TEN of the pupils were entered last month for the School examinations of the Associated Board of the Eoyal Academy and the Eoyal College of Music . It is satisfactory to learn that the whole of the girls passed—three in the Higher Division , five in the Lower Division , and two ( quite little girls )
in the Elementary Division , with distinction . Miss Eedgrave , the principal Governess and chief musical instructress , may well be congratulated on this pleasing result . For the College of Preceptors' Examination and the * Cambridge Local Examinations , just completed , upwards of one hundred girls in all were entered .
