{ Yesterday was the third day of the ex-
4 aminations In the Cairo public schools, and
5 while the attendance was probably no
: larger than on either of the previous
days, the interest taken in the work was
more marked.
IN THE PRIMARY. DEPARTMENTs
The forenoon was devoted to the et-
animation OF the primary departments in
the High school building. The exercises
were OF an interesting and entertaining
character, and they were listened TO bv
the large number OF visitors present with
satisfaction aud delight. The teachers
Miss Walbridge and Miss Armstrong, have
labored faithfully to make their school.
What they are.
NTHE INTERMEDIATES DEPARTMENTS.
In the afternoon, rooms three and tour
tauph, respectively by Miss Foss and
Miss i. nnie Pattison, were examined
aud as in he Thirteenth street school on
the day pre- vious, the examinations were
most thorou gh and searching. The
pupils were pu,' to the hardest tests and
the readiness an> ability with which they
gave their answer q to all questions must
be accepted as proof OF the
thoroughness ct the course OF in
struction they are receiving. Where all
! do so well it is per hars unjust to single
out any particular department or teacher
tor special praise; but We cannot refrain
from paying Miss Pattison and the pu-
pills under her deserved compliment, by
saving that the manner in which they
acquitted them selves was creIitable in
the highest degree TO both teacher and
pupils.
THE CoLoRED SCHOOL.
The examination of the grammar de-
partment of the colored school also
took place yesterday. As the exercises at
the various departments OF the schools
were all in progress at one and the same |
time, we had to divide our time between |
them, and hence spent but short time
in the colored school. But from what
we saw, and others have told us,
we are able to say that the examination
gave proof of great progress on the part
of the scholars in this department. The
classes in algebra. geography and arith-
metc were examined thoroughly. and
to all OF the numerous questions put |
them by the white visitors present, they
answered promptly and correctly in ev-
cry instance. The school is one Of the |
most orderly and attentive we have ever
had the pleasure Of visiting, and the
scholars all seem to be imbued with
single purpose-that OF making the most
of their time, and learning all they can
while the opportunity lie open to them.
Prot. Pinn, the teacher, is well educa-
ted and thorough gentleman, and takes
great pride IN his school. The high state
of perfection to which this school has at
tanned is due to his skill and energy as
teacher.
sPEECH.MAKING AND RESOLUTIONS.
The attendance OF visitors at this !
school was very large, and at the con-
clusion Of the exercises number Of those |
present were called upon to speak to the |
