As printed in the Daily Examiner, Charlottetown, June 18, 1888.St. Ann's School
The annual examination of the classes in St. Ann's Convent School, in this city, took place on Friday last. Among those present and assisted in the exercises were His Lordship Bishop McIntyre, Rev. Allan Macdonald, Rev. F. X. Gallant and Rev. J. C. McLean The pupils acquitted themselves in a manner highly satisfactory to all present--those of the more advanced classes doing particularly well, answering the questions put them with an ease and aptitude which clearly indicated the thoroughness of the instruction imparted. Samples of plain sewing and knitting--the work of the pupils--were shown and were much admired.
The good Sisters of St. Ann's are doing a noble work among the little ones - and they are doing it in a quiet way. Each year they educate--morally as well as intellectually - a large number of children. That the little girls soon learn to love their teachers and to co-operate with them in their efforts to prepare for the great battle of life, is amply attested to on a visit to the institution.
