PUBLIC SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS YESTERDAY
AFTkRNoON.-The examination Of the Female
intermediate School taught by Mrs. Edmond
ston, was conducted by the teacher under the
direction OF Mr.. Hyde, President Of the Board
Of Guardians. The mode of examination in the
Georgetown schools differs from those in Wash
examines under the direction Of q member of
the Board appointed for the purpose. The
member ascertains the entire studies the class
may have been through, and then sees that the
children are thoroughly tested on every page,
which says one Of the Board Of Guardians scan
be done more effectually by that course than
any other, and with the least consumption OF
. hundred pages, it could 60 through them ali
seriatim as we'll. The reason for this course
Is the injustice done to the children
b. str stranger; When want ..: Of familiarity
him to put the questions in such "" q
way a. to confuse and throw the pupil of his
guard, and cause HIM to miss. when, in fact,
the examiner, and this might be illustrated
readily by reversing the examination and let
the pupil become master for the time being.
Several Of the board and number Of parents
highly compliDented the school and the teacher,
and Il was richly deserved. Forty-two on the
roll, and all present but one sick. The studies
lions, grammar, mental and practical srith ,
metic and geography, interspersed with music,
and notwithstanding the absence Of the teacher
IIOm ACkness IOr large part OF tne year, And
the withdrawal Of several Of the first class
during the year, the examination was admirable
| in every respect, and the appearance and de-
pertinent Of the children prompted . stranger
present to pay the school q deserved compli-
ment. The examination lasted from two to four
O'Clock. :
Male intermediate, on Monteomeryktreet Ito
day; Female Grammar, on Prospect Hill, on
Monday; and Male Grammar, on Montgomery
street, on Tuesday. Transfers nom Mrs Ed
