CoLoRKD SCHOOL ExAMINATIoNs.-Four col
ored schools-Grammar, No. 1; intermediate,
Nos. and 8, and Secondary, No. 4-were ex-
ann at the building corner Of 9Th
ers, in presence of Superintendent Cook, Trus-
tees Syphax, Jones, and King, and large num-
Der OF parents Of the pupils. The examinations
schools in that the teachers themselves conduct
the entire examination, the Superintendent oc-
casionally asking questions.
The Grammar School, under the tuition of
Mrs. NJ. b. Briggs, consisting of forty pupils.
who were all present but one, passed q very
creditable examination. In consideration Of
the opportunities these pupils have had for Civ
ing their attention to study, it is gratifying to
hear their ready answers to difficult questions.
The teacher seems quite devoted to the import
eneeS su pf hs n sga the fact tina,
GENTLY advanced to be promoted to a School or
higher grade is good evidence of her fitness for
her position. The branches in which the pupils
were examined were grammar, reading, alge-
bra, mental and practical arithmetic, geogra-
ply, and physiology, in most of which consider
able proficiency was manifested. In arithmetic
and algebra some of these pupils are advancing
rapidly. At the conclusion Of the exercises,
Mr.. Aly0rd, OF the Freedmen's Bureau; Rev.
A. Bowen, John II. Brooks, S. A. Douglass Rev.
James Reed, Perry Rider, Mr.. Oliver, from
Richmond, and the Trustees made encouraging
remarks to the scholars. and COMMUNICATED the
teacher on the fruits of her labors, which were
SO APPARENT to all.
Ne. 2 intermediate, Mrs. s. 1. Fleetwood
teacher. has forty pupils, who passed q very
creditable examination in reading, spelling
geography and arithmetic. number of these
children are to be transferred TO higher grade.
No. intermediate, Mrs.C.W. Groves teacher,
in the same building, also showed that the
teacher is fully competent for the duties of her
station. This school is composed Of fifty schol-
ars, and a fair number are to be transferred to
No. 4 Secondary. Mrs. s. j. Brooks teacher,
was also examined yesterday by the teacher.
These are younger class Of pupils but passed
a pretty thorough examination, with consider
able credit to themselves and the teacher.
The thought suggested itself during these ex-
aminati0ns whether it would not be better tor
the trustees, or some persons they might desig-
nate, to put the qusti0ns, and let the teachers
OF the schools be merely spectators of the exer-
cises. The school building is well fitted for its
purposes, and in every way more desirable than
many Of the miserable huts occupied by the
white schools. On the present occasion the
floral display in the shape of wreaths and boz
quets was very tasteful in all the rooms, and
many beautiful boquets were presented to the
superintendent and trustees at the termination
of the exercises.
The COLOR QUESTION ON GOVERNMENT
WoRK.-A mass meeting OF citizens of the Sew
enth Ward was held last evening at Wesley

mortal to the United States Senate and House
Of Representative, asking q share in public
work under the Superintendent of Public Build
ings, for colored men, was read, and a resolu-
ton adopted asking of Congress to cause its
agents to make no determination on account of
color In the distribution OF Government work.
