grade, and occupies II room in the
High School building. Examinations
in this department were conducted
yesterday morning, and passed with
the usual credit to scholars and teach
er. Forty-four PUPILS were in at
tendance, all boys, ranging from eight
to ten years of age. We were present
during the examination of the class
in arithmetic, the subject being deci-
mails; and we were greatly pleased
with the ready knowledge displayed
in the troublesome numbers and
points. Upon the blackboards about
the room were drawings by the schol-
ars which appeared particularly mer-
itorous. One of an old castle in ru-
ms by Frank Thomas, a map of North
America by John Cline, house by
Edward Gibson, and sheep and
horses head by Eddie HUE were very
fine. The sketches were all nicely
executed, and showed an exercise of
care together with the best of training.
