 ST. CATHARINES COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. 
 
 This Scltonl, which under the name of the (lianthani Aciuhiny was 
 fMi,n(le<l in 1H2H and is one of the oldest Kihleatinnal Institutions in 
 Ontario. ac<iuired in 1S71 the status and privileges of a Collegiate Inst- 
 tute an.l has been ranked by the Hi},di S<-liool InsjH.etors one <.t the six 
 First-ela-ss Schools in the Province. Within the last few yeai-s the Hoard 
 of Trustees have greatly increa.sed the size of the (.rininal hmldinK Uy 
 addinir two wi'.gs, one of which is .set apart for the aceonniiodation ot 
 the young 1 .les who avail thein.selves of the advantages aHonled l.y tlie 
 Institute The Class-rooms are spacious and commodious ; the Selux.l 
 furniture is of th- most suitable descri{)tion ; the different I)ei«irtments 
 are well supi)lied with maps and apparatus; and ad.litional improve- 
 ments are ma.le whenever they are found neces.sary. Besides two large 
 yards imme.liately iKjhiml the building there is an ('xcellent play groun.!, 
 well fenc'd in and connected with the School premises. As the t >ty ol 
 Catharines is situated on the Great Western Railway, a tew miles iron. 
 Suspension Bridge, it is consequently easy of access from every i ireetioii 
 Beiiur the only First-Class School in the Niagara District, the Institut<' 
 is well s.ipi)orted by the City and surroumling country, and ot late years 
 has attracted large numbers .»f students from different parts ot the 1 ro- 
 vince. fully one-half of the attendance being now troia other (^»unties 
 Thedesitm of the Institution is to furnish a sound Knglish and Classical 
 Educatbn, and to prepare candidates fi.r]*.' ^riculation in the Universi- 
 ties in Arts, Medicine, Law, and Civil Eng u ering ; ..r the Kxaminations 
 prescribed by the Law Society and Medical Cou.nci ; and t..r leachers 
 Certiticates of the 1st or •2nd Class. The sUti has been selected with a 
 view to securing the services of specialists in the ditlerent Deimrtments 
 and this is now the only Institute in the Province whose Masters are all 
 University (Ir.uluates. The success of its students at Univrsity and 
 Teachers' Examinations, and the high position it mainUuns at tlie In- 
 termediate, are a guarantee of the character of the instruction, ami every 
 effort will be made by the Trustees and Masters to increase its ethcieney. 
 To meet a want which is yearly becoming more ui-gont m cnnection 
 with higher education in many l.)calities, an etticient Preparatory School 
 has been established, into which j.upils will be admitted who are in the 
 Third Class of the Public School Programme. Boys from a distance will 
 be placed in appn.ved B(»arding Houses, under the Headmaster s supervis- 
 ion It will be seen on examination that the courses of study are a.lapte<i 
 to meet the reciuirementsof various clas.ses of students, and that while the 
 .rreat aim of the School is to do higher work, there is every facility t()r 
 Tmparting that thorough knowledge of the elementary sub|ects which is 
 indi.spensable to a good education.

 SPECIAL C'OURSKS. 
 
 University Classes.— The University Honor work in all subjects 
 is ilont' in Forms V and VI, and the Pass in Foiins IV^ and V. Candidates 
 for this Examination are, in most subjects, taught apart from the other 
 Students during the lastyear of the course, special attention being paid to 
 their preparation for University Written Examinations. Every half-year 
 a ('lass in Latin and Greek is formed of young men able to enter the 
 U|)per School or Senior Classes so far as their English and Mathematics 
 are concerned, but who have little or Jio knowledge of Classics, and who 
 wish to advance in their studies more rapidly than the ordinary members 
 of the Lower School. As preparation for University Examinations is 
 the special function of an Institute, every exertion is made by the Masters 
 to ensure success. 
 
 C()MMER(J1AL Department.— A thorough Connuercial Education can 
 be obtained in the Lower School, Gioup G, containing the special sulyects 
 of this course ; but no pupil will be allowed to omit any of the other 
 subjects of study essential to a goixl general education. 
 
 Med. Council, Law Soc, and Sch. t)F Engineering Exs.— The 
 work of these Examinations is done in the routine of the Forms. A
