GRAMMAR SCHOOLS
/ The examination yesterday was con
fined to the Grammar Schools in the
lower building, taught by Dir. Peck
and Miss Billiard. 1t affords US pleas
urs to speak IN terms Of commenda-
ton Of the Improvement in these. as
in the schools in the upper building.
Some of the classes were unusually
proficient, among which we cannot re
frain from mentioning Mr. Peck's
First Glass in Arithmetic. The boys
composing this class solved all
kinds of sums ia Fractions
with rapidly, correctness, uni
Itormity aud neatness that we never
saw surpassed. Miss Billiards. Gran
mar classes also did we'll, and We
Heard much praise bestowed apon
her second class in reading.
1t was a matter for regret that the
classes in both these schools are very
small, pot near SO large as those in
the upper building. Mr.. Peck's
school has only ffy-fve scholars
registered. Miss Ballard only sixty
one. The average attendance is good.
In Miss Billiards. school, out of the
sixty-one scholars registered forty-one
have not been tardy during the half
year-a regularity and promptness
that is exceedingly creditable to the
girls. and one of the secrets Of their
success in their studies.
The attendance yesterday on the
part of the visitors was very good,
though many parents were absent who
ought to have been present.
