EScVIew Ia kcn0sha Female Seminary.

A review Of the studies pursued by the pupils
respectively in this Seminary, was held on Fri
dry, the 9Th. inst, and was conducted by Miss
Brongh,on Principal, and Misses Zurr Brugg
and McNicker, Assistants. There We're be-
tween forty and fifty pupils present and were all
females eXccpta few small boys. The cxcrcis-
es were commenced in the morning and con,in-
ucd till after noon; resumed at one and closed
between five and six in the afternoon
was present about half the forenoon, and the
most of the afternoon, and heard classes in Spell
ing Reading ana Grammar, Mental Arithmetic,
Practical Arithmetic AMI Algebra, Rhetoric and
French, and Defamation by the boys, Singing BY
the scholars, and Reading the O!io or Paper by
the Editors. The classes were heard by their
respective teachers in the studies they had pur-
sued during the term, and they spoke sufficient
" loud, and with clear and distinct enuncia-
ton. was we'll pleased with the enuncaton
of the pupils generally.
The classes &n spelling DID to!erobly well, bot
did not always spell correctly, according to the
present unphonetic system of spelling. In Road
ing the pupils deserved much credit, and | was
well pleased with the class in Grammar in ana
lyzing or par5ng sentences. The class in Men
tai Arithmetic gave great deal of pleasure to
the spectators by their prompt and correct solu-
tions of the problems given. The class in prac-
teal Arithmetic did very well, and the same may
be said of the class in Algebra as tar as the ex-
animation was pursued. The class in Rhetoric
did well, and DO no more than justice when
say that the best rhetorcianS present declined 10
ask any questions, more probably, from fear of
exposing their own deficiency than from favor
to the pupils. The class in French was quite
fluent, and Judging from the fNct that Miss Zurr
Brugg, the teacher of French, has spoken the
French language from childhood as we'll as from
the Auency of the pupils, should think they
were doing remarkably well, bat as understand
my ycrnacular only l will not attempt to de-
eide.
The Declarations BY the boys We're we'll per-
formed. They spoke loud and distinct, and |
should think were generally understood by all
Singing at the close Of the exercises forenoon
aud afternoon was very good and speaks loud
y in commentator of the management of the
Seminary. The Olio was very able collection
Of articles written by the pupils, and was we'll
read BY two young ladies'. The Olio would
make very respectable appearance in print, and
would Do credit to the Seminary as we'll as to
the ladies' who contribute 70 its collection. And
if the patrols and friends of the Seminary do
not secure the publication OF this number,
think they ough: to provide for the publication
Of the number which will be furnished for the
close Of the first year.
When was presen; during the exercises
took 10 minutes Of the proceedings, and did not
think Of furnishing an article for publication, bu,
as those to whom it properly belongs are likely
to neglect the daty, have taken the liberty to
present the above remarks. think the Board Of
Visitors ought to furnish report Of every pub
lie review or examination in the Seminary, and
the Superintendent, Of every public examination
10 the Public Schools, for publication Nothing
would contribute more to promote the advance
ment and best interests Of a Seminary or School,
shan the publication Of an official report accom-
panied BY proper remarks Of every public review
and examination, and hope it will be neglected
no longer.
I;was stated by the Principal at the close Of
the exercises, that the present was not intended
as 4 public examination, but as review of the
studies pursued during the term. That it was
the intention TO have review at the close Of ey-
cry term, and public examination at the close
of the year. And that the next term would be
commenced On the l6Ihinst, ard continued elev-
en- weeks, and at the close of the term and Of
the year, there would be public examination,
