Prof Melville, to make visit 10 the pub.
lie schools, was complied with by Us yes
terday afternoon, and we can cheerlully
say that we have seldom been so we'll
pleased with the manner Of conducting
exercises, etc, oil any school as with
those Of our own. Tho rooms are large
and well appointed, the walls being
adorned with pictures, and an air Of
cheerIulness pefvadiDg throughout. We
have not space 10 notice each department
particularly, and will speak Of but few.
The primary department, consisting OF
about 55 scholars, the youngest scholars
Of the school, and taught by Miss Pun
phrey, Is certainly managed in a very
credit0ble manner. They are already
being taught the first principles Of mAth-
emAtics, and can write numbers In a
style deserving much credit for children
oil their age; and II was amusing to see q
bright smile Of satisfaction pass over q
little ones face when he had made no
mistake and was praised by the teacher.
Room second, taught by Miss Cunning.
ham, Is composed Of scholars q little
older than those in the first room, and
when we entered class was recitine
geography. We noticed that the Atten.
ton during recitation was perfect; for
when one little chap gave Albany as the
capital oil Vermont, q dozen little hands
we're up and dozen little tongues could
hardly hold themselves, 80 anxious were
they 10 answer the question correctly.
We passed on through with but Q short
stay In each room, very much pleased
with the exercises Of all, until we arrived
away up the stairs when the little boys
hardly dared look" and knocked on the
door Of No. s; Here wa she "big boys and
girls" he talent Of the school, and
althoug h the more important exercises
had been gone through with, we were
treated with some good reading from
Kids Elocution. This room ia managed
BY Miss Greenly, who has been engaged
in this department for some time. All
these, together with some singing from
the scholars Of rooms Nos. 3 snd4, tended
10 make our visit q very pleasant one.
