GRAMMAR scHooLs.

Glasses were heard in geography,
grammar, arithmetic. reading, spell
ing and definitions, German and mu-
sic.
From the brief t.me we were able
to spend in each room. We are unable,
if our space would permit, to give a
detailed account Of each exercise. As
far as we could see, and from what wo
gather from others, the exercises
passed off with great credit to all con-
cerned. The only criticism We can
make is that ia one or two instances
there was a little rudeness at recess,
which we would caution the boys
against. Possibly the excitement of
the occasion may be the reason the
boys forgot themselves somewhat.
The number Of visitors in each
school-room shows that the parents
are alivo to their children's interests.
We are glad so many we're out, and
bespeak full houses tomorrow in
the First and Second intermediate
Schools.

EXAMINATION AT THE JEWISH
SoHooL.-The examination at the
Jewish School yesterday was con-
Quoted by Prof. j. W. Knight, the
English teacher, and Rev. Simon
Hecht, German teacher, under the
superintendent of Messrs. John
We'll, Superintendent, and L. Kauf-
man and Hiram Klotz, Supervising
Committee.
The school, which consists of 132
scholars, has an average of 125 in at
tendance daily.
The examination was in English,
German and Hebrew, in the first two
of which the scholars seemed to be
nearly equally proficient, the differ
ence being in favor of English.
When it is considered that the
scholars are all the children of Ger
man parents, it may be thought lit
tie strange that they should be more
familiar with English than German.
Such, however, is the fact, and it goes
to show that the Jews, as a class.
Americanize more readily than most
other foreigners.
In the examination another fact
was apparent, viz: that the girls were
generally better German scholars
than the boys, without falling behind
them in English, their pronunciation
being generally excellent in both Ian
gusges, while the pronunciation of
German by the boys was decidedly
American.
The examination as a whole re-
fleets great credit on the teachers, es-
