The Grammar SCHOOLS.

The Grammar schools. ts
Yesterday was occupied by the Committee
in the examination of the Grammar Schools
The morning was devoted to the girls and the
afternoon to the boys. We had the pleasure
of listening, in the morning, to a class in
Grammar and another in Reading at the
Bracket Street, and. one in Grammar, one in
Geography, and another in Reading at the
Centre Grammar. We were particularly
pleased with the reading in both these schools
1t is feature which, until late years, has been
too much neglected in schools all over the
country. The great complaint has always been
made in college exhibitions that the orators
were tame and delivered their parts as if they
were hardly conscious of the meaning of the
words. This defect arose chiefly from lack of
tuition in elocution when at school, The
young ladies yesterday morning read with
taste and feeling, enunciating their words
clearly, and, in several cases, displaying elo-
cutionary powers of no mean ability. There
were number Of gentlemen present at both
schools, delegates to the Convention, and the
scholars were consequently cross questioned
rather more thoroughly than usual, and, we
are happy to state, with honor to themselves.
The classes in geography and grammar did
themselves credit, and in several instances the
girls were asked questions hardly in the direct
line of what they had been over in the book,
which they answered correctly and in man
mer that showed that reason as well as memo
ny was at work.. Both Miss Harris of the
Bracket street and her assistants, and Miss
Chamberlain and staff Of the Centre Gram
MAJ, have achieved glorious results during the
past year. At the close of the examination at
the Centre Grammar, Mr.. Harris, Supervisor
of Schools for York county, said he had been
entertained and pleased with the examination
and considered the recitations Of high order.
He contrasted the appearance of this school,
with its girls all prettily dressed and occupy
ing comfortable apartment, with another in
small village not sixteen miles distant where
the first class in reading consisted of two girls
meanly dressed and barefooted. He hoped
the children would appreciate and feel CRATE
full for their privileges The committee consid-
cred the reading of the class very fine, and Mr..
Loring, the chairman of the committee con-
graduated the school on the standard of excel
lence it had attained, and the teachers on the
faithfdlness which had accomplished ouch re-
suits.
The statistics of the Centre Grammar are as

At the close of the examination at the Brack-
EFT street school, addresses were made by the
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Giddings,
and Messrs. Bailey, o Donoghue, Gordon and
Smaller of the committee, all expressing their
great qualification at the evident progress of
the school during the past term, and stating
that they considered the condition Of the
school rather superior even to what it was at
the close of the Spring term. Rev. Mr. Grant
(who spoke at the High School on Tuesday af-
ternoon) also made a short address to the same
effect as those of the committe, and so did
