II.—Mathematics (Mr. Kyle's).

During this session I have confined my teaching wholly to algebra and geometry. In algebra those attending for the first year have got to simple equation, those for the second year to quadratic equation (Todhunter's Smaller Algebra), while those for the third year have gone through simple equation, evolution, indices, surds, and quadratic equation (Tex-book, Todhunter's Larger Algebra). In geometry, the first two books of Euclid have been gone over. Deductions were given out once a week, and were very creditably done by several. The home work, especially in algebra, has been very satisfactory, both in quality and in quantity. The conduct of the students throughout the session has been orderly and gentlemanly in the highest degree.
