MR, CHAIRMAN, LADIES, AND GENTLKMIX,— IN presenting a Report of the Second Annual Examint- _t. tion in Classical and English Subjects AND in Alodem Languages of the Cambridge School, Swansea, I have much pleasure in expressing my satisfaction at the quality of the work and the marks of progress exhibited. I should like to see the numbers of the school larger, AS the more advanced subjects are necessarily somewhat re- stricted at present; but I feel confident that an excellent foundation has een laid with the present scholars. The work of the examination,which was last year dome partly viva voce, has this time been performed wholly upon paper. This is a severe test of the capacities. I MAY add of the endurance of the pupils. But the system upoa which the School was established, considers this search- ing test from outside to be absolutely indispensable, AND it is my desire to lay the results fairly before the public. Of the sixteen papers which I have set and looked over, I may refer in particular to the English Essays, the History and Latin of Class I., and the French Transla- tions and Grammar. These were excallently done. Some of the Essays appeared to me quite as well worth reading as some effusions upon the same theme which have lately appeared in print. The tendency to fine writing was less marked than is usual in schoolboy com- positions, but I would advise all the scholars to keep it in check, and aim at adorning their Essays with fact. plainly stated The text-book of the Fir.,t History Class was Green's Short History of the English People." The answers showed that it bad been intelligently read and appreciated. So too of the Historical English Grammar; that subject, which can be made so dry, has been taught in such a manner as to evoke the interest of the boys. Of the translations from Cicero into English, I need only remark that they would secure credit in the University Local Examinations. I must now go on to say that the work of some of the younger boys was by no means so creditable. The lower classes in Latin, from circumstances which have been ex- plained to me, were not expected to do very well. I would address a word of encouragement to the little boys if they ever do well in Latin, it will only be by taking pains. So too with their English Analysis. I ana. not surprised that they find it difficult. But it was very well done by the first class, and I trust the boys now im Class II. will do it as well next year. The English work as a whole is accurate, and even better than 4 was last year. On several of the papers could not easily decide between the merits of the best boys. Thus Evans did well in Grammar. Woolley ia Geography but altogether Pockett and Harris come first in Class I.; in Class II. Trew and Herbert come off with credit. Geography, which WAS a good subject last year, is SEN- sibly improved; and the best answers have little to be desired for style or information. The History of Class II. is also very satisfactory, jand Evans's paper much pleased me. In French, the translations into English attain a high average, and the accidence is also good. I cannot bestow so much praise on the French translations from English: only one or two boys did well. I understand that, from the nature of the arrange- ments, this Examination Week has been a severe trial to those most immediately concerned. I can assure their friends that they have come out of it with credit, and I hope they will enjoy a well-earned holiday. I have the honour to be, Your obedient Servant, ROBERT DREW HJCRg, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN,— I have the honour to present the following report of my examination of the Cambridge School in Alatheoifc- tics, Chemistry, and Natural Philosophy :—The Euold papers were very good. Four boys presented Books I.—IV., and two Book I. The lowest boy obtained 38 percent, of the full marks in Bookwork aed Riders. Indeed the proportion of problems done was much above the average for schools. The rapidity of the work was great. Evans especially distinguished himself by obtain- ing 90 per cent. of full marks, though he had only spent one term at the subject. In Algebra (including Fractions, Simple Equations, and Problems) the average obtained by the hoys ws 78 pec cent. one boy, Pockett, obtaining full marks. This result could only be due to excellent and systematic teaching. The Arithmetic paper was, unfortunately, too long foe the time allotted, so that the marks obtained were low, Harris, however, was first with 70 per cent. The leading rules and principles were well appreciated. r' In Chemistry and Natural Philosophy the answering was very sound, and high per centages were attained by all. I feel certain that the boys examined would obtaia good places in the Government Science and Art Exam- inations. and impressed as I am with the importance of an external and uniform test, I think the Head Master would do well to send in some boys on the next occasion. It would be well too, if the Head Master were to intro- duce a weekly examination into the school, to toaclt the importance of repeated revision, and to make the boys more familiar with paper work. The whole character of the work showed an earnest effort to give the boys thinking habits the faults of style displayed will wear off by practice in written examinations. Your obedient servant, R. W. GENESE, M.A., St. John's College, Cambridge. (8th Wrangler 1871.) The Head-master also received from E. M. Richards, Esq. the following report on Precis Writing Brooklands, Aug. 8th, 1879. Dear Sir,—I have carefully read the "precisj papers submitted to me I am agreeably surprised at the able way in which the article from the Spectato)- has been dealt with, and so far as my judgment goes, each of the pupils has ably grasped the subject and condensed it ia a most creditable way. I would Krange them in order of merit :— Hams First. Woolley Second. Angel. Third. I will accept your invitation to be present at your meet- Ing, and if you desire it, I will state, verbally, the impression made on my mind by each of the writers; meanwhile, I may say that Harris's performance betokens careful, thoughtful work; Woolley's sharper INTELLECT but with one or two faults of style; Angel s bears IMARKS of care and method, betokening gr P LSE> BUT he clearly has not yet arrived at a point of equal power to the other writers. Yours very truly, EVAN M. RICHARDS. E. T. Davies, Esq., B.A., Cambridge School. PRIZE LIST. N.B.-By our rules, a boy cannot receive more than two prizes.
