Mr.. Editot.--f last week had the
pleasure of again attending our Union
School exhibition. Having ATTENDED all
previous xa~minatiens since the estab-
lishment of the present system of teach
ing, it was with extreme regret that 1
deprived myself of that pleasure at the
last examination; but l learn from other
SOURCES, hat each Department fully
sustained themselves; and that the PR
mary department was very far in ad-
vance of any previous examination
This is encouraging, for there is pc de-
partment in our school, more Important
than the Primary. 1t is an old proverb
"that a thing we'll begun is half com
pleted." This proyerb applies well to
our schools, for if chiltren are not cor
rectly instructed in the FIRST rudiments,
they have not only to learn them subses
quently, but also to u%nlearn what they
have been taught once
The exhibitions on Thursday and Fri
day evenings were extremely interesting.
The style and subject matter of the
pieces read, and the orations, would
most certainly do credit to any Institu-
ton in our land. But the most stri-
king Improvement which l noticed, was
in the style aud ann of reading and
speaking 1t was apimating, clear and
distinct, and withal modest, and unas-
Stunning. I ann ssy how a stranger
would have been entertained, but to me,
who have watched the progress of each
scholar SINCE the Organization of the
school, it was highly gratifying.
There were young Gen tlemen, and
young Ladies, too, who took part in the
exercises Of the evening, whose first eff
forts I had witnessed. 1t seems but a
short time since they could only put to-
gether 3 few broken sentences; and
could scarce enunciate what they had

ASHLAND UNION ScHooL-Tne full
attendance at the Exhibitions held on
Thursday evening at the Court House,
and on Friday evening at the nj E
Church, attest the interest which our
community feel in the success of their
schools.
On Thursday evening the House was
SO depscly crowded that we we're unable
TO obtain a seat-and we can therefore
only repeat the current opinion, which
is, that the exhibition afforded very
satisfactory evidence of the care and
skill of the teachers and of the attain
ments of the pupils.
The chief matter of interest ON Fri
day evening was the address of DR.
THOMSON terse and comprehensive
effort, aud crowded with suggestions of
practical value.
The plan upon which diplomas for
correct department. at school. areawaid
ed, appears to US objeetiOnable-beipg
based as VS. understand they are, uron'
reports aehich each scholar for Aim or
herself at the close of each day, makes
of his or her conduct. Does the system
not offer a premium for duplicity and
.alseheod p In our criminal Courts, the
testimony OF defendants is not regarded
as conclusive. We doubt. too, the poli
cy of proclaiming the derelictions Of
scholars. It brushes out their ambition.
1t appears to US that these rewards
and puuishments 'Aor at least the
punishnuents-should be couiued to the
school room.
A highly intelligent and steadfast
friend of education, who was present
both evenings of the Exhibition, has
