so pupils, and has had an average attendance
during the year of 40-46 Were present yester-
day. The examination was rigid one, and
embraced all the studies pursued. 1t was
well conducted, and taken as q WHOLE deci-
dedIy creditable. The various Questions pro-
posed were correctly answered, with few ex-
ceptions, most Of the replies being made with
ont hesitation. When we entered the room,
which, by -the-way, was tastefully decorated
with miniature ssStars and Stripes, the first
class in grammar were being exercised in
parsing, by Mr.. Miller The ohjecs Of Mr..
M, in the various questions he propounded,
was evidently TO discover whether or not the
knowledge OF the students was merely super
instances to reply correctly, and in others con-
siderable hesitation, yet Sufficient evidence
was afforded that proper effort had been made
verbally dull study pleasing and interesting
TO her pupils. The second class in grammar
acquitted themselves handsomely. In arith-
metic great aptitude was eyinced, difficult
examples in fractions being solved with COM
paratiye ease by very young misses. The
questions in geography too, We're promptly
and correctly answered. The exercises in yo-f
cal music We're under the direction of Prof.
Daniel. A number of compositions were rem
dered in fine style. Quite number of yisiterS
were present during the examination, all of
ing In which this school is held is at the cor
ner of f and Tenth streets. 1t is old and rick
ETY., and wholly unfit for the purpose for
which il is used. 1t is in noisy locality; is
infested with rats: and affords not SO dare
foot of ground where the scholars can recreate
themselves during intermissoRs. number
Of schools are held here, some of them of the
first grade, and it is to be hoped they may be
transferred to some more suitable locality. At
the close of the examination the school was
