-29— Scholarships, etc.

Examinations for scholarships in connection with the Prince of Wales College and Normal School are held biennially. These scholarships are eight in number. Six of the annual value of $80 are held for two years, and entitle the possessors to ex- emption from fees. Two are assigned to each of the three

counties, and the competition is restricted to pupils who reside in the particular county. The two remaining scholarships, which scuure for the successful candidates immunity from fees, but confer no endowment, are reserved for pupils from schools in the City of Charlottetown. The examination for these scholarships is the same as that designated the Junior Entrance Examination.

There are no scholarships in connection with St. Dunstan’s College. The “Connolly Bequest” provides for the education of boys of Irish parentage. These young men can be sent by the Trustees of the Fund to any Institution, but they generally enter St. Dunstan’s to prepare for the Universities.

The “ Daniel Hodgson Scholarship,” entitling the holder to a three years’ course, and worth $150 per annum, is open for competition to intending students for King’s College, Windsor, N. S., or Laval University, Quebec, alternately.

The following medals are awarded at the Prince of Wales College :—

The Anderson Gold Medal to the most distinguished Student; the Governor General’s Silver Medal to the best student in Mathematics; the Governor General’s Bronze Medal to the best student-teacher in the department of School Manage- ment; and the Vice—Chancellor’s Medal to the best student in English.

His Excellency the Governor General also awards Bronze Medals annually to the student having the highest standing in the three Public Schools of Charlottetown, and in the High Schools at Summerside, Alberton, Tignish, Souris and George- town.
