WARD SCHOOL No. 1.-THE semi-annua Ex
animation of Fourteenth Ward School No 4, in
Maron.st near Prince, was held yesterday By the
County Superintendent, in presence of Messr5
Martin W est, Boyd, Dolan. Mcdonald and others
OF the School Officers, who appear to be very at
ten,ive to the interests Of the school under their
care. Messrs Martin and West especially de-
serve notice for their devotion to the cause Of Edu
cation.
The exercises commenced in the Primary De-
partment with $50 pupils present $50 on register
under the care of Miss Kate Mcmahon, principal,
with Misses T. P Meginley lst assistant and
Helen c. Brien, Julia II. spader, and Sarah }.
Martin, junior teachers. The order and general
appearance of the school was better than we eX-
pected, and the intelligence Of the classes very
fair In the Ladies Department there were $50
girls present with 225 on the register under the
direction Of Mrs. Duling, principal, assisted by
Misses Virginia P Dnling, first assistant, with
Rosa NJ. Martin and T. NJ c. WiIIoughby, junior
teachers The school was in excellent condition,
and we have seldom seen finer classes. The eX-
ercises were pronounced superior by the eXami-
ners There has been decided improvement since
the last examination The great difference in the
number present and on register is owing to the
number Of sectarian schools in the vicinity, which
have drawn oil many pupils who-now that the
Free School Law is q fixed fact-are returning to
the Ward Schools There were some elegant spe-
cimens of needlework and penmanship.
In the Boys Department there were IL pupils
present and 24o on register, under the care Of
Theodore Rich, Esq Principal assisted by Messrs.
S. P. Phelps, John Boyle, and Miss Honora Had
son. The order and general intelligence dis.
played were quite good and decidedly superior to
the last examination There is room for 800
more pupils in the school which is as ably taught
as any we have visited We hope the friends of
education will not relax their efforts to fill this
school tic its utmost capacity. Surely ne man
however strong his prejadices or however deep
