QUE WINTER SCHOOLS
closed on Friday last. About fifty visitors
were present, among them County Super
intendent Lewis, Prof. Jehnson, and Misses
Northup and Jordan, teachers Of the high
school At Monticello. The feeling Of salts.
faction with the progress Of the school
seems TO- be universal. The sreoitstions
we're net - good, hewevsr, As on some 9TH
or review days, probably On account Of the
scholars feeling somewhat embarrassed At
the presence Of SO many visitors. Il h.s
eeen The custom to review every Friday,
and j 4dging by those, exercises, it is fair
to, say that the trai ming has been very
thorough.
SPECIAL MENTION.
While the pupils are nearly al prompt
and correct in their recitations, it will not
be making invid,ous distinctions to name .
few Of the best scholars in each principal
study, judging from the reviews. In hi gin
er arithmetic, Chester Johnson is the
quickest, and Harry Locke the most pro-
found, though it is hard to distinguish be-
tween those two snd Edward and Frank
Johnson. In slgebrs, Harry Locke, the
two last named johnson boys and Elizzie
jerks took the lead. But Harry Locke
though reaching deeper into the principles,
is not able to make a. clear On explans-
ton - the others. In mental srlthme-
tic the class 10 al so good that it is hard
for ., looker-en to distinguish Probably
Frank Webster, Willis Shaw, Ida Phelps
and Jennie Tollington will take the lead.
In grammar, Helen johnson WAS tho only
one who was announced - having had
perfect lessons always. In parsing and
analysing sentences, she was exoelled by
her brothers. In history, Frank Webster
and Rigby jerks stand at, the head. In
Geography, the choice is very difficult
Perhaps Chas. Stevens and Geo. Newell
were more self.possesssd, II not more thor
ough, than the ethers in the second class,
while Hattie Boyipgton and Flora Austin

Tho fact that Miss Kries has been On.
