Report on Mathematics and Arithmetic.
Dear Sir,—I have completed the examination of the Mathematical Classes, and it affords me much pleasure to testify to the satisfactory results, generally, of the labours in this department during the year just drawing to its close.
On a previous occasion I was compelled to remark on the great want of accuracy and neatness exhibited by the junior divisions. I am gratified to find much improvement in these respects in the papers before me. The work, as a whole, does not come up to the standard of last year, but this was to be expected as several of the senior students have left the College, their places for the most part being filled up by younger lads not so far advanced in these subjects; still a considerable number of the papers are highly creditable, and prove that able and careful teaching has been followed up by diligent application.
I have furnished the Principal with the usual lists showing the order of merit of the pupils in their respective classes.
I am, dear Sir,
Yours faithfully,
Edward Miller.
