1he iirst girls class, under Mrs. Getchell,
nstnrally claimed our chief attention. We heard
them through their parsing, analysis and United
States history, with much pleasure. Mr.. Parham,
ths Superintendent, questioned the young ladies'
closely and critically; and bis questions we're the
more Weikhty, that the girls recognized in two Of
fae gentlemen who sat at his side, Messrs. Rogers
and Lusher tie invncible Superintendent and head
DirertcF III the FIRST District Schools. The young

unphantly meet he hest necessary 70 their admia-
sion into the High School.
The literary exercises, oT readings Of original

taining compositions, reating q the antipodes of
