SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.
INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS.


Rotations were interspersed with
compositions and vocal music.
The average scholarship of this
grade, derived from the written ex-
aminations of the Superintendent is
as follows: Miss McCalla's room,
80 rs 100; Mrs. Piummer's 81 1900;
Miss Cherry's g 65 100. This is
remarkably close contest for superb
orily, and shows the accuracy of the
grading and the uniformity Of the in
struction. We observed that the
prize card hangs in Mrs. Plummer's
room, the trophy of the last examina-
ton.
In the Second intermediate grade
the average for scholarship is as fol-
lows: Miss Woodbury's school, rs;
Miss Farralps, &c; Miss Hawley's
SO Is 100; Miss Ashley's SO g. 100;
Miss Moore's 92 There is almost too
much difference in the average stand
ing of these schools; possibly it may
be accounted for in the fact that some
of the schools suffered considerably
more from sickness than others this
Winter. Whatever is the reason, 1t
is to be hoped that the race for ex-
cellence may be more closely contest
ed. Miss Moore's room contains
the prize card"
All the rooms were handsomely
decorated with pictures and pretty
designs, which added much to their
cheerful appearance. The attendance
of visitors was very large:
The following are the pupils who
have not been absent or tardy during

During the examination at the
Jewish School yesterday, Professor
Knight spoke of the great difference
between the present mode of teaching
and the method common in his youth.
Now the teacher governs by love
and kindness: then he overawed by
his great dignity and severity of
countenance. That speech carried
the writer Of this back to the days
when he suffered under the tyranny
of pedagogue whose cardinal prin-
ciple was cruelty.
