This school pasted an excellent examination; ~

year their Answeo were quick and corre,t.
THIS school, at the beginning Of q year, was
composed Of scholars all ht for q primary school.
It has been iIisb sanderson's aim to qualify then

tutej MesSrs. Kills and Murtagh, Of the Beard Of
Trusteesi 4. X. Gray, ESQ, DR.. Croggon, Mr.
Ffapklin, j. Il. Rorrta, Eaq., together with the
principals Of the other grammar schools. The ex-
ANNA ion took place In the room of the Fourth
Female Grammar School, which was handsomely
decorated,
The examination was very thorough, and It is
difficult to determine In what peculiar branch OF
study the boys exoelled, 80 satisfactory was the
ent re examination. In the hTst mental srith-
metic aRd grammar, after most searching ex ami
nAtlo it was found that the boys could answer
any question that could be given them within the
scope Of their studies. -.
Notwithstanding toe Disadvantages under which
this school abors, being located the Arsen nAl,
where boys are employed, and where their parents
freluently send them in the middle OF the year,
thereby affecting materially the Interests Of the
school, 1t ranks seDohd TO none In the city, and In
some respects may be considered the nrst,
MIR. Thompson has been unusually successful in
advancing boys as young as eleven years Of age
from lower grade Of school at the beginning OF
tho year up to the hrst class in his own soh0ol.
Some Of the first boys In his school commenced
the year ia his lowest classes, anu were found
fully sble to stand the fullest examination at the
head OF the trst class yesterday.
Ihe entire examiE alton reflects great credit upon
the teacher and pupils.
At the close OF the exercises the school was ad.
dressed by Mt. Ellis and Mr.. Franklin, who COM
plimented both teacher and scholars.
