instructions of Professor W. d. Heyer tusti-
ned the patronage and support received
from Its advocate and firm friend, Dr. f.
Goldmann, then director and chairman of
committee on teachers. The pencil sketches
OF Master O. jacob appeared advanta-
geously in the collection exhibited at the
late state fair, and increased no little the
reputation of the SCHOOL, The crayon
sketch by the same young genius jacob was
much praised yesterday, as were also those
OF Julius and Robert 0platek, and of Willie
Stith.
There are two literary societies organized
by these pupils-one of them the ''Hum.
boldt'-and some cleverly written produc-
tions were exhibited by their members.
The chirography of that by Julius Oplatek
was gem. Professor Lambert has charge
OF the French language in this school.
Girls High school-First and Fourth
District.
This is kept in building owned by the
city in a delightful locality on Chestnut
street, near jackson. The main room, in
which the exhibition took place from five
till near eight P. NJ. yesterday, is fifty by
fifty feet in size and was beautifully fes-
tooned with evergreens, moss, and flowers
from centre to circumference. The better
class of the old citizens were present
in good numbers, for they take great
pride in this school. having watched its
pupils grow up from their a B C's into their
present greatly advanced stage of learning
when they have more than fulfilled the ex,
pectatiOns of all.
The following are the teachers in this
high school, viz Miss 7. Pearson, princi-
pal and Mrs. L. Matthews, Miss Hannah
Seymour, Miss E. Armstrong, and Miss Z
Watkins, associates, and Mr.. E. Vulliet,
music teacher. There are l3i pupils in at
tendance; a of them are in the junior class,
and their principal says they are a credit
not only to themselves but to the school.
The senior class was equally well spoken of;
the department of the whole school being
good, with spirit Of emulation pervading
the pupils. Of the programme of exercises
yesterday it would seem tame
10 speak, after the yivacious criticisms
of one of the young ladies themselves, who
was appointed for that purpose. Suffice it
tor us to say, therefore, that the greatest
taste and chasteness peryaded all the com.
positions read, the subjects and treatment
thereof being such as gentle, well educated
females alone will write. One in French
was particularly well chosen and treated
upon education. One in English upon our
ancestors was equally well treated. Another,
| upon clouds and sunshine, was eXcelently
read. And still another entitled Live til
| tomorrow will have passed away" is worthy
of publication, and if possible it shall be
done.
OF the recitations, there were many very
good, that fine piece, THE Fate of Virginia
being II splendid delivery, with great self
| possession and full, strong voice and those
sweet words of Whittier, MAUD Muller
wee given with the most graceful speci
men OF stage action. The French dialogues
are generally pleasing, and those of yester
day were particularly so. The music ol
piano and voice were charming, and the
only drawback to the pleasure Of the even
| leg was the boorish conduct of a number Of
boys who choked up the windows and were
| generally turbulent, noisy, and ill-bred
| during the exercises. II is to be hoped thai
the good training of the public schools may
! improve the manners of those that are no
too old to learn. If not, they should be de
MED the privilege of attending the eXami
nations at girls schools. 1t is a question Q
order or disorder, and if order cannot b
obtained otherwise, permit none to ente
except orderly invited guests. Let us loo
forward to still brighter future, and
still more glorious results.
