sCHnOL EXAMINATIONS.

the fact that this school, under the in
struction of Miss Bullard, assisted By
Miss Mclean, had lost nothing Of its
former deservedly high reputation.
The pupils presented a very cheerful
and intelligent spirit, and the recita-
tons were marked By more than the
usual promptness and distinctness ex-
hibited in the other schools of the
same grade. While the classes gene
rally acquit. ed themselves quite cred
itably, they were not entirely free from
criticism.
The first class examined in the fore
noon the Fourth Reading and
Spelling, apparently lacked the
fanimation manifested By the other
classes. and there were a number Of
errors in spelling and definition. The
Second Glass In Arithmetic passed a
pretty fair examination, but it was not
as perfect as it should have been in
notation some o. the pupils also were
rather too slow in their solutions.
The Third Glass in Geography did
very well, indeed. The First Glass IN
Arithmetic passed a very good exam
ination, and but for very few imper-
feet pupils, would have been above
criticism. The Second Glass in Gram
mar did finely, but some Of the schol-
ars allowed themselves to be discon-
certed by the questioning of the
Superintendent The recitation in
Physiology was quite interesting, and
demonstrated that the Glass had
acquired an Ineligible comprehen-
sion of this practical and useful study.
AFTEBNooN-The first class ex-
ahmed in the afternoon was the
Third Reading and Spelling. The
reading was excellent. The girls
spoke in clear, distinct tones, and
their emphasis and pronunciation
were equally good. The visitors,
while listening to the reading, under
stood the composition and did not
have to guess at the meaning of its
author. The Fourth Glass in Arith-
.metie answered the questions very
well. There was some Little blunder-
ing in writing given numbers, but not
more than is usual in classes Of its
size. The First Glass in Grammar
manifested improvement The girls
appeared to have a pretty thorough
knowledge Of the principles Of
Grammar, and their appliea
ton to the language they speak
aud write. The Second Glass in
/ Geography did not come mp to the
public expectation, based upon the
recitatiens of the other classes. The
girls seemed to be confused and en-
barrassed, and missed questions that
I they certainly, in cooler moments,
could readily have answered. The
class IN German reeited we'll. The
pronunciation was seldom wrong.
The TRANSACTIONS were generally. cor
rect. The written exercises were
very generally approved by the teach
er. The exercise in singing, con-
Quoted by Professor Tinker, was
very entertaining. The introduction
of music in the schools as a study,
cannot be otherwise than beneficial
to the pupils. The department of
the scholars, was excellent, much
better than at the last examination.
