A. I do not think that the people have compared the records from year to year so as to see the results. Consequently there is no great practical advantage. I think that there were some valuable experiments tried, which is very difficult to get.

Q. It is really local in its character?

A. I presume it is rather of that character. I have spoken without personal knowledge of it.

By Mr. Roberts :

Q. How does the attendance of students compare with last year?

A. Somewhat larger than last year. Perhaps the students average between ten and fifteen more than last year; and a larger proportion are in continuous attendance.
