Yesterday the examinations Of the eolored
schools were continued by Rev. John Kim l..

In this department, and NJ. T.. Newton, super
intendent Of the schools of the American Freed

On leaving Miss Browns school in Galbraith
Chapel, they proceeded to the basement of the
Baptist church, corner of Fourth and l.. and
examined the school supported by the Penn
sylvania branch of the Freedmen's Commits

The school is one Of the primary grade, and
n numbers 81 on the roll, of whom SO were pres
ent, divided into three cIasses-tw in the first
reader, and one in the primer. The ages Of the
pupils range from six TO ten, with one or two
Older; and in the studies the examination was
good, particularly IN mental arithmetic, and
the promptness with which the answers were
given was somewhat surprising. Although
the pupils are just about the ages to be diff ult
to keep in order, the behavior was excellent.
The school is held in the basement of the
church, and W lille 1t is sufficiently large for
school purposes, there is not enough Of light
Rev ID. p. Jones, coIoreo, and a few of the
parents OF the pupils were present during th he
examination, and expressed their appreciation
at the success OF the examination. This is the

by Mrs. q. Baldwin, and supported by the New
York branch of the kreedmen's Commission,
was examined. There are 90 names on the
roll OF this school, and rs pupils were present.

appears TO be considerable energy displayed by
the teacher, there seems to be some lack of sys-

being too large TOR management of one teacher
The examination was only fair one, but there
were some pupils very well up in their studies
and one little seven year old, called Johnny,
seemed to be prodigy in geography.
The second school in the same building and
supported by the same association is an in

boys did not miss spelling single word, al
though the most difficult In the book were
propOunded. They were also well up in
arithmetic and dictation; but the reading was
only ordinary
A feature in this school was the recitations
in con cert OF selections Of Psalms, &c. There
was good attendance of the parents, who
seemed to take much interest in the exercises,
and at the close Messrs. kimbalI and Newton
addressed the pupils, congratulating them ON

merely nominaI price, for the stock is at pres.
ent worth comparatively nothing. having sold
at the last recorded sale at between two and
three dollars snare.
