination, rather than a good, ev..n average, for the class. Now this must be bad, especially for beginners, because it is peculiarly at that time that soundness in education is specially valuable, arid you may depend upon it that a few subjects well taught are worth much more than many superficially taught, I wish now to say something.to you hoys :to those who have sained prizes, and those who have not. To those who have, I would say. "Try next year to win the same number again." To those who have not, "He not disheartened, but try once more; you may have better luck next time. 1 will now call upon the master to read the exammera reports. , _ The reports having been read, a resume of which will be found below, His Worship asked the examiners to speak a few words. _ Mr Runciman ih.n said: __our Worship, ladies, and gentlemen,-! was very, glad when this school was commenced, because I rolt tnat it. supplied a want; but you must bear m mind mat a school cannot exist without -support; that assistance cannot be obtained, nor competent nias_er_s for special subjects, unless the number of boys warrant it, so that for your own sake you should encourage this attempt. I speak feeingly, because I have an interest in tne school; an interest to the extent of wo boys. But 1 must say that when I was asked to be an examiner, I should haye •hesitated had I known Fiat tneie were to be prizes. The. eis no doubt that the work of tne best, boys stamps to a certain extent the nature of the s-iiool, but ihe real testis not the presence of one or two boys or undeniable talent in a cla=s, but the general avera s e of the class, and, in this instance that we think has been attained. And also, 1 quit- sjnipathise with Mr Mayor as to What he has said in working on a tew subjects, and wor&ing them thoroughly, tor, as Hi=.Worship justly remarks, a boy who-iswcdi grounded when young will have more time, because he will work with greater tacdity to devote to subiects of a higher class. Mr Robertson : Mr Mayor, ladies, gentlemen, and pupils of the Pon.onby Grammar School- When I came here it was on the distinct under- Standing that 1 should not speak. As, however, I have been asked to do so, I do it with pleasure. It is a good thing to have these examinations.as we find out not only what the scholars are worth, but the teachers also. For unfortunately there are masters who arrange their examinations, fitting the questions to the order in which the boys stand beforehand, who do not, as has been done here, hand the subjects to the examiners and let the class take its chanco for better or for worse. To the pupils let me say : Do not answer four or five questions only, however well you may do so, and then stop suddenly without trying to do any more. A paper came under my notice in which there were only a few questions answered, but they wereperf ect,andlcould not help thinking What _a pity this boy did not go on, did not try at any rate to give the best possible answers, to the rest. Recollect that you have two things to consider, 'your own reputation and also the repu tation of the school. Say to yourselves, Now here is a paper which I must answer to the best of my ability, because not only my own credit is at Sake, but that also of the school. This is my school, the school to which I belong, and I mean if I can to help to pull it up." I congratulate the JupUS on their success, and wish them every prosperity, and I must state that it is with mucrplek-irrethatlhave had the opportunity of examining the school. (PRIZE LI3T. 1 Form—A.

The lists speak for themselves in this respect.—J. BOBV.KTSON, M.A., D. W. RUNCIMAN, M.A. I notice the introduction of a great improye , ment in the system of teaching French, yiz., that both questions and answers are in that language. Although contrarytotheusualsystem obtaining in' Auckland schools, no real progre-s - is .possible without it, As I understand that Tour SChOOI was _o____ea in tbe^beginmns. of the present year, I consider that the pupils have made exceptional progress, as shewn by the hlehaverage of marks.—G. Delh.au. '■• t i a._ aHiS Worship then gave away theorizes tothe boys: saying, as he did so, afew kindly words to each , It must however be borne in, imnd that no boy.gets a prize unless his combined marks . ((for examination, and for work throughout the .•yea.) entitle him to one. Three hearty cheers, *Vere then given for the Mayor for ..the examiners,, and the masters, and after His Worshio had wished the boys " A Merry Christ, ma° and a Happy New Year," the meeting broke up. a:-*'•■
