PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

The thirteen schools OF this depart
ment were examined = one-half Of
them in the forenoon and One-half IN
he afternoou-by which arrangement
double the usual time was given to
each school. Owing to the number,
it viii of course be impossible TO-
speak OF each in detail.
Notwithstanding the excessive heat
of the day, the number of visitors
was. as large as usual in ell the rooms,
and the pupils maintained a marked
degree of elasticity of spirits to the
close. The exercises consisted Of the
reading, spelling. definitions, nun
bers. music, writing, and printing on
the slate, brief compositions, selected
Rotations, &c. 0wingfo the variety OF
the exercises. IN some of the schools,
not so much tine was occupied in
reading and spelling as was devoted
to these last year, but during the year
the matter of definitions and sentences
has been added to the reading and
spelling exercise, which had added
greatly to the interest. developed the
use Of language, and given the pupils
a more intelligent comprehension of
their studies. Within proper limits,
it is a decided step forward in primary
instruction A greatimproYement has
been made the past year in the use of
the blackboard and the slate and pen
Gil, both in numbers and IN printing
and writing. The Compositions and
selected r%ecitations added much to the
interest of the exercise
The examination in music was
necessarily brief, but it established
the fact that the principles of music
had been successfully taught to this
lowest or youngest grade of the
Schools. The parents and visitors
present were quite unanimous IN ap-
proving the action of the Board of
Trustees in the introduction of mu-
steal instruction, and cordial in com
mending Prof. Tinker's success.
