a deeply affecting picture, leaving an
impression upon the memory OF all
who witnessed it, not 500 to be for

our comments, remarking that our
Board Of Education are managing most
admirably for the benefit of the scholars ;
the teachers are also evidently taking a

selves seem imbued with a feeling OF due
appreciation Of the interest felt in them,
and the great advantages which surround
them. AS this first public exhibition OF
our Gold Hill and American city Schools
has proven such a grand success, we can
but hope that the public will have the
opportunity and the pleasure OF seeing
them frequently repeated.
