EXAMINATIONS IN THE SECOND DISTRICT

'PAiAt oAHiolttu ABOVE Cdnai street l
our public schools is not quite SO in,ens
below that thoroughfare still there is
laudable ambition in the right direction.
Robertson School.
ms school is in an excellent condition
The proficiency of the pupils, as develope
oy yesterdays examination, is the mos
satisfactory testimonial as to the qualifca
tions of the teachers. Mrs. L. NJ. Williams
the principal. should feel proud of he
scholars, and can take to herself the prais
OF having one of the best regulated school
IN the entire city. On the rolls of the schoo
are 3o6 names. There are eight candidate
for the High School. Mrs. Williams ha
the following assistants: Mrs L. Myers
Misses NJ Riley, E. Hilariot, G.. Cooper. L
Laurent and Mrs. A. Pluche Mrs. Myers
the first assistant, Is an able co-worker o
the principal, and for the fine showing mad,
by her pupils yesterday is entitled to mucl
praise. The exhibition exercises were of ;
high order of merit, the recitations beins
well delivered. The musical portion of tn,
exhibition was rather above the average.
BienvilIe-BOys.
The principal of this progressive ant
fourishing school is Mr.. James C. Wingard
While deserving great credit for his ability
as teacher, Mr.. Wingard is particularly
efficient as a disciplinarian. His assistant,
are, Mr.. Thomas j. Flanagan, Misses NJ. j
O'Neil, Ella Brown, M. E. Cuggy, Susar
Sherlock, Kate E. Devine and Mrs. A
Hubert. The number OF pupils on roll il
359. The average daily attendance is quite
large. Eight applicants are up for admis
sion to the High School.
There was no formal display or exhibition
at this school yesterday, the chief attention
of the teachers being directed to rigid
examination of the pupils. The result Of
the examinations was eminently salts
factory, the scholars showing great readi
ness and correctness.
rbigny-Boys and Girls.
The discipline of this school is very good,
and the pupils are making rapid progress
The building used as a schoolhouse is total
ly unfit for such a purpose. It was con.
demned in the last annual report of the
Superintendent of Education. The rooms
are small and ill ventilated. They are worse
than uncomfortable; they are positively un-
healthy. The number of scholars is about
l0O-sixty boys and forty girls Mr. B.
Wayne is the principal, and his assistants
are Misses L. D. Watson, G. Keppard and
Emma Moore. The examinations yesterday
furnished satisfactory result, the pupils
under charge Of Miss Emma Moore show
ing marked progress and able training.
The exhibition exercises were held in St.
James Hall, across the street from the
school building. 1t was found necessary to
have the exhibition there, as the school
building is totally inadequate for such a
purpose. The exercises, which were of the
usual kind, were Of fair order. We would
make special mention of the dialogue
(Which Did the Best" by George Boutin,
Francois Eugene, Emile Mason, Joseph
Hostin and Albert Jefferson.
ClaibOrne-Boys.
L
Peter and Claiborne streets, is not as full or
as it was years back. There is an
Indifference on the part Of portion of the
parents and pupils which has placed it in
the background, comparatively. However,
The teachers are toiling to the best of their
abilities, and may in time find success.
There are 342 names on the roll, but the
1umb Der in attendance yesterday was short
If that figure. The roll Of honor consists of
Masters Charles Cazelor, Thomas Smith.
Frank Tisdale, Charles Tisdale, Placide
Spear, Raoul Spear, William Tisdale, Au-
.uste Routz.
Teachers-Mr. R. S. Stuart, principal;

siroux, first assistant; Miss G. Stuart,
econd assistant; Miss NJ. O'Brien, third as
istant; Mrs. M. Westerfield, third assistant;
Iiss A. Yeiser, third assistant: Miss A. Nc
;ord, third assistant.
HospitaI-Boys and Girls.
Three hundred and fifty boys and girls
re crowded into rooms which would be
cry fair for one-half that number. The
chool, as whole, is excellent, having
lade the average amount of progress.
'arents seldom visit the building, and were
not for the presence of an uncommonly
ood corps of teachers the children might
ecome Indifferent. Eight pupils will prob
bly, go to the High School
