Examinations and Promotions.
Yesterday was a gala day in. it being
public free schools Of RichHnation of the
the day set apart for the cot such of their
scholars in the press felt enough interest
parents ana frlea'their children, and had
ID tne weifaEsit the schools. The school.
Tue Clllecre in many instances decorated
nouSTe occasion, and teachers and children
,fesented themselves in Sunday attire with
4 view to making their best appearance on
| the last day of the session.
Supt. J. II. Binford, and Messrs. r. N.
Manley, Alfred Moses, VIM. English, John
Hagan, Jr., J. w. Bcveridge, and Col. j.
G. Shields, of the Board of Education, ac-
companied by several members of the city
press, met at the Central school early i'll the
morning, and started on tour of inspec-
ton. In this way the whole Of the school
were so numerous and so varied at
almost every school that it was found
| impossible, even with fast driving, TO
| visit more than half of those on the pro-
gTammc. At nearly every one there was
some special branch of instruction to which
| the teacher had paid special attention, and
| in which the scholars were particularly
proficient ; some pleasant entertainment in
the way of defamation, dialogue, or com
position prepared for the occasion a dls-
tribution Of prizes or presentation oil testl-
monials from aflectionate scholars TO faith
full teachers.
Our reporters took coplouS notes, but
owing to the crowded state Of our columns,
and the impossibillty of doing justice to all Z.
we must content ourselves on this occasion
with the general remark that the public
schools of Richmond may be confidently
rated as among the very best in the coun-
try. The Board Of Education is enterpris-
ing and full OF the spirit of improvement
the superintendent has shown himself the
man above all others in this community for
the place the teachers are, almost without
exception, faithful and Jealous; and the
scholars, white and colored, manifest a
knowledge OF what they have studied that
is truly surprising even to those who know
how carefully they have been taught.
The following pupils in the intermediate
and grammar schools have been recon-
mendcd for promotion by their respective
teachers, aud accepted by the superntcnd-
ent:
