f. FIRST 'PRIMARY.-The annual ex-.
animation of the Public Schools was
resumed yesterday morning with the
First Primary, located in the upper
school building, taught by Miss
McJ oHNsToN, principal. and Miss.
MCLEAN, assistant. The number Of
scholars in attendance is los girls
The room was tastefully decorated
with flags and flowers. every desk
having beautiful bouquet and min
iature American flag, which. with the
bright eyes. and smiling faces of the
little girls, presented an attractive ap-
pearance. We will not have space to
specify in detail the result of the exam
ination. The reading exercises, to which
additional attention has been paid in
the primary schools the past year
were in most of the classes quite
good, but owing to. the low, tone of
voice and indistipctness Of utterance
on thespa of some of the pupils, was
not as satisfactory at it must other
wise have been. The classes acquit-
ted themselves well in spelling The
first class didsnot pass quite as good
an examination in mental arithmetic
as we would have been glad to have
heard but altogether. the school
showed commendable progress. The.
following is the
