The closing examinations Of this school occurred
last Tuesday and Wednesday, but as the larger
portion Of the work came on Wednesday, and We
went to press in the early part Of that day, the
larger part Of the report was laid over till this
weeks issue OF the wATcHMAN
Miss Abbott In No. 3, had oral work through
out the day Wednesday. In the morning we
heard class In mental arithmetic Keeping In
mind the age Of the scholars we were much
pleased with their proficiency. The closest at
tention was given by each member Of the class,
the answers were promptly given, and the analy-
sis Of the examples In most instances was good.
The school next gave several songs in concert
very nicely done. Miss Abbott may well feel
proud OF the success attained in this exercise. In
the afternoon there was very good examination
In geography of the United States
Miss Stone, In No. 4, had an examination In
the forenoon in written aritbmetic-common frac-
tons; and in the afternoon we also heard her ex-
animation in mental arithmetic. This class did
well. being better prepared than the class in the
forenoon. Arithmetics were used In both OF these
examinations, plan which we did not notice in
any of tho other rooms. Next there was singing
and some very interesting Rotations, closing
with an examination In geography.
