 A daily record is kept of the conduct and standing ut each pnpil. on 
 the principle at present adopted in Upi>er Canada College, and a 
 monthly report sent to each parent for inspection. 'Hie pupils are

 the work of the previous month on the tai^t hoo dai/s of the nionthj ami

 term ; the examination at Christmas being on the work of th;^ prcviouA 
 six months, and that at midsummer on the whole work ot the year, 
 wiiich it closes. The promotion of each pupil is determined by tm 
 as-erage result of these various examinations taken in connection %vit!i tin' 
 average of tlie daily record. 
 
 The Scriptures are read every morning, and from ten to twenty vetw.s 
 assigned at the close of each week to be committed for the tollowjnf» 
 Monday morning. M oral influences, together with impositions of various 
 kinds, and suspension from privileges, are relied on entirely as the ineati.M 
 of enforcing discipline and application to study. The number oj pupil'* 
 under one teacher is limited to twenty-five. The number of assi.stiuits 
 employed, therefore, will depend upon the number of pupiU.

 very satisfactory, and his couts*- as a student and t«'aclier marked l»y tho- 
 r«:-ghness, correctness, and zeal, in the performan<;e t)f his duties.
