The Live Oak school.

This may be called one OF the hrst schools
in our city, being well managed and in a
condition of thorough discipline. Had the
reporter been stranger to the city, the
sight of the old barn in which the boys de-
partments are found would have excited
his surprise that any public school should
ever be held in such an old rOokery, but
having attended several exhibitions of this
kind in the same old concern, he has now
got somewhat used to it, though it is mar
vel that education of children, tenderly
nurtured at home and brought up in re-
finement as many of them are, should be
carried on in a shed in which a good man
would not stable horse. Nor is the Live
Oak boys building the only one of this
character Thirty thousand dollars rent is
annually paid by the board for old sheds,
some of which are not bit better than the
present.
For the purpose of exhibition the boys
and tie girls were both assembled in the
principals room of the girls school, which,
gracefully decorated by tasteful hands and
willing hearts, gave the room a refreshing
look, quite an offset to the impression pro-
duced by an outside glance at the boys
school, calculated as it is to arouse rehec-
tons the most lugubrious, as showing to
what we all may come-ruin and shabby
disaster. The exercises were extremely
we'll selected, and the dramatic parts very
well rendered Chief among the recita-
tions, that of Miss Annie Maddux, The
Raven" was particularly well recited. The
recitation of '' Fidelity" by Welliday, of
good The song, "What are the Wild
Waves Saying!" was sung in excellent
time.
