fmm Inin r.a.l h.iv t.Mla.v by th.- chairman, that Halifax was ih.. most '
c\hXMv pla.T, aiul that a gmit.-i- niimhiT of pupils w.aihl attend there than 1
ill any other plaee. I was not pivpare.l to see sueh an a.sen.hla.'e of pu- '
pds Irom all parts of the Province as is now before ii.'; one-third of tho \
number was iiuite as many as I expected to see. But vvh.'ti, uistead of \
about twenty, as I ha,l thought there w.n.ld be, I see sixtyor more re^pee-
table and intelligent l..oking pupils— wh..n T lo.ik at ih.i haudsom.. and
eonvenient biiil.ling. and to the grounds surrounding, I find that I w7h
mistaken, and 1 acknowledge it.
" Some self-coiucMi.-d folks there arc we know,
Who if once wrong would needs be always so."
But I desire not to imitate these, and therefore frankly acknowledge my
mistake. In <lue time 1 hope there will be a similar institution in Halifax 'i
and in other parts of the T^-ovinee: but in the mean time I hope, Mr'
f'fiairman, this inslituticm, so promisincfly commenced, will prc^ner Under '
your siiper^-idon, and I vrizh it every success.
