Archdeacon McLean had charge of classics and the Rev.Samuel Pritchard conducted the English branches in what was now called St.John's College.
In connection with the parish school of Kildonan the Rev.John Black, who was, as we all know, a scholarly man, gave instructions in classics to a number of young men, who were thus enabled to take their places in Toronto University and in Knox College, Toronto.
In addition to these schools, Mr.Gunn, of St.Andrew's, afterwards Hon.
Donald Gunn, had for a time a commercial school at his home for the sons of Hudson's Bay Company factors and traders, so that they might be fitted for the company's business in which they were to succeed their fathers.
GIRLS' SCHOOLS.
From the death of Mr.Macallum, 1849, there was a vacancy in the school for girls until 1851, when Mrs.Mills and her two daughters came from England to assume its charge.

A new building was erected for this school a little further down the river to which was given the name of St.
Cross.

This was the same building enlarged with which we were familiar a few years ago as St.John's Boys' College, and which has lately been taken down.

Mrs.Mills is said to have been very thorough in her instruction and management.

The young ladies were trained in all the social etiquette of the day in addition to the more solid education imparted.
