72 THE NEW METHOD 



PRIMARY SCHOOLS 



The importance of these schools and the difficulty 

 in properly teaching and managing them is not, we 

 fear, sufficiently appreciated. They are the founda- 

 tion of our educational system, and unless this is 

 firmly and securely laid the whole structure will 

 prove a failure. We have been remarkably fortunate 

 the past, year in having teachers of great merit in 

 these res'ponsible places. 



First Primary. — This school has been under the 

 charge of Miss Clara E. Crosby during the entire 

 year. Good order has been maintained, and very 

 commendable progress made in all the studies. 

 Through the energy and tact of the teacher, each 

 term has been an improvement over the preceding. 



Second Primary. — This school presents a model of 

 excellent order, and energetic and spirited teaching, 

 joined with activity, lively interest and perfect obedi- 

 ence on the part of the scholars. Miss Alice C. 

 Gray, teacher.
