Gentlemen The undersigned committee

ports OF the Special Committee appointed
70 conduct the Annual Examination of our
Public Schools, in June last, respectfully
report, from schools, viz: Nos. l, 2 3, 4, o.,
We, II, and II.
We regret to say that the reports from
Schools Nos. s, 10, II, .13, Is, and IL, have
not been received, more particularly, since
the unintentional neglect on the part OF the
committees may be attributed to want O.
interest on their part, in the. schools above
mentioned, thereby thw arting, in measure
the objects In view, WIS: The encourage
ment OF teachers and scholars.
From the report submitted we are pleased
to say that in our opinion our Public School
are in very prosperous condition.
Under the efficient Superintendent, aided b.
faithful and competent teachers, tn
|. scholars are attaining proficiency in tn
studies that are taught in the difteren
grades, fully equal to that which they woul'
have attained in any other school, Public o
Private.
The enforced: discipline under the rules G
our Public schools, taken in conncctio
with the facts that the retention and pre-
motion of our teachers as predicted on thei
fidelity and efficiency combine to produce rt
suits itself satisfactory, not only to tn
Board of Public Education, but to the citi
zens at large for we can now say withor
fear by successful contradiction that th
d poor mans children are now receivin
an education that heretofore the
. could not aspire to; and those we'll to do, {
y in medium circumstances, are having the
If children educated, without, as heretofor
S feeling it necessary to send them to Pa
u Schools.
