SCHOOL, EXAMINATIONS

Principal, and Miss EMMA Conn,
Assistant, occupied the whole of yes
terday with its examinations. The
number registered for the term
so; the number present so.
There was a goodly number
of visitors present. but not ) so
many as at the other schools Every
parent who cares for the welfare and
advancement of his children, should
show enough interest in their studies
to attend these examinations. It is
great incentive and encouragement to
scholars. This school passed good
examination last year, and is regarded
as one of the best of the Public sys-
tenn. but it did not do itself justice
yesterday, was the concession of
teachers and visitors. In geo
graphy the classes did exceed
ingly well, but this was the only tudy
in which the recitations we're entirely
satisfactory The classes in gram
mar acquitted themselves cred
itably in most instances, but
they made some complete failures in
answering the questions of the Super
iutendent. In arithmetic, both men
tai and Rays, the answers were gen.
orally given. correctly, but with
hesitation and doubt; and the same
faultwas apparent in physiology. The
first class in reading did fairly, but he
rest of the classes were decidedly be-
low the proper standard of excellence.
There was one glaring error in all,
including the first class-a faulty pro-
nunciation, sometimes of the more
common words. There was also
careless manner evinced, the omission
of words and the substitution of 9TH
ers not in the text. There was per-
vading the Rotations and the entire
exercises, a want of animation aud in
terest, which had a depressing effect
upon the examination. Some lively.
soif-inspiriting music would have ma.
terially improved it, and made bet
ter impression on the visitors. The
gymnastic exercises, which were very
good, were the only variety which at
all stirred up the pupils. The Excess
sive heat doubtless added somewhat
to the listlessness and general deprcs-
sion. The department was very good,
and we are satisfied the school has
made material progress during the
year. The lengthy Roll of Honor
bears substantial evidence of faithful
ness on the part Of teachers and
scholars.
