The mid-summer examination of Alma School,
Lot 3, took place on Tuesday 27th inst. The attendance of parents and visitors was
quite large. The examination which was
conducted by Chas A. Hardy, Esq. And Rev. A.D. McDonald was most satisfactory
throughout, proving conclusively that good and faithful work had been done both
by pupils and teacher. The whole tone of
the school, intellectual and moral is healthy and hopeful indicating on the art
of the teacher not only a deep knowledge of child nature, but also the
possession of those rare gifts and instincts which continue to make the
successful teacher. At the close of the examination
short addresses were given by Messrs. John Riley, Thos. O’Brien. Jas. B.
Mountain and by the examiner, all of whom expressed themselves as being well
pleased with the progress made by the children and the general condition of the
school. Mr. George Hardy has been in charge of the Alma School for the last
three years and now resigns his position to enter upon the study of
medicine. It is needless to say that his
resignation is accepted with deep regret that he carries with him the very best
wishes of the whole community upon which his noble Christian life has left a
powerful impress for good.
