MR. CAVEN’S REPORT. @ Mr. Caven briefly addressed the’students, and read the following report :—
; CHARLOTTETOWN, June 19, 1879.
To the Trustees of Prince of Wales College :
GENTLEMEN,—In accordance with your in- structions I set examination papers for the students of this Institution, in Greek and Latin, and in English Literature. There were in Greek four text books: Euripides, the Odyssey, Xenophon and the New Testament; in Latin, Livy, Virgil and Cwsar. I also set
pers for Composition, both in Greek and watin, to the different classes.
English Literature embraced the play of Macbeth, a portion of the Second Book of Paradise Lost, and the Third Canto of the Lady of the Lake, and also the History of English Literature from the accession of Elizabeth to the Restoration.
The classes in Latin I found not only con- versant with the construction and idioms of the passages selected for translation, but also amiliar with the narrative of th-ir authors within the limits prescribed for +x‘: mination. 1 concluded from this that no inatter what
es were given for translation and analysis, the results would have been eqpally satisfactory with those obtained. <
_A good deal of credit is due to the junior Cesar class. The passage which fell to their lot; was, perhaps, as difficult a one as could be found in the Commentaries—yet tive difficul- ties were surmounted with very t ease.
In Greek the same method of examination was followed as in Latin, with equally satis- actory resulta,
Jt is of importance to observe that while the

MR. ROBERT SUAW'S REPORY.
Mr. Shaw said he had examined the students in mathematics, etc. ; and that the result was sufficient to show that there had been careful training and good discip- line. In his opinion Prince of Wales Col- lege deserves well of the Province, and he advised the Leader of the Government to take good care of it.

Mr. Montrcomery’s REPorR?.
To the Trustee’s and Governors of Prince of Wales College.
GENTLEMEN,-~According to instructions 1] set papers for six classes, three in French and three in Roman History. No particular limit was prescribed for the first class in French. | was asked to select a patsage for translation from any author, and to give questions on the grammar and construction of the passage selected. I gave a moderately difficult passage for translation from Montesquieu and a number of exercises calculated to test their knowledge of the French grammar. For the second class in French I set papers in Hall’s Second Course and Brachet’s Grammar. The third were con- fined to Hall’s First Course and Grammar.
The Roman History es gpa the period between the time of Marius and the battle of Actium, including the antiquities, social and political organizations, and customs and man- ners of the Roman people. The French papers were remarkably well done, as will be seen by the large percentage of marks obtained hy the students. The an- swers given im Roman History were, in most cases, very full and accurate. A very import- ant and remarkable feature connected with the examination is, that when the pupils fell shert of the full value, it was rarely owing to inac- curacies. In almost every instance in which full marks were not obtained, they either left the question unanswered entirely, or answered such portions of them as they could clearly and intelligently set down.
Another feature worthy of notice is, that the questions requiring fa lengthy reply were answered in such a way as to indicate a very
