KNOXVILLE CITY SCHOOLS.
The Third Days Record In the Pub.
lie Examinations.

Yesterday marked another day e
progress, and very satisfactory at that,
in the public examinations in our
City Schools. We still advance in the
scale of grades, yesterdays ezamlna-
tions being in the fourth and hfth
grades, which consist of still higher
; branches of the elementary studies,
reading, arithmetic, geography, etc,
than those we have been noticing for
the past two days.
In the Hampden Sidney building
the rooms of Miss Ida M. Lee
and Miss Lizzie Lewis come in
for their examinations yesterday. Miss
Lewis room, which is in the fourth
grade, contains about fifty bright and
handsome little ladies, and Miss Lee,
whose room is fifth grade, contains
about forty, pretty much the same
size, and none the less handsome and
intelligent. The examinations in both
were eminently satisfactory to the
/ great throng of visitors, AID gave
/ forth striking evidence o. the thor
/ Cugh and complete methods of in
structiOn made use Of Miss Lee and
| Miss Lewis certainly rank A No. l.
| in the accomplish of teach
! ing, and there are very few equals To
I be found for either Of these ladies.
I They may congratulate themselves
/ highly on the very excellent exhibit
/ tioa made or their good work.
! Miss Hattie Champions room in the
Peabody building, is also an Interest,"
| ing one. She has about so boys and
girls, in the fourth grade, who passed
l a thorough and scTutinizing examina-
/ ton very successfully yesterday. Miss
/ Champion is one Of the most useful
teachers on the roll, possesses in an
eminent degree tie qualifications re-
qqisiie. Is seemingly wonderfully well
aiaptsd 10 her work, ana her absence
from Peabody school WUuld .eave
void which it would be difficult 10 fill.
Al the Bell House there were exam
nations in one room only, that Of w.
T. White. He las a room full Of boys,
about fifty in number, who are
we'll trained and looked af-
ter, Is regards their educational
accomplishments, as was clearly eV.-
denced upon the test 10 which they
were submitted. Mr.. White is thor
ough student, knows how to impart
knowledge and is doing good work.
In the room Of II. 3 Fry, in tie
colored school, were to be found an in.
teresting class Of abont forty-fye little |
colored boys and girls, grade higher |
than those examined the two days be- |
fore. They acquitted themselves quite
we'll indeed, aud evidenced the eff
cheney Of their teacher, MT. Fry.
The attendance Of visitors at all |
places was still largely increased, and |
the crowds were SO great the loom was |
almost entirely inadequate to meet the
demands OF the occasion.
To-day the interest Will still be on
the increase, a. the grade advances. |
There will be examinations in the
sixth, seventh, and ninth grades, in F.
the rooms as follows: At the Bell ,
House in the rooms Of L. 2. Moses and |
