corps Of assistants, have light task in leading
all these young people through the paths Of know
ledge.
We have attended, whenever possible, during
years gone by, the examinations in the public
schools, and we can certainly say that seldom, if
ever have we been more pleased, than while wit
Messing the display of talent shown by the pupils
of this school, From the room of the principal
and through intermediate rooms to that one
crowded with over hundred of little scholars, the
same anxious care, intelligent instruction and
supervision was observable.
After most satisfactory evidence that the de-
partments below that one, receiving the espe
cal care Of the principal, attended to in the
manner to be anticipated, we again visited Mrs.
Sheean's room and found the young ladies, as
sisted by their fellow pupils of the two other de-
partments, singing some pretty and appropriate
songs with more success than usually attend
such performances.
The arithmetic class in this room was then exam
med by Mr.. W. 0. Rogers superintendent, at
their special request Though the hour was late,
Mr.. Rogers, who never tires in the discharge OF
duty, entered into the examination with his usual
zeal. Our esteemed citizen and school director,
Mr.. Newton Richards, was also present.
After the exa ninatiou Mr.. Rogers compiimented
the pupils very highly, a compliment which both
the young ladies and their teacher might well ap-
preciate, coming from that source
The singing ana music during the closing hour
of the exercises directed by one Of the scholars,
and executed only by the pupils, was most
pleasing feature of the proceedings.
| The following are the teachers in this school
Principal, Mrs. Annie sheean assistants, Mrs. NJ
| n Watta Mice M
Z. Kennedy and Miss f. Brugniens.
The Rampant Street Girls School, presided over
by Mrs. Dubois one of the most experienced and
accomplished teachers in the city, was visited by
Superintendent Rogers, several school directors,
and many representatives Of the press.
When we went to visit this school, we expected
that fair showing, and no more, would be made
by the pupils. because Mrs. Dubois has had charge
but few months. We were aware, from
careful observation in old times, that Mrs
Dubois was one of those principals that
could hardly be excelled, where time
and fair opportunity was given; but we must
confess that we were somewhat unprepared for
the really excellent display made by the scholars
Mr.. Rogers and DR.. Goldman, whose Jealous
and intelligent efforts in behalf of the public
schools deserves high praise, were present. and
personally examined a number of the classes
Of this school, and the result gave
thorough satisfaction to these gentlemen
After the exercises in spelling, geography, gram
mer, arithmetic and French quite q number o.
the pupils were called upon to show their pro
6ciency in singing and recitation. In the former
pathetic and expressive Southern songs were suns
with feeling and pathos that could not b.
| expected from any except those Il
the manor born. The recitations, we can conf
IDENTIFY say, could not be surpassed by any schoo
outside of the Crescent City. The inimitable grac
and gesture of the creole girls, the earnest, bu
: subdued, delivery Of the children of Teutoni
origin, the impulsive and warm-hearted name
r of the pupils whose Cello nature was apparen
, was each entirely admirable.
The very excellent teachers of the school are
Mrs NJ @. Dubois, prime ipal assistants, Mrs. +
l Hooper, Miss ]. E. Schierman, Miss N. V. Sarrar
Miss e. Levilleux, Miss E. Mccarthy; Frenc
teacher, Miss NJ. v. Sarran.
We much regretted not being able to atten
other schools during the past week, for we are as
sured by directors and visitors that all of them de
} served unstinted encomium.
