me EA4BR SCHOOL,
The Exercises at the High School yesterday, were
ofa very interesting and satisfactory character The
Rotations were very animated, and characterized
with marks of thorough and accurate discipline,
worthy of great commentator. There was a fair
attendance of visitors, increasing toward the close
of the day. The testimony of those who were pres
ent at the examination of the Greek, Latin, and
French classes reflected much credit on the scholar
ship and discipline of the teachers and the faithful
industry of the school Mr. Calkins' classes in Nath
ematics-f it is proper 10 give particular designa
ton Of any-made a most creditabe appearance, dis
playing thorough and comprehensive familiarity
with the higher principles not often found in public
schools
The examination of the Senior class in English
Literature occupied portion of the afternoon. The
Introduction of new studies into schools is often
looked upon as a dangerous innovation, and not to
be defended without the strongest of prov locations
In this instance, we think the institution of study
which it has become fashionable to neglect, deserves
entire appreciation. The field opened by the study
of English Literature is too wide to be limited by
particular Textbooks; but by the use of TTench's
Study of Words book of especial reference, and
Shakespeare example of literary excellence, the
Class is in the way Of acquiring knowledge of the
English Language, and the curiosities of English
Literature which, we venture to say, will afford
them more satisfaction and benefit than the results
of twice the study any of the classics of the dead
languages.
The class in English Literature entertained large
gathering at the Upper school-room last evening,
with the reading of the Merchant of Venice Tie
reading was spirited and appreciatiye, and, in some
Of the characters-Porta and Antonio, for instance
was exceedingly good.
The classes yet to be examined are the following,
which will occupy this forenoon:-1liddle class in
Greek, Xenophons Anahasis; Theoretical Arithme-
tic; Senior class in French, Moliere and Lamartine;
Senior Class in Latin, Cicero Middle class in 1Iate-
mates, Geometry; Junior Glass in Latin; and the
Senior class in Mathematics, Plane and Spherical
Trgonometry. This afternoon will be devoted to
Rhetorical Exercises by Mr. Spragues class in com
position and defamation, and Miss Waterman's
class in Moliere. The Exercises promise to be unu-
sually interesting The pieces, with exception,
will be original, The exercises commence at half
mast one O'Clock
