The PUBIC SCHOOL CxLEBRATIoN.- We have not
doubt that an authentic and accurate account of
the premiums and their recipients this occasion
will be read with satisfaction, and preserved by
many of our city readers for future reference,
Previous to the late examination ofthe schools the
Trustees voted that silver medal should be given
to the best scholar in each single school, and two
medals to the best scholars in each double school
premium likewise awarded to that scholar
who had made most proficiency during the year;
another to the most distinguished for good con-
duct and punctuality; and four others to those
most distinguished in their respective classes
The following list includes the names of those
who received the medals and premiums. In some
of the schools, where several of the pupils were
nearly equality, few premiums added
by the teacher and few interested friends.
