through the problt MS III percentage
Two half days Were devoted to an eA-
hibitIon If what the class had done.
The test was exhaustive, thorough, COIL
plete. A great many problems Were
| given out for solution; Lot ii single oht
of which was taken fr...n the book, or
had ever been rlopounded before. IAr
problems given out during the examin'-
ton were similar to those in the book,
IN this, of coarse that they involved the
same principle OF reasoning. The class,
almost without exception. seemed to
| have a full. clear understanding and
comprehension of the questions they
were required to discuss. Grasplns the
subject of the various knotty problems
AS one idea. they stated the conditions
withou. confusion Of thought, ana!yzed
! logically, expanded the heaCs OF their
analysis by complete explanatory de
moustrations, and finally G,duccd the
| sole inevitable result (theie is 10 recon-
nlatics) through well ordered system
| Of reca pitulation The mental discipline
evinced by the children is certainly add
| mirable; while the charm aud power of
| their expression, also, if not wonderful
| may, at any rate, be set down as re-
narkable and rs rejecting peculiar
praise and credit upon teacher and
pupils. 1t was really an intellectual
treat that Mr.. Howe and his class of
young matheml. icians gave to the pub
lie, Yesterday. 1t Is truly a credit to
any boy or girl il Carson to have n
place in this -s:-they all did so well.
1t seems almost like severity to single
out any one for spriehtliness; yet there
were two or three boys who delighted
the listeners by their rapid quick de-
monstiationS; there was one young
lassie too, Notwithstanding the mumps
(Which We deny had anything TO do with
making her SO smart), who, probably,
carried off the palm by her remarkably
shrewd and rapid solution of difficult
problems. Here are the names OF the
boys ana girls who did not fail single
time during the entire examination:
Hannah Logan, Lena Cotton, Warren
Noteware. EuIma Cotton, Henry Kaiser.
