ScuooI ExvxiSArIox.--w visited the gra
dcd school again yesterday. to witness the cx
animation Of the pupils and we're more and
more delighted with the many evidences OF
the efficiency of the system. established by the
Principal, and of the young ladies emp loyed
in impartiug instruction.
The pupils OF department No. 3. were ex-
amined by Miss Hyde, in Mental Arithmetic
and Elementary Geography. THIS department
consists of some sixty pupils OF both sexes.
and Of more advanced age. than No. |. Of
whom we spoke yesterday.
From their ready and accurate answers to the
multitudinous qurstions proPoundcd 10y their
teacher. or by Mr. Moore himself. il was very
evident that there had been great application
on the part Of the pupils, a. well rs careful
training by their teacher. Many Of the qae.-
tons in arithmetic, thou IN very simple. per
haps to full grown children. were nevershe
less of character quite formidable 10 mind
so young, yet the children. with scarce an cx
cepiion. answered them al once and correctly
The evidence of thorough discipline was very
apparent.
In the afternoon. department No 2, was ex
amined by Mss Bsbee. in reading. spelling
singing and reading ia concert. The excrei
ses in reading were ofthr m ,st creditable char
acier, many of the little girls Of from 3 to y
yeafs, read with clesrness Of u,,erauce, aud an
accuracy Of pronunciation and emphasis. that
would be crcditsble in many professional gen
tlemsn with whom we have been acquainted
bringing out. apparently. toe very brains OF
the subject, constituting the lesson.
Each member Of every class. we would re
mark. by the way. is prrmitied--nay. expect.
Ell 10 crisiscise any inaccuracies in the rad.
ing. OF in whatever other exercise constitutes
the lesson. which renders all exceedingly ut
ienii,e. enabling them at times to detect er.
rors ia pronunciation. dc. which would escape
the notice Of ereL careful listener.
But the reading in eoucert, was a., feature ol
the hour. during which we were present. I'll,

his son William. and which j. - familiar Ia

So accurate was the enunciation that nj
though you could distinctly hear almost every
one of the twenty Eve or thirty girls ~hs com
posed the class. there was not a single jar OF
discord TO mar the harmony Of the performance
All who witnessed the examination Of thi.
class yesterday. will. we doub, not, sustain u.
in saying that Miss Bebee has 40 superior a,

cult branches OF misunderstanding. How

hope to see a chsngein this particular whom III,
