Mead. A. NJ, Principal, closed Tuesday,
Move. u ., after aprosperous session. The
examination by The State Board Of Educa-
ton both oral and written, for two days, was
moro than usually thorough, and proved
emnen,ly satisfactory to alt. During the
term, there have been connected with the
chool l2U pupils; twenty-five in the Pre-
paratory Department, and ninet y-hve IN
the Normal Department. OF this latter uum-
Der, sixty -tive are ladies, and thirty gem
tlemen. They represent thirty.two towns
in our own State, two in the State Of LII.
inois, and one in the Province Of Quebec.
Fifty-nine of these students have been
connected with the school for more than
one term twelve have been pursuing the
studies Of the second course; forty have
received State aid, aud have thus obigat-
ed themselves 10 complete the first course

to teach in the State for two years there

course. ar.iE gsi
The record of examination shows per.
centage as high as any for two years. y.
Of quite a number who came here this
term with the hope of being able to grad
uate at its close, nearly all found them
selves cut off from the attempt by the
rule Of the Board Of Education, which re.
quircs attendance at one of our Norma
Schools for full Academic year, before
presenting themselves for examination. II
is hoped that after one more term in the
school they will be fitted so much better
for their work as to compensate them fol
their disappointment ,5 81 raua
