Gently moved to the city and have not
long had the advantages of our excel
lent schools. In addition to the usual
studies of spelling and reading, as
taught in all our primary schools, the
first class in this school has been ex-
ercised, 20 some extent, in mental
arithmetic, in which they manifested
a good degree of proficiency, and also
in local geography. Upon the ques-
ton being put, Which is the most
important city in the State of Indi-
ana?" one little urchin, scarcely as
high as his'desk, promptly and conf
GENTLY replied, Evansville" There
was some excellent music in this
school. Many spectators were present,
and all seemed highly pleased with
the Examination.

O. In small room of this same build
ing we found clustered together So
little boys and girls, whose united
ages would scarce exceed 348 years,
which, on the rolls, are denominated
the
EIGHTH PRIMARY
School, of which Miss Kate Dudgeon
is sole teacher. The scholars are
packed into this small room so close
ly that, in the suggestive language of
Judge Iglehart, they cannot breath
unless they all breath at once. New
ertheless, when they were brought
out into the larger room class by
class for examination they manifested
degree of careful training and prof
cheney in their studies that spoke vol
umes in commentator of the patience
and assiduity of their teacher. This
is the A, B, c Brigade, and was the
most interes sting school examined yes
terday. The first class read well, and
all the classes did credit to themselves
and their teacher The juvenile class
might appropriately be denominated
the infdntry arm of the A, B, e.,
Brigade, of which twenty-seven
were present and accounted for"
They have all mastered the letters,
and many of them can spell words off
the book, and few can read easy
lessons. The examination was short,
but highly satisfactory to the Super
intendent and spectators, and highly
complimentary to the teacher. This
school also sung finely
The examinations will be resumed
at nine o'clock this morning with the
Eleventh Primary-Miss Wack, prin-
cipal at the upper end of Main
Street; and the Tenth Primary, in
the basement of the High School
building, and the Sixth and Seventh,
in the Park School house, will also
be examined to-day.
1t is a matter of congratulation that
such care and pains are taken by the
Superintendent to secure good teach
ers for the Primary Schools, and thus
far we think he has been eminently
successful. There is, however, an
urgent necessity for better accommo-
dations for these schools, and we hope
a new house Of good capacity viii be
ready to receive them BY the opening
Of the next school year.
