TIL E HIGH SCHOOL EX T1ON

The whole of yesterday was devoted to the
examination of the four high schOols-one
in Jefferson Sixth District; the Upper
Girls, on Chestnut street, between Phillip
and First; the Lower Girls, near Elysian
Fields street, and the Central Boys, 80 Bur
gundy street. The first visited by Superin.
tendent Carter (who was accompanied BY
Acting Mayor. Emiey) was the
Sixth District Girls High School.
We did not see the schoolhouse, as the
examination was held in the new Methodist
church, on the corner of Coliseum and Cad!z
streets. We learned, however. that the
building provided by the late authorities of
Jefferson is q small One.stOry structure,
containing only three rooms. The change
to the church was rather drawback to the
exercises, as the strangeness of the place and
the audience together, had chilling effect
upon them. There are forty-two pupils on
the roll, under the charge of the following
teachers: Miss Emma S. Rossner, principal I;
Miss Mary l.. Moody, assistant; Mrs. NJ. A.
Landry, French teacher.
We heard the Senior Glass in reading ex.
ercises, and was well pleased with the re-
suit. They have evidently had careful and
intelligent instruction, and profited ~ it.
