Asithmeiic, D 10 Grammar Mrs. Byers
asked The questions, and did it with an
ease SD skill tbat marked the experi-
encsd and aecomplished teacher, THE
boys recited well. In Mental Arithmetic,
also, they did very crsdisably.
The third class contained twenty-three,
boys, nearly all If whom read finely, in
deed. We thought this class read better
than any other class of boys ia the schools.
The enunciation was deliberate and dis.
tinct. The words were pronounced cor
srectlys and the boys seemed to give the
spirit aswell as the words of the lesson
in their manner of reading it. InSpell-
ing they missed seven words ont of
forty given out. Their spelling was not
equal to their reading.
iTThe fourth clssswas the largest in the
school. We did not ascertain the num-
Der of boys present Up readings this
class did not acquit itself With very dis.
tinguished honor. There were great
many little fellows in the class, some of
whom appeared nervous and frightened.
Inspelling the class did very we'll 0nly
two words were missed out Of twenty-six
given out. In Rays Arithmetic the
boys did pretty well, but good many
questions were missed. The recitation
IN Geography ~asvery good. Mrs. Byers
has q very happy faculty of SO classifying
her questions as to give the scholars
very good idea of what they are about
when recitfhg in Geography She makes
the study practical from the very begin
ming. The exercise in Mental Arith-
metic was short, but did pretty we'll 3.
: Taking the school throughout, it &C
quilted itself very well. The Roll Of
Honor which we append shows the boys
did much better theoseeond term than in,
the FIRST. No doubt it took them some
time to get thoroughly acquainted with
their new teachers and their manner Of
inparting instruction. We are quite
confident the First Boys Grammar will
bsifound occupying high stand-point
in scholarship, in the next annual exam
nations. The following is Mr.. Byers'
