The CLOSING EXERCISES OF THE SENIOR CLASS
| OF THE FIRST AND FOURTH DISTRICTS GIRLS
! HIGH scHooL.--If there was yet lacking some
fact, some occurrence TO demonstrate to any one
interested in educational matters how complete is
the system OF instruction in vogue In the public
schools of this city, how thoroughly the pupils
taught what their tutors profess to teach them
| and how entirely they master the tasks set them,
visit yesterday to the pleasantly situated school
on Chestnut street would have furnished ample
| demonstration of the almost perfection of the
| public schools ofNew Orleans In respect 10 all the
| above particulars.
Last spring, some Of our readers may remem-
Der, the senior class Of the Fourth District Girls
| High School. gave some public exercises which
| were exceedingly creditable to them, and which,
| at the time, elected our hearty and sincere com.
mendation. Yesterday this same class, having
completed the prescribed curriculum Of studies,
and being just on the eve of leaving schooltor
ever presented to their friends and schoomates
q most sweet bouquet of the flowers OF literatu 70
and science which they have in their school
girl existence collected. The occasion was
| enc of exceeding pleasure TO all whose good
star led them to the school house, and We
| are cure that the enjoyment thus created
| nv their Efforts was reflected in the
hearts Of the young ladies themselves. True,
| il was their fsrewell.taking. Good bye had TO be
| said. But who ever knew a school girl TO look
through any but rOseat hued spectsclesy Who
ever heard Of one that was not secretly half rla
| that school was overl And SO these young ladies',
though really saddened by the thought of separa.
| tion from teachers and schoolmates vet were
looking forward half eagerly and half trembliDgly
TO the new life upon which they were about 10
enter, were seeing too the happy faces OF father
their observation-disclosures. and found 10 the whole
dav a sweet sadness that will. we Imagine. make
