The PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Closing Eramind-
t,ors.-The female grammar school, taught by
Miss Laura Reed, was examined under the d.
Iectlon OF Mr.. Magee, of the Board of Guar
but all were present save one, detained by fam
lily aifiiction. The room was fitted up with I'M
usual taste with hanging fower-baskets,
wreaths, canary birds, &C. The examination
was admirable, and for four hours not a 1ues-
tion was missed or an error made. The course
was thorough, but many of the most interesting
sano,.s had to be passed over, as it would take
several days to follow them through all the
STUDIES. The weather and room were intensely
hot, SO much 30 that but one of the board be-
sloes the examiner was present. Rev. Mr.:
several OF the parents and teachers were pres
emf. The exercises were interspersed with ex-
cellent music, with piano accompaniment by
the Misses Julia Moore and Ida Gibson, two of
the pupils. The school and teachers were high
Y complimented, and the school dismissed for
Z. LipscOmb, Jr., was examined yesterday bv
Mr.. Jos. Libbey, of the Board OF Guardians. in
the presence of Rev. VIM. q. Lipscomb, and
Messrs. hyde, Beall and Dunlop, of the Board,
parents and several teachers, including the for
mer teacher of the school. At the close Mr.
Libbey complimented the school for its general
proficiency, and expressed his regret that the
short time allowed-four hours-obliged him TO |
cut of several studies. The first class in arith-
metic showed remarkable proficiency and thor |
ough training. |
The distribution of premiums tomorrow will
close the school year.
