HIGH SCHOOL.


HIGH SCHOOL.
We were mortified yesterday, that
by a Misunderstanding we did not
give our readers a report of the High
School Examination. which too&
place on Monday.
The exercises consisted of examina-
tons of the four classes of the school.
REGULATIONS were made in Arithmetic,
Algebra, Philosophy and German, in
tho morning; and Astronomy. Eng
lish Grammar, Ancient History,
Chemistry aud Geometry in the after
noon. With the exception of some
pupils of the first years class" the
school acquitted itself with honor.
In addition to those studies, the
school was prepared to make recita-
tions in Virgil, Latin Reader, Ad-
vanced German, Universal History,
Algebra, Physical Geography and
Rhetoric.
The following report is taken from
the printed circular:

PREPARATORY SCHOOLS.
This grade consists of two schools.
taught by Miss Goulding and Miss
Roberts. AS they were to be exam
ined in the same studies, they both
occupied the High School room for
the occasion and alternated the
classes. Each teacher examined her
pupils in geography, reading, mental
arithmetic, written arithmetic and
grammar. Mr.. Shultz examined the
classes of the two schools together in
German. Mr.. Tinker enlivcned the
exercises by vocal music from the
whole, given between the Rotations.
1t was gratifying to observe the
promptness and accuracy generally
exhibited by the pupils. With very
few exceptions they did themselves
and their teachers great credit.
There have been thirteen written
examinations of this grade by the
Superintendent. At the close the
teachers read the average scholarship
Of each pupil. and the average stand
ing of the school. Miss Goulding' g
average is 81 $40; Miss Roberts
70 80.
We were exceedingly gratifed with
the musical training of the pupils.
The introduction of vocal music as a
regular branch Of school training is
now proved to be a wise measure
The teacher, Mr. Tinker, may be con-
graduated on the good he has accom-
plished and is working.
Superintendent Cow was present
during the exercises, and closely fol
lowed the Rotations. He asked
many questions not given in the les
sons, and received prompt answers
from the pupils. At the close he
made short address, complimentary
both to the teachers and the pupils.
William T. Igleheart. who was also
present, followed Professor Cow, in a
like address, and expressed his ap.
probation at the highly satisfactory
examination that he had listened to-
