tendent Ladd, the Board of Trustees made
visit of inspection to the colored schools
of this city, on Augusta street yesterday
morning. The members of the visiting
body were, Chairman Maj. H. M. Bell,
Clerk P. B. Hoge, Messrs. Blackley and
Nelson and DR.. B. Sears, General Agent
for the trustees Of the Peabody fund. The
several schools, commencing with the first
room under the care of Mr.. W. H. Waddell,
were examined and found in fine condition.
The Chairman, Maj, Bell, spoke to all the
departments, in d very encouraging man
ner, both to teachers and scholars, assur-
ing them of his great interest in these
schools as calculated to raise the youth to
self respect, and greater usefulness in after
life. He expressed his qualification at the
singing, which DR.. Brown had just begun,
and said the influence Of music promoted
culture and self respect. The Board per-
sonally complimented Mr.. J. H. Hiser and
Mr., J. C. Calhoun the other teachers for
the fine appearance Of their respective
schools. Dr. Sears made some appropriate
remarks of appreciation, also saying that
the science of music, as here taught in all
of our public schools, was as much men
tai discipline as arithmetic OF grammar.
He also felt that singing added much to
the morals of those who engaged in it. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of the visitors
that our schools are already worthy of the
confidence and earnest sympathy Of every
friend of humanity. There are now near
ly 100 pupils in all the schools, and they
are under the best and most wholesome
discipline, and enjoying the most approved
methods of teaching to be found in the
country.
