The PILGRIM-In directing attention again
to the fine pictures which illustrate the beauti-
full allegory of Pilgrims Progress, we feel that
we are doing favor to the thousands who have
read the story of this wonderful Dream
Every one forms his own idea of the scenes de-
scribed, but few, comparatively, have proper
conception of their real magnifcence or the sa-
cred truths which they figure. Competent ar
fists have been engaged to put upon canvas the
pictures formed in the imagination of the best
students Of John Bunyan's writings and thous-
ands testify that after gazing upon these scenes
their Knowledge of the spirit of the book has
been enlarged and their faith in the truths it
images warmed and frightened Everywhere
the paintings have been eulogized by the press
and the clergy, who pronounce them the most
sublime work of modern times.

The West School is very highly spoken of by
the committee. Some changes have been
made in its corps of teachers during the past
half year, which initiates against any school,
but the present condition of affairs is very sat
isfactory. We were unable to get the teachers
figures.
In closing this notice of the Grammar
Schools we wish to remark that the progress
made by the pupils of the various schools in
drawing, has been almost marvellous. The
scholars have taken hold of it with avidity, and
the result at this early stage, indicates that
within very short time all the pupils OF our
public schools will have become versed in this
branch of really practical knowledge.
Friday was devoted to the examination of the
High School The February examination of
this school is not regarded as SO thorough
test of the work of the year as that which
comes in July. The number of visitors was
very large and the Rotations were listened to
with much interest There is the same earnest
work done by Mr.. Stone and his assistants as
that heretofore performed and which has given
tue school reputation second to none in Maine

Not absent during the term. -,

Without disparaging other schools it must be
admitted that the Bracket Street Grammar
School for girls, miss Harris, principally, is one
of the most attractive for visitors. The young
misses had decorated the school and recitation
rooms with garlands and emblems of ever
greens and autumn leaves, while the black
boards were filled with geometrical figures and
combinations, MAPS sketches and prospective
drawings by the pupils. The teachers table
also was spread with elegant pencil drawings,
colored maps and specimens of penmanship
The exercises were interspersed with fine vocal
and instrumental music; and during the GUS
tomary intermission there was an exhibition of
calesthenics practised among the general ex-
ercises" once or twice week. The strictly
mental discipline of the school is equally well
observed, and the recitations by the different
classes were highly satisfactory. The statisti-
cal rptllrn of this school is as follows.

The visitors at the intermediate School were
painfully few. This is to be regretted, for no
school deserves more commentator. 1t is
sort of half-step between the primary and
grammar systems, but is very important as de-

ing has improved within the past year; the dis
cipline is excellent and the boys have worked
industriously under the guidance of Mr.. Files.
