difficult to overcome.
TIE fall term of our public schools
closed last Friday. The latter part
of the week was occupied by term
and final examinations, which were
of highly satisfactory character to
teachers and pupils, proving that the
knowledge gained by the scholars in
the part of the course just completed
is not for mere show aud display.
Never hefore have the schools Of
our city worked so tremendously
and effectively. The thorough sys-
TEN of grading introduced by Prof
Terry enables the teachers in the
different departments to graduate
their classes regularly and complete
ly, and not spasmodically or partial
ly as in former years. The teachers
seem to work in harmony and with
the same general methods and sys-
TENS, which has given the school a
unity that it never before possessed.
Friday afternoon was given up
to rhetorical exercises in the several
departments, which was highly enter
tanning ana instructive. The char
acter of these exercises was such
that it did not require the partial
suspension of the regular school ex-
ercises for work before hand, but
were prepared entirely outside and
apart from the reg gelar school hours
and duties. Such exercises not only
serve to amuse and entertain, but
afford the pupils necessary and in
structive drill that they cannot OBJ
tain many other way. Where all
did so we'll it would not be just to
particularize, but we would simply
say that some of the essays aud com
positions in the High School room
proved that Prof Terry has given
particular attention to that very i'm
portant part of child's education
the power of expressing itself in the
clearest and most forcibIe language.
The deciam ations showed that some
Of the scholars promised the talent
Of oratory in a nigh degree.
On the whole The term gust closed
has been one Of the most successful
in the history of the school.
At the close Prof. Terry repeate I
the invitation given by him, through
the press, at the Beginning Of the
year, to parents and patrons, to visit
the school and see what they are do
iug and to Judge for themselves if
they arc fulfilling their reasonable
expectations. lie did not claim that
everything 10 be wished for had
been attained, but invited fair and
impartial criticism as to the general
progress and efficiency of the scholar,
