SCHOOL EXAMINATION. School No. 10, in HDus-
ten street Essex was examined yesterday. This
school building is to be demolished immediately and
its place supplied by edfce, for which $4,000
has been appropriated by the Board Of Education.
The schools will meantime be quartered in neighbor-
ing churches. The Primary Department, under the
charge of Miss Harris, who has taught IN It for eight
years found to be in excellent condition. Some
OF the infantle attempts at drawing quite inter-
eetipg. The teachers here are Misses Mary l. Hir-
ris, Emelne b. Graham, Catherine Smith, Esther f.
Noe, Anna f. Van Worst, Mary Jane Mccoy, Fanny
BIdnnghawsen and Msry Ann Riley. Tn. Girls De-
partment fully sustained its high reputation for
thorough dr and prodgious cultivation Of memory.
The girls were able to repeat aud scores of
pages from their class-books without devating from
the text single word. Their readings were remark
able for dsnctness Of enuDciatiOn and slowness of
movement The teachers in this department are
Misses Georgiana NJ Watson Sarah j. De Grove,
Prudence Sill, Sarah Elizabeth Crane and Mariett,
Egber. The Boys Department is perhaps as intel.
lgently taught the girls, although considerably
ess attention is paid to rote memory. It's teachers
are, Leonsrd Hazene, principal; also OF the Normal
School Robert H. Pettigew, George W. Stewart,

drawings in this school s decidedly superior. Many
good copies wos exhibited executed by the girls under
