ST. PAUL'S SCHOLARS' NIACAZlNE. OCTOBER, 1898. PRICE ONE PENNY The Headmaster's Desk, St. Paul's School. The scholars I am sure will rejoice with me at the success of the boys who have gained the County Scholarships this year. Their names were published in last month's Magazine. At the same time we must express our sympathy with the girls. They were looking forward to the examination in July, but were sorely disappointed to find that no Scholarships were to be be granted this year. I do not know where the fault lies, but it is hard that Bangor girls should be debarred from the privileges which are open to every girl in Wales outside of Bangor. It may be said that the girls should enter the County School and pay the fees. But, the fees are much too high at the Girls' County School and at Friars, compared with the fees of other schools in the County. I have now the pleasure of congratulating Nellie Evans, on her success in gaining the Tate Scholarship. She is only eleven years of age, and the examination was open to the whole of North Wales. Well done ! Nellie. We shall watch your future career with great interest. The following information may be interesting. It gives the number on books and the average attendance since 1883.
