At the close of the exercises Inspectors Mat
tocks, Paine and Blakely briefly expressed
their qualification at the satisfactory examine
ton which had taken place.
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 1s48. 1t 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
a motherly hen with her brood of chickens.
and it was question in his mind which had
the most scholars, the hen or. 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 the successful can
didates.
