School Examinations.
rH e BArn STREET. SCHOOL

yesterday morning the object of atter--
tion from DIR. Lucky, and the corps of
visitors. The examinations passed off
very satisfactorily, doing credit to
the scholars and their teacher. About
forty pupils were present, all of the
Spanish race. In their instruction
Mr.. Saxon has been obliged to encoun-
ter peculiar and most embarrassing
difficulties, the principal of which was
the lack of appreciation of school adj
vantages by the class of people whose
children he had to deal with. The at
tendance was very Irregular, and the
interest in study on that account
greatly wanting. Besides this there
were the many troubles attending the
teaching of IA language whose idioms,
words and pronunciation is entirely
strange to most of the scholars. But,
Notwithstanding all these drawbacks,
Mr.. Saxon has laeored assiduously
with his school, and has accomplished
results which are truly wonderful.
There were no exercises from the
scholars, aslin the other departments,
that part of the programme rather be-
ing restrained for next Saturday eve
ming. The school is ungraded, and
the studies comprise everything in the
schedule from primer to fourth reader.
While the pupils evinced good progress
in reading and spelling they were par
ticularly forward in arithmetic, being
somewhat in advance of the scholars
of the same class in other schools
Those who attained the highest stand
ing were: Juan Carabajales, Christine
Willhart, Augustine Olvera and Mar
garita Willhart.
