IReview of the l eai The first day of the current year broug-ht consternation to the hearts of those whose duty it was to provide accommo- dations for the pupils and to org-anize the school.

The plan of requiring- an exami- nation for admission has been earnestly advocated, but it is probable that some system of probation or trial will finally be adopted. The one most favored allows the entering- classes a trial of four months, and if any prove themselves unable to do the work satisfactorily, they will be sent back to the Grammar Schools, while those who have attained a proper standard of scholarship will be retained as reg-ular members of the school. This plan is in operation in many colleg-es and meets with g-eneral favor. The work of instruction in all departments of the school is carried on bv a force of thirtv-seven teachers, in addition
