J 5. DURHAM CHRONICLE Now, in the face. of such evidence as we have given in the preceding pun- gnph, is there any ground to find “Inuit with the results of our school with two teachers. whose combined calories do not much more than equal the lowest salary paid to any one teacher in any one of the above named Institutes. Toronto is universally regarded as the educational centre of the province of Ontario, and if any schools in the province have a competent stat! of teachers. and competent equipment, the Toronto schools are certainly up toall the requirements. We cannot say how many candidates wrote on the particular examination that con- stituted the special feature of the highest work in our school. viz., Part 1! Jr. Leaving, but we certainly feel: inclined to believe that the number of ‘ students in attendance in the Toronto Collegiates in that department exceed- ed or equalled at least the number in training in Durham Public School. Here are the totals who passed in the Toronto Collegiate Institutes zâ€"Jamie- son Avenue (9 teachers, all specialists) passed 8. Jarvis Street Collegiate (10 teachers, all specialists) passed 17, Harbord Street Collegiate Institute (12 teachers. all specialists) passed 12. It will thus be seen from the foregoing that from what we should suppose ought to be the best schools in the province. 3] teachers. all specialists, and university graduates, have turned out 37 candidates. As intimated above we are not able ! to make a comparison with individual r schools, but even the effort to prevent comparison is not yet complete, and the loop-hole that's left by the Depart- ment enables us to examine sufficiently into the matter to base our conclusions that Durham School stands well on the result of the recent educational tests, and that the passing of eight non-professional second class candi- dates is good work in the face of a rigid examination, and in comparison with other institutions, having a larg- er stall and much better facilities for the instruction of candidates. From the number of candidates who wrote in Durham and the number who passed, which was less than 50%, the chronic grumbler and the educational cynic are likely to be loaded with unfair criticism of the work our School has been doing. At first we felt the per centage of successful candidates was‘ rather lower than we imagined it ought to he but a wide experience with examinations, and the preparation of candidates for the different depart- mental tests prevented us from ex- pressing a decided opinion without a fair share of investigation. The results of Part II Jr. Leaving and Matriculation Part II Examina- tions appeared by (‘ounties in the To- ronto Dailies of Friday last. Hitherto the different examining centres were shown in the reports, but the Educa- tion Department, to prevent compari- son has abandoned its former method of reporting, and now the whole list for each County appears in a separate section.

The following is the list of successful candidates at the recent examination fur Part II J 1'. Leaving :â€" an innocent teacher who is just recup- erating from a year of anxiety. But why elaborate on the situation. It must be remembered also that teachers alone are not the only factor in successfully building up a big result when the examinations are announced. Many candidates are very indifferent during the whole academic year, and it is quite probable that some of this class can he found right here in Durâ€" ham. The parents, too, are often in- different, and never take any interest in schools or examinations till plucking time comes when they give full vent to their wrath in belching their gas on In our opinion Principal Allan and Miss Lick are deserving of credit for the excellent results attained when a fair and unpartial comparison is made with other schools all over the prov- ince. \Ve heartily congratulate them on the good standing taken by the school, and we congratulate the pupils who have been successful in the recent examination.
