The GRAMMAR SCHOOLS. examination
Grammar department of the North School)
took place yesterday forenoon. Considerable
interest was felt in the exercises by the parents,
AID there was quite au attt nd lnce of specta
tors. The recitations were very satisfactory,
and the classes compared favorably with those
of last year. At the Center Grammar School
the scholars gave some fine vocal music, and
the teachers received some very pretty tokens
of esteem from the pupils. At the Bracket
street school there was also some good vocal
and instrumental music.
We desire to mention some pleasant features
in the last named school, not in the way of
comparison between it and others, but because
we hope to see them become general in our
schools, enlivening school-life, and by the cul-
tivation of the esthetic part of our children's
natures, increase the love of knowledge by
making the school room the pleasantest place
in week day life next to home. The fine speci-
mems of map-drawing upon the black boards
showed a remarkable degree of proficiency in
drawing. The walls OF the school and recita-
ton rooms are hung with elegant engravings,
which are to add to their own enjoyment and
that of the scholars who are to succeed them.
Within year or two the pupils have purchas-
ed good piano, paid for by their voluntary
contributions and the proceeds of entertain
ments given in the school room, and vocal and
instrumental music is part of the daily exer-
cises. A well-selected library of between 500
and 600 volumes has been gathered, and it is
to be m ade more available to the scholars. The
rooms westerly were lavishly ornamented with
flowers. Elegant boquets stood upon the
tables and wndow-seats, and the walls were
hung with garlands of leaves and branches of
evergreen. One recitation room looked like a
bright conservatory, so liberal was the decora-
ton, aud the other exhibited the excellent
taste of teachers and pupils in disposing of the
wreath of flowers aud buds so generously con-
tribnted. 81 ~
The statistics of the schools are as follows.

tor the simple reason that many Very good in
situations happened to be inaugurated during
the years III and 1921. In the city of Boston
few weeks since, the association of the AL

the humber of some twelve hundred, in old
Faneuii Hall, (every class since 1921 being
largely represeuted), aud a procession, Grafton
and poem, with the unwilling of a marble bust
in Music Hall, of Master Sherwin, the Oldest
teacher in service.
Now it so happens that this is the semi-cen-
tennial anniversary year OF the establishment
of our Portland High School, for on Monday,
October first, 1921, this popular cchool was put
into operation under the tuition of Master
Joseph Libby, who still lives among us re
spected and loved, at a hale old age.
The expediency of the forms ton of an Asso-
citation Of the Alumni of the Portland High
School has been discussed in private circles for
year or two past, and a very large number of
the Alumni, including particularly the fairer
pOrtion,-the Alumnae-have expressed the de
sire that some movement should be made at
once to organize such an association, believing
that it would not only be promOtive of great
