Closing of the Public schools,

! The summer term of the Public Schools of
this city closed on Friday of last week. Dur
ing no previous summer term, have the differ
ent departments of the school been so full as
tha one just closed. An unusual degree OF
harmony, between teachers, scholars and pat
rons of the school, has prevailed during the
term, and the progress of the schools was per-
/ haps never better. The exercises of Friday in
the forenoon, were chiefly devoted to the award
! ing of certificates to the scholars from several
of the lower departments, who had been exam
| ined on the previous days. and adjudged quail
| fed for promotion. We regret to say this exer-
! else was not so generally attended by par
ents and friends, as its Importance Demands
No more interesting periods occur in the lives
OF scholars than these promotions at the end
OF school terms TO higher department of study
The intense interest and satisfaction which
| manifeSts itself in those scholars who have pas
sed through the ordeal of a thorough examina,
ton, and appear on the platform to receive the
| diploma s of promotion, it would seem should
awaken a corresponding interest with parents
and the friends of education generally.
