SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

amined yesterday forenoon. The
number registered is III. The Read
ing classes read with facility, but a
little too hurriedly and indistinctly.
There were too many mistakes IN
spelling to call the classes perfect.
In geography the pupils. proved them
selves we'll posted, aud the Superln@
tendent was not able to confuse them
by his searching Questioning. In
mental arithmetic the questions were
promptly solved, and with but few
errors Altogether, the Rotations
were very good. and the school clear
ly deserved the compliment which Su-
perintendent BUTTERFIELD paid them,
of having made great improvements
both in department and scholarship,
since the last semi annual examina
ton. at which time he felt called
upon to administer severe re-
proof. The singing of the
school was very good, and the
pupils in their bearing and recita-
ticns partook of the promptness and
animation of their. Instructors. We

ers, evergreens, and flags, and to-
little girls looked charming in their
holiday attire. In Geography, Rays
and Mental Arithmetic! the classes
did well; the first class IN Mental was
worthy of notice for its.
prompt and uniformly correct an
swers. There were more mistakes in

tions, but they were not numerous.
The classes in reading did very well.
In the first and third classes, there |
we're few scholars who were below
the usual high standard of excellence
Of the school, but their defects were
not sufficient to prevent the award
being made to this school over the
others of the intermediate grades for
he best reading. The singing was very
we'll done; and the calisthenic exer-
rises gave pleasing variety to the pro-
yramme. The whole examination was
