Public schools. Close OF Term.

The fall term of the Public Schools of this CITY
closed last week. The past term has been fa>
vorably regarded as one of profit in the various
departments generally. The School on the north
side of the river under the charge of Mr.. Pope
was closed with public exercises on Thursday
last. goodly number of parents were present,
and evinced satisfaction at the progress which
had been made.
The Norm Il School connected with the Keno
sha High School, gave highly interesting in
| tellectual entertainment on thursday evening.
The essays read by the young ladies evinced
highly cultivated taste and good mental train
ing. The young gentlemen connected with the
Normal School, did themselves much credit, in
performing the parts assigned them.
1t is proper to say, that the Normal School,
which has been in progress during the past term
under the immediate supervision and instruction
of Mr.. L. j. Conatty, has been instrumental ~
preparing large number of young ladies and
gentlemen for the profession of teaching. 1t is
safe to say, that any district requiring the SER
vices of a good teacher, would do well to employ
one who has had the benefit of instruction in
this Normal class. Teaching is an art, and ID
being more and more regarded as profession
and hence those who have been especially edu
Gated with view to that profession, will be en-
titled to the preference wherever there is de-
mand tor teaches. A large majority of the
members of the K enosha Normal School, are O
sufficient age. and possess the requisite qualif-
cations to to take charge of school. There
a few who have been members of the Norma
class during the past term, who intend to avail
themselves of the benefit of another term of in
struction, before offering themselves as candi
dates for teaching. The following have beer
members of the Normal School during the past
term in conformity to the rul, and regulations

We believe it to be the unanimous Expression
of this community, that our Public School has
never been more successfully managed. than du
ring the period which Mr.. Conatty has been the
Principal. The success of our educational in
situations, is ajust cause of qualification to every
CT tizen it is hoped they may continue to enjoy
the confidence and cordial support of our entire
population.
