School ExAM1NAT1oN.-The ex-

the 18th Primary, the Misses Wack
teachers. 1t is scarce worth while to
speak of the school in detail, as it is
well known to be one of the best con-
Quoted Primary schools in the city.
The scholars are under excellent con
troll, and have made good use of the
time since the last semi-annual exam
nation 1t is not expected that perfec-
ton will be attained in all the classes
in the schools Of this grade, but I'M
questionably these young ladies have
succeeded most admirably, particu-
larly in correcting a fault but too
common in the Primary Schools. viz:
the partially inaudible and inarticu-
late pronunciation of words.
We regret that we are unable to
give the Roll of Honor of this
school. The ladies prepared it, but
by some means it did not reach us.
TENTH PRIMARY.
This school is taught in
small room in the High School
building. The scholars are small,
which is eminently fit and pro-
per, else the teacher, Miss McFar-
land, would scarce find room for her
charge. Forty -seven little boys and
girls are packed away in this little
room, and the great wonder is that
they do not fail altogether 1t has
not been the case, however, as the
examination was fully up to the
standard of the last season for
the most part, and in some particulars
it excelled the former. The order of
the school evinces a commendable
degree of labor and patience on the
part of the teacher.
Roll OF HoNoR.-Not absent the
first Qucrter-Mary Murphy, Mary
and Henry Bower.
Not absent the second Quarter
becca Bull, Annola Kennedy, Katy
Kavanaugh, Bridget Kavanaugh, Isa-
adore Mason, Lucy McFadden, Jen-
ME Parker.
Not absent during the Year Maggie
Bull, Sophia Boluss, Maggie Fix, Ma
ry Kennedy, Joanna Kavanaugh, John
Hedderich, John Marck, Willie Rein
hardt.
SIXTH PRIMARY.
In this school are registered one
hundred and twenty six scholars,
under charge of Miss Warren as
Principal, assisted by Miss Pittman
Taken as whole, the examination
was satisfactory, but in some of the
classes there were glaring faults,
which it would seem could be easily
cemedied. A portion of the scholars
IN several of the classes spoke so low
that it was difficult to hear them,
while others did not articulate plainly,
1ne of the greatest faults in our judg-
ment in the Primary Schools. But,
by far the greater part of the scholars
acquitted themselves creditably. We
do not make mention of this in a
spirit of fault finding, but simply with
a view Of calling attention to what
we consider a great fault in the
schools of this grade.
Roll OF HONOR. = Not absent
during the halfyear-Henry Huff,
Henry Beggerman and Fritz Begger-
man.
Not absent or tardy during the half
Scott, Jake Koon, Char
ley Fritz, Jimmie Harrison, Henry
Moot, William Fritz.
At the close of the examination a
book, furnished by Capt. Hart, was
awarded to John Bayless for having
proven to be the best scholar in
school.
SEVENTH PRIMARY.
A more pleasant and interesting
school would be hard to find than is the
Seventh Primary, taught by Miss
Forsyth, and assisted by Miss Rahm.
One hundred and thirty-one little
girls attend this school, and have in
deed made good use of school hours.
A noticeable feature of this school is
the distinctness of enunciation on
the part of the scholars, and an appa-
rent confidence in themselves, giving
evidence that they fully
understand what they are doing, and
the Importance of it. One or two Of
the classes possessed hesitating
manner, but aside from that, but little
fault could no found with the exami-
