Regina Adolph, aged only eight years, who per-
sistently holds the head Of the frat class. She Is
a child of much promise, whom we hope to see
sgain in coming years. The lower departments
are well sustained under the Misses NJ. l.. Gaule-
nous, NJ. Paul, @. M. MeQaaid, Jos. Gyoux and

cations TO Mr.. George Croaan, who volunteered
to pilot us through various winding ways to the

MryJ. B. Sorapsru, principal, who also has

taught in the intermediate schools. The exer-
cses in grammar were very full aud complete
in every detail, which evinced the thorough
knowledge which the pupils have acquired
OF the rules which govern the languages.

THE BAYOU ROAD GIRLS SCHOOL
Is a model of the public school system, and the
very eminently qualified lady who presides as
principal over the studies and moral training of
the pupils committed TO her care, is a very para
gon OF what teacher should be. She has been
identified with, and taught the principal schools
of the city. She is at present insructDg the Sec
ond generation, having taught some of the moth
s'of her present pupils, and yet she is compar-
itvely neglected-the rooms are, to say the least,
entirely unsuited for instruction. being too small
badly ventilated, and uncomfortable for teachers
and scholars. o, for tongue TO bless the man
who could rise above radical corruption and re-
deem our city money from brokers and the gas
works, TO build such schools as are needed here.
But under all the disadvantages, she has a bright
little army of learners, among whom we noticed
Mary Mccullough, who declaimed so feeIingly
that she won the last rose from our button-hole;
and composition by Miss +. Edwards, ia worthy
o. all praise. The rooms were so filed with visitors
that we were unable TO gain an entrance to the
other departments but the success of Mrs. BigOt
as principal, is enough TO guarantee that her as
sistants are ladies Of no ordinary attainments.
Two hundred pupils are on the roll Of this school
and regular attendance OF all the scholars has
continued to the present.

Mrs. 4. Mathey, principal is in a very flourish

on the l4th Of October last, with only few pu.

children in regular attendance, and some Of the
pupils are able to show q high character in
scholarship. We heard a very well read dialogue
Of a British officer and an American hostess
which could not be excelled by any children OF
any country, and we take it as testimony of the
great interest which Prof. Dmitry has maintained
for the colored schools. We met him at the Du-
main Street Colored School for Boys aud
Girls, where he examined the pupils very
carefully, and expressed his unbounded
appreciation of their progress under the present

We neglected to notice yesterday the decora-
tons in Mrs. Fishers room at the Jackson Boys
School, particularly the simple motto over the
teachers chair, which evinced her knowledge of
Herodotus and the Great King who proclaimed:

omitted any school, we must assure the parties
concerned that we were unable to visit them for

and TO assure them of intention, at all hazards,
to witness their exercises of to-day:

In our report Of yesterday morning we mad
vertently omitted to allude TO a very pleasant
visit TO the
CLIO BoYs' AND GIRLS SCHOOL,
Which is located on Clio street, between st.
Charles a9d Prytanis, and which is under control
OF Mrs. Wharton, principal, with Misses E. MarOni,
N. Johns and II. McElligott, as assistants. Here
we listened to some defamation Of a very inter-
estiDg character by the pupils and were particu.
larly pleased with the recitation of TennysOns
poem, "The May Queen" by Misses Felicia Levy,
Mary Jones and Cementine McManus The pro-
fciency displayed at this school by the children
was remarkable, and reflects great credit upon
their instructors.
