psrtlcularly well written, and the Valedictory,

FOURTH SCHOOL DISTRICT MALE GRAMMAR
SCHoOL--This school, taught for many years 80 G
soceessfglly By Mt. =. T. THOMPSON, was ex-
10y number of gentlemen prominently identified
with educational matters. A great deal OF in
terest is always manifested in the examinations
Of this school, and there was crowded attend
ance yesterday of teachers, parents, and Dcilers.
The school was placed in the kanSis of the ex-
aniners by the teacher, and the rigid nature OF
the exaDatnation and the interest manifested in
II were Shown by the fact that it was continued
iOr seven mortal hours, most nneOnsciOna6le
drill. The boys showed the same seif-re-
liant habit OF thinking for themselves and
capability detecting the defects of a
mis- stated proposition characteristic Of Mr..
Thonrson's. pupils. No little amusement was
created by the prOmptness Of the scholars I'm this
respect; and the laugh was quite frequently
turned upon the examiners when the sOphistries
OF trap problems we're thus exposed b. the alert
ing was made y the classes in grammar and
mental arithmetic, studies in which tine school
has for years been Pre-eminent In reading the
school was fair, but We are not prepared 20 give
high praise 70 the reading in any OF our public
schools. The best composition was by II. q.
Davis; subject, " Mental and Physical Labor
and the best recitation was by 4. {. Blunt.
We gave yesterday the premium list, and i'm adj
ditiOn 70 this a medal was presented "a William
ID Brennan by his schOOlmates. Master Bren-
nan, il VIII be remembered, took the prize medal
for spelling in the late contest amongst all the
male grammar schools OF the city. The number
of pupils enrolled during the year at this school
was 6. At present there are As, Of which num-
Der AZ were present yesterday. IL is excellent
school, both a. regards government and the judi
c0us style of teaching, by which the boys are
taught 20 think for themselves and 70 acquire
something besides the mere husks OF learning.
