RUFFNER SCHOOL, No. ,, JEFFERSON DIS
TRICr The examination OF this school, stu
ated opposite the city Aims House, and laugh,
by Miss Fannie L. Mills, took place yesterday
morning in the presence of County Superin-
tendent Carue, Messrs. Philip Rotchtord aud
John Slater, of the District Board and Rev.
F. Nj. Mills.
The pupils were exercised in Spelling, Read
ing, Geography, and Arithmetic, and the en-
tire school stood an examination OF two hours
without missing a single word.
The Superintendent then briefly addressed
| the children expressing his regret that their
parents were not there to witness the evidence
given by the progress. He had no hesitation
| In declaring it the very best examination ne
had ever witnessed, and he congratulated jet
I ferson District upon the possession or such a
teacher as Miss Mills, but for whose efforts,
many of the children present would have had,
perhaps, but very poor education. He CON
cluded by presenting his medal to Johu Dun
eau, as the best pupil 10 the school.
MesSrs Rotchtord and Slater then briefly
expressed their satisfaction with the examlna-
ton, and Rev F. NJ Mills concluded the exer-
cises by presenting a beautiful bouquet to Su-
perinteudent Carne, on behalf OF the feather
aud pupils. ----------
