JOSEPII CLEMENS. Ayr, July 13, 1855. 39 COLCLEUGH'S CELEBRATED TOPDY WHISKEY ! R SALE by THOS; COLWELL. Ayr, November 16; 1854. 4 in having such School Examination; 'On Friday last, a public examination of the Ayr School took place before Mr. | Bryden, superintendent of Common Schools for this County, the Trustees, and a number of parents and others in- terested in the education of the youth of this neighbourhood. As we were not present at the examination, we can offer | mo opinion of our own as to the progress made by the children attending the School in the various branches of educa- tion taught ; but we have been informed that the examination proved creditable alike to the teachers and those taught. In the evening, addresses on education were delivered in the &chool, by Mr. Brydon the superintendent, and My. R. McLean. tae doy gle lrti Mr. Brydon referred to the great bless- ings enjoyed by the, 4 this country, ellent Common Schogls, and dwe! for some length «of time on the lasting benefits derived {rom a system of genera ducation. He said | that there were no other institutions that | deserved so much attention as our Schools. In them the youth of the country were being trained up and fitted to occupy the positions in sociéty at present filled by their parents, and if ! they did not receive such an education | as would qualify thes fo7 acting their part well m after life, then we were de- serving of censure. Mr. B. referred at some length to the moral training which ought te be inculeated at our Schools, and concluded by congratulating those present on the prosperous state of educa- | tion in this locality. He said that we bad reason to feel proud of our sehdal, as | it was certainly the best conducted Common School in the County, and the teachers yed had always been | such as were capable of performing the | (duties entrusted to them with credit. | Mr. R. McLean commenced by stat- ing that as he was apdfut to undertake {the management of our School, he thought the opportunity a good one for making a few and children as to what they might ex- pect from him, and he would slso make them acquainted with what he, as a | Teacher, expected from parents and children. He said that the Teacher of a Common School was often subjected" to much annoyance and injustice 1n con- sequence of parents not being fully ac- quainted with the duties they 'ought to perform 'in conjunction with 'ihe 'efforts made by the teacher for the educition of | their children. Parties too often jodged the actions of a teacher hastily--they too often listened to the desires of their children without consulting the teacher as to the ddyisability of the 'course to be pursued {a the education of those attend- ing School. The teacher of a school knew best what course of studies was suited 'to the different scholars in his school, and when he desired parents to procure books it was their duty to get such books without delay, in order that the affitirs of the school might be con- ducted in a pleasant and successful ADVERTISER: ervations to parents manner. Mr. McL. particularly urged on parents the necessity of sending regu- larly and punctually to school all the children attending, and proved in a very 'satisfactory manner that the children who did not attend regularly, had but a very poor chance to improve with any degree of rapidily in their studies. Ie referred to the fact that the attendance! at the school averaged from 130 to 150, and as there were to be three teachers employed during the coming year, he strongly advised the rate payers of the School Section to make the School FREE, so that all might enjoy the privilege of educating their children ; and concluded by stating that if the parents of this School Section would endeavour, in con- junction with him, to promote the 'educa- tion of their children, he would guarantee that at the close of the next year he would be able to show them unmistaka- hle proofs of the progress of education. © Blenheim Council, | Ata recent meeting of the Blenheim "Pawnship Council, a By-law was pass- led appainting the following gentlemen [Returning Officers, at the ensuing Town- ship Elections, together with the places for holding the same: Ward No. 1, at Canning, Mr. T.
