THE PupLIc SclIools. These schools
were MI dismissed yesterday for the holt
days. The vacation extends from Christ
mas to New Years, inclusive OF both.
The lust few days Of the school term just
closed have been devoted TO examinations
in the various grades and divisions. This
Is in accordance with the regulation oil tho
Board OF Education, which requires exami-
nations for promotion 10 be held during
the last school week in December. These
examinations are becoming more thor
ough and satisfactory year by year. They
are varied somewhat by vocal exercises,
such as reading essays, delivering speeches
and musical performances: III, Il, ,..ilt /,
Something over q year ago the Board
very wisely graded the studies assigned to
the Grammar Departments, so that CLASH.
hcation is now as complete in that depart
ment OF the schools as in any other. The
beneficial results OF this are two-fold: first,
the more advanced pupils remain Of choice
longer in the schools than before; second,
Grammar School pupils removing their
residence from one school district to an
othercan always be suitably classcd in the
new school to which they must go. Pro.
motion is matter in which the pupils and
their parents take deep interest. The
satisfied expression on the countenances
Of those who succeed shows this. They
feel rs il MI important point has been
gained, and this Is true. ..I. .4..t.
These last few days Of school have for
the pupils an additional interest, arising
from the fact that Christmas Is pressing
close upon them with It's time honored
custom OF merry making and giving OF
presents. The teacher and pupil being
thrown together in such intimate relation
it must needs follow that warm attach
ments spring up, which give rise TO many
acts OF courtesy and kindness, and many
little souvenirs are exchanged, valuable
as showing the kindly regard OF the donor.
Sometimes these gifts assume greater value
in themselves, and are gotten up and pre-
sentod with delicate taste. .,...E. 4.
Two instances Of this kind occurring
yesterday came t6 our knowledge. The
pupils belonging to the senior and junior
classes OF the Grammar room Of the Third
Ward presented their Principal, Miss
Meholin, with two beautiful pieces OF
statuary. Prof. Snowden, OF the Fourth
Ward, was made the astonishel rccip-
lent OF q magnificent picture. Of the grad
uating class Of that school. The donors
In this case were Misses Georgia Fender,
Jessie Wlcart, Matte Crowther, Mollie
Richardson and Mr.. John II. Thompson.
The presentation in behalf OF the class
was made by Superintendent Heryey. Mr..
Snowdcn responded In his own behalf.
The mutual regard and deep attachment
Of teacher and pupils were very manifest.
The schools will resume operations on
Thursday, the Cd day Of January, 1870.
