The teachers have received new inspiration to prosecute their all important work with more zeal and strength and confidence and the students themselves are stroDg in their determination to apply themselves to their studies with more iiligence, care and thoughtfulness. On the whole it was a very pleasant and profitable occasion and much ijood, which will leave its impress on ? 1 ? ? J 3 the minds ot those wno aitenueu these opening exercises, will come cut of it. The opening day nintey pupils were 3nroled, which far exceeds the number of any previous opening day, of which number thirty-one are in the primary department, twenty-seven in the intermediate and thirty-two in the Collegiate departments.
