Closing OF THR SCHOOL TERM,


SCHOOLS OF the CITY c0mme0coQ WoQneSQAy With
the Adams school, under the charge Of G. Sid,
ney Smith, as principal. We were present fol
short time in the afternoon and were exceed.
ingly gratified not only with the proficiency
displayed by the scholars, of the different
classes, in their various studies, but also with
the faculty evidently possessed BY the teachers
of imparting instruction to their pupils. The
scholars stood the thorough examination well.
and reflected great credit upon their teachers.
The exercises were interspersed with singing
by the children.
We were pleased to see quite number of
visitors present, and only regret that these ex-
aminations are not more generally attended by
the parents of the children, as well as by 9TH
ers of our citizens. The examinations are not
only highly interesting to visitors but their
presence tends to encourage the pupils to re-
newed efforts for improvement. We especially
regret that our School Inspectors do not attend
these examinations as generally as they should.
We noticed yesterday that Inspectors Mattocks,
Paine, Combs, Blakeley and Ramaley were the
only ones present 1lni - ti9E Il, ~ +

G. W. Harrington, Esq, being called on refer
red to the first school in st. Paul Is years ago,
an allusion to which called up Elder Hoyt who
stated in the course of some interesting re-
marks, that he recollected visiting the first
school in st. Paul in the year 1848. It was
taught in small building built Of Tamarack
poles, the roof of which was covered with
earth. There was but eight or ten scholars
present and one-haf of these wore blankets.
Nor was this all In one end of the room was
motherly hen with her brood of chickens,
and 1t was q question in his mind which had
the most scholars, the, hen OF, the teacher, or
which was making the greatest progress in
knowledge in their respective spheres. He
closed with referring to the great progress the
city had made In her educational matters.
The exercises were then closed with distri-
button Of the certificates to Unsuccessful can
didates.
