The Third Glass read two or three
lessons in clear and distinct man
ner. We believe there were no cor
rections made in this branch of study
in this class. In Spelling there was
not failure, but in Mental Arith-
metic two girls failed to solve the
problems given with the readiness re-
quired, which passed to second
scholar, and the solution was given at
once. In Geography the examina-
ton was protracted, but every ques-
ton was readily answered. The class
is an excellent one. Some of the
girls composing it are quite small,
but all were ready and quick. s
The remarks in regard to the Read
ing and Spelling of the Third Glass
will, with equal propriety, apply to
this one. In Geography the qpes-
tons were varied from those of the
other class, of course, the scholars
not being so far advanced. OF the
numerous questions asked, there
were but two who failed. In Mental
Arithmetic, the examination was
quite as searching, and resulted in a
perfect recitation.
The girls of this school sing sweetly.
Some of them have as sweet voices as
we have ever heard. This is notable
feature of Miss BOWS school, who,
with the aid of her excellent and ac-
complished assistant, deserve great
credit for the success of the school, :
Rev. Mr. McCarrer, being called
on, made some appropriate remarks,
speaking words of encouragement to
the school. He expressed himself as
highly gratifed with the manner in
which the scholars had acquitted
themselves, and we are sure he but
expresses the feelings of all the visi-
tors.
Two little girls stepped forward,
and in behalf of their schoolmates,
made each of the teachers the posses
sor of a nice present, as they said, as
a slight token of their regard and love
for them.
Miss Dow read the following list of
pupils who had not been absent dur

EXAMINATION OF THE HEBREW
SCHOOL.
We spent some time again yester-
day in witnessing the examination of
the Hebrew school, and were well re-
paid for our long walk through, the
sun to the synagogue. The examina-
ton was conducted by the Rev. B. l..
Fould, and consisted of Rotations in
German and Hebrew, Reading and
Spelling. Mr.. Fould is highly edu-
Gated gentleman, and has been ex-
tremely successful in instructing the
Hebrew children of the city, having
labored with zeal and fidelity.
All the classes read very fuently
and intellectually, and in Spelling
very few mistakes were made. Indeed
we have witnessed very few examina-
tons more satisfactory. Two little
girls who commenced German only
last October read with remarkable
fuency, and were scarcely corrected
once in their pronunciation, although
Mr. Fould is very exacting on this
point.
Several declarations were made by
the young misses in very pleasing
manner, and some very earnest re-
marks were made by Mr. Senior Hecht
on the best method of training chill
dren. Mr.. Hecht is, we believe, to be
the. successor of Mr. Fould, who, we
regret to learn, is about to give up the
charge of the congregation and school.
The superintendent, Mr.. John Vile,
and the trustees, Messrs. Louis Kohn
and Simon Rosser, have been present
