McDODogh School.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Passing along Laurel street. on Friday
morning last, we heard sweet strains OF
music proceeding from that grand, old, half
gothic building known as McDonogh
Public School. Considering that all were
free to enter, We did SO. and found no
reason to regret it. We found there the
brightest and hsppiest looking group OF
children seen in many days. and soon
learned that that was the closing day OF
the session.
This school has shown on many occasions
what it can do in the way Of exhibitions
and the teachers, very wisely, concluded to
have NO public demonstration at this time,
the weather being so excessively warm and
many pupils having left. The pupils how
ever not satisfied with colsing without
to those faithful workers who have for ten
months been daily at their pcsts, instruct
ing them in those things which Will nj
them for future usefulness, about eleven
o'clock, assembled in the room OF the
principal, Mrs. n. NJ. Taylor, and presented
to her an elegant cake, with the inscription
ITO nv dear Teacher" also q very hand
some diamond pointed gold pen, paper
cutter and beautiful chrome entitled
FLOWERS Of Hope
All were received with Mrs. Taylor's
teachers also received from their pupils
testimonials Of love and confidence. Judg-
ing from what we saw upon this self-invited
visit, We could readily believe all we have
beard in praise of this most popular place
oflearning, and think that the School Board
may congratulate themselves on having un-
der their Jurisdiction, at least one school
that could not be improved. The most
noticeable feature Of the affair was the ap-
parent love existing between teachers and
pupils, without which no school can pos
per. The labors Of the year at an end, the
teachers laid aside their dignity and Joined
their pupils in their games and sports, thus
giving them food for pleasant thoughts
during the long days of separation. VIII
themselves any less SO, by playing hunt
the Lipper" and blind man's buff" with
those children! While walking home we
overheard conversation between two OF
the little ones. One said: my teacher
caught me three times, and every time che
kissed me and told me to be good little
girl; and she added, ''I'm going. to do it,"
Dear, happy little hearts, full Of good re-
solvea may they keep them. and may the
teachers and pupils Of the McDonogh
all met there again and look as happy as
they DID that day. VISITOR.
