The spelling of the first grade wus an
average somewhat above ninety per
cent. The second grade owing to lack
of time could not be Taught separately,
and had to get the same lessons and be
pushed along with those of the first.
All we can say about them Is that We eX-
pect TO be able to make better report
of them when they come up for trial at
the next examination. The words given
out to be spelled were all written by each
scholar at the desk. The same plan
has been observed during the term III the
daily Rotations. -Four written lessons
We're had every week. and on Friday the
pupils were required TO recite upon these
four lessons orally. The plan is an ex-
cellent one, and in time will surely re-
suit in bringing many to closer knowl-

which Front de Beuf holds them pris-
oners, and reporting their movements to
the hero of the story. The lesson in
verse was The Family Meeting by
Sprague. a piece full of subdued pathos
and difficult to render. Several of the
larger girls read with accuracy, and a
force of expression rarely attainable by
persons of their age Miss Ada Pixley.

mon vices of elocution. Miss Noteware.
Miss Crates and Miss Kelly also, acquitted
handsomely. The girls seem
to excel the boys in reading. But there is
room for improvement still: and if the
boys spur up and persevere in trying to
improve, the tables may be turned by
the time of the next exhibition. At the
close of the exercise Mr.. Howe an

very complimentary to Miss Ellis. that

AFTERNOON.
The examination was resumed in the |
afternoon in the Grammar School, |
taught by Miss Shear. The first subject |
called up was grammar, in which the
teacher examined her pupils very
thoroughly from the beginning of the
book through the conjugation of the
