THE GREYTOWN SCHOOL.
i On Friday an examination of theGrevtowi* School was held by tho Rev. X Gawdell',- assisted by Messrs. Haines and Wakelit.. Mr. Wardell had been solicited to give his services, but was unable to attend. Tho pri> j ceo ings were kept strictly private, every one being ignorant that such an examination was ■ going to take place. Last year the public were ’ invited to attend, and the examiners stated ! that it would be desirable, if possible, on iv future occasion for the same gentlemen to attend, and compare the progress, or other-' wise, made by the pupils under Mr. Poole’s tuition. PTc would suggest that,on a future occasion', the Board of Examiners should consist of Mr. 11. Vdr, senior, and those others of his friends who appear (in their own opinion)' to posses* i the talent and wisdom of the Grey town se 1 1 levs, Mr. Poole might also open a “School for Elocution,” and we can testify, from onr own personal knowledge, that an example o? “strength of lungs” will not "be wanting in the' schoolmaster, if it is in the pupils. To he sure, there might he noticed a slight omission occasionally in aspirating the letter "hj,” nmf the grammar might he sometimes faulty. But what is that when we can talk abmrt “ Heddication ? ” and can bring up our children to be stum]) orators, and preach ter their betters on the advantages they have reaped from having been “ educated” m fheir , youth hymen who ought first to have gouo to school themselves.
