awarded tie above for proficiency. Last
night the teachers held an exhibition, pass
ing very pleasant time.
| Cadiz-Boys and Girls.
| Few schools are conducted with the earn
estness displayed here. Nearly 100 chill
dren, all prettily dressed and bright faced,
| are preparing themselves for work when
| they shall be sent into the world on their
own resources. Mrs. Clark, the principal,
assisted by Misses L. Prest and S. Duffy,
are meeting with great success, properly
acknowledged by the directors and parents
The furniture in the boys room is miser
able, but that in the girls department is all
new and Of approved pattern. The build
ng is passable, but too small. James

Narengo-Boys and Girls.
The teachers, after hard struggle, have
| brought this school up to good standard,
so that to-day both boys and girls take a
| lively interest in their books. The build.
| ings are rot Of the best and the furniture
| IN the boys room is unworthy the name.
| The girls are better off. The examina ton
passed of creditably. and, contrary to the
| general custom, many parents were present.
They expressed themselves greatly pleased,
| and well they may. The roll of honor en-
braces the names OF Margaret Winter,
| Catherine Woodruff, Emma Bruza, Robert
Flanagan, George Herzog, Thomas McPher-
son, George Medaire. Most Of these viii
aspire to seass in the High School.
| The teachers are: Mr.. Thomas Carpenter,
| principal; bliss f. Gordon, first assistant;
Miss c. Clapp, second assistant; Miss A.
| Leddy, second assistant; Miss X. Kelly,
third assistant; Miss Lottie Sterling, third
assistant; Miss Sallie Payne, third assistant
| Jersey School.
! The schoolhouse is low, fat ill built,
frame, one story building, located in a
| swampy lot on Jersey street, between
Nalence and Bordeaux streets. L. is a dis
| jointed, squatty sort of barn, that looks as
| though it might have been Intended for
campaign wigwam by some high toned
| building committee, who, in default of
| party success, must have sold the building
| to the school authorities. Bat be that as it
| may, however such a rookery came to be
occupied as schoOlhouse matters not now.
The question at present IS, can not the
school authorities find better quarters for
the largest and principal school of the
Sixth District?
There is no play ground for the children.
The little bit Of patch to the left and
front of the schoolh0use is doubtless in
tended as play ground, bat it looked yes
terday like muddy sdction Of an i'll
drained brickyard
The school numbers on its rolls some 200
scholars. about 100 boys and eighty girls. The
discipline of the school is good, the conduct
of the scholars being tar above the general
average. Mrs. Davis, the able principal,
has evidently trained her pupils well. The
boys particularly evidenced careful and
judicious control. There was nothing sub
n,!ssive or ahject about their demeanor.
They were simply manly and frank and at
the same time obedient and cheerful,
vivacous and ready. Mrs. Davis has for
assistants four Of the most accomplished
lady teachers in the department. Miss L.
d. Wheelwright has charge of the senior
girls and Miss Rosa Fry OF the juniors. To
both of these ladies must be accorded much
praise for the manner in which they have
discharged their trusts. Mrs. Gaiennae and
Miss H. Cusack have respectively charge of
the second and third room of boys.
The examination yesterday showed
high degree of proficiency in all the classes.
Nine candidates for admission to the High
School are now on the list
The school exhibition, which took place
yesterday at one o'clock, followed the ex-
animation. The programme opened with
Song by the whole school, The Alpine
Horn" which was pleasingly sung. Then
followed recitations, dialogues, reading of
compositions, interspersed with more vocal
music. We can not, Of course, allude to
every particular effort on the part of the
several pupils, but choose those that
struck US as being above the average. The
recitation, "The Spacious Firmament," by
Miss NJ. Neelis, was gracefully delivered
AMI feelingly spoken. Master o. Mandel
recited the serio-comic poem "Give to the
Poor in fine style. The dialogue on base
ball. By Masters j. Siren, j. Waidener and
H. May, was given with vigor and fidelity
to character that elected laughter and ap-
plause. Two littls bits of boys, John
Eeelis and G. Baquie. astonished us all BY
appearing in the role OF declaimers. The
former deprecated averse criticism by as
serting,
Great aches from little toe-corns grow
Large screams from little children flow.
Master Baquie pleaded the cause of Truth, |
that virtue as a pearl, in little |
poem about the size OF an oyster. The dia |
logue Domestic Grammar" by three little |
girls, D. Sybolts, NJ. Landry and A. Henry,
was nicely acted. Among the rest of the
exercises deserving mention were the r5ci-
tations Of The Rival Blacksmiths' by Fl.
DeLeon Marco; "Bozzaris," by Samuel |
liilger; $50 Let Ne Weep" by Frank
Neelis, and "The Poet and Woodpecker,"
by Katie and L. Fleury.
We can not conclude without again COM
Mrs. Davis and her assistant
eacbers upon the creditahle showing made
oy the pupils yesterday.
The Broadway and the Greenvi!Ie schools

he cause of education. Miss L. Purcell has
