CORNER OF
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The public schools will close Wed
nesday of next week. The final exam
inations are being held. The patrons
of the schools should visit them and
see whether good work is done. A
good, teacher will always welcome a
visitor ; and the poor teacher will be
strengthened by the visitor's presence.
Furthermore, it is not only the privi
lege but the duty of the patrons to
see if the proper teacher is employed
for instructing their children. If any
complaints are to be made they should
be made now before teachers are elec
ted for another year. There is no
better opportunity of judging what
work has been done than in the final
examinations deportment as well as
proficiency in studies can easily be dis
cerned by the watchful visitors. The
attendance in the schools during the
past year has been much better than
in any preceding year, and the teach
ers report more progress. Now that
the year has about closed and soon
prepaiatbns will be made for' the new
year, a list of prizes should be arrang
ed and suggested to some member of
the Board or to the principal, that an
nouncement can be made in due lime.
In other places prizes are given at
ever Commencement day. Who will
be first to offer a prize in some branch
of study. Each donor could select the
particular branch of study they might
desire.
BERWICK TO BE IHLAEQED.

court for the enlargement of the limits
