PUBLIC SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS The an.
nuaf examinations OF the public schools OF

oral examinations taking place in the afternoon,
when the folio wing schools were examined:
Primary No. 4, First District Miss Oceana

smalD fifty. nine of W nom were present at the
axamina ion, one being detained at home by
sicsness This school is divided into three
GRASSES, the scholars of the first class having
improved so rapidly as to make it necessary

ginning of tine next scholastic wear The ex-
animation was conducted by Mr. Wilson, trus-
Tee, who congratulated the scholars at the
progress they had made during the past year.

taught In schools OF this grade, viz:-Readlng
spelling diCtatiOn, writing, singing, &c In
spelling the scholars of the first class were

lacked In this they made mp in their other les
sons. The I'd and Sd classes in all the branches
they had studied done much better than could
nave been expected for children of such tender
age. The singing by the scholars, separately
and together, was very gvod.
Primary No. 6, Second District, Miss Parker
leacner.-Tnls school is located on 9th street,
near street, and has been IN progress about
two months The building is 8 long two story
wooden structure, not as furnace in summsr,
and equally subject TO the extreme of cold in
winter. Primary No g, composed wholly of
girls, Is on the first floor. and on the second
Primary No. (boys,) MISS TiIley teacher
The latter school is examined 20. day. Owing
to the indisposiion OF Mr.. Rhees, Miss ParEer's
school was examined by Mr.. Wight. Only
reading, writing and elementary arithmetic
are taught in this school. Tue scholars, how
ever, exhibited encouraging Improvement in
tneir stucies, some who never attended school
previous To the establishment of this two
months ago, reading and spelling remarkably
we'll. AT tue conclusion of the examination in
their studies, the scholars sang several pieces
ndstlcs the school was dismissed. There are
sixty three names on the rolls Of this school,
nIty SIX OF whom were present Yesterday. The
cnlloren al manifested much interest in their
school, and promise rapid advancement in
their studies None of the pare ats of the ebIl.
oten were present the only visitors being a
teaeneT OF nelehboriDg school and the reporter
OF the Star Such Indifference on the part of
parents not only indicates a total lack or ap-
Preciation OF the school privileges afforded by
the CITY, but Is calculated TO less the interest
OF the CHILDREN In their studies
Primary No., Third District, kept in the
basement OF the New Jerusalem Church north
OF the Capitol, in a room iliy adapted for
senooi purposes, was examined by MIR Hit

siderable Improvement was shown by the
scholars. The reading and spelling or tine

mental arithmetic the second class was very
good and spelling fair. The first class spell.
ing was very faIr, and the dictation exercises
tolerable. Some of the scholars are large
enough 10 be In the grammar schools. and have
evidently been sadly neglected in their early
training The teacher has had hard work
with such material but her labors have not
been in vain, she, during her first wear, {hay-

qualified her first class for transfer, and ad-
vanced all her scholars proportionately, her

Primary No. 4, Fourth District Miss Anna
vi. Bailey, acting teacher building in
which this school Is kept is Of the one story
shanty order Of architecture, as is the case
with most of the schools OF this grade in the
Fourth District. The interior, however, is
more attractive than the exterior; the room be-
ing tidily kept and amply wnitewashed, and
was on this occasion made inviting by floral
adornments The walls being pierced with
doors and windows opposite each other, the
vendlatisn is better than in many of the school
rooms OF its size. Eirty.seven of the sixty
scholars belonging to the school were present
yesterday. As usual In the Fourth Dis.
trict, in which much int rest is felt in school
matters, there was goodly attendance OF
parents and friends Of the pupils. The
school was examined very thoroughly by
Dir. Holmead, trustee. and acquitted itself
well, and with about average credit IN
the various branches taught. Miss Bailey,
celient school, seems to have G. good idea of
government, and altogether gives promise of
making successful teacher.
