the fact that students apply for admission who are entirely unqualified through lack of training in elementary branches to pursue the lowest studies of this department of necessity the passing of test examinations has been made a requisite for entrance and upward of 50 have been denied admittance during the present school year through their inability to enter the intermediate classes it is to be sincerely hoped that institutions for preparatory etu eta lounder ly under the church school sN system stem will be established at an early day within this city THE ACADEMIC department has remained in
