imous in their opinion, from what they
saWsand heard at this time, that this
school was in a most prosperous condi-
and that the pupils could not have &C
quilted themselves SO well, except as
the result of constant, faithful work on
their own part as well as on the part of
their teacher. The reading classes
were especially noticeable as having
been well trained and did themselves
great credit. In Geography good de-
gree OF proficiency was shown; and in
Mental Arithmetic the classes evinced
a knowledge Of the subject which was
! clearly the result of hard work and
good training. The department of the
scholars was excellent, the room neat
and tidy, and it was apparent that the
teacher in the multiplicity of her cares
was not unmindful of the physical
welfare of her charge, The attention
of your committee was especially at
tracted to one feature of this school,
and the one perhaps to which the sue
cess of Miss Monaghan may in a great
degree be attributed. Namely: the
feeling of respect and regard which the
pupils seemed to evince toward their
teacher and the existence of that mu-
tual confidence between the teacher
and her pupils which is so essential in
every well-conditioned and successful
school. Your committee would con-
graduate the Board on the evident sue
cess Of this school, Jno. w, Hayes,

tee appointed to attend the examina-
lions Of Miss Eta Hannah's Depart
ment in the .Durkee school, would
report that they were in attendance
at the time specified and were much
gratifed with the result From the
circumstances of the case your COM
mittee cannot make any detailed re-
port, but would say that the scholars
eyinced good degree of proficiency in
all the branches taught, and it was
manifest that the teacher had labored
hard and faithfully. The excellent
manner in which the scholars acquit-
ted themselves and the general appear
ance of the school assured your COM
mittee that it was in fourishing con-
Idition and under successful manage
ment. j. l.. HeWett, Chm.

j. w. Hayes, SUBTITLE Committee
appointed for the Primary School in
the North Ward were all present and
enjoyed the exercises very much. The
writing of the different scholars was
examined and was considered remark
ably good good for such small children.
In reading the expression was good and
the children showed that they under
stood what they were reading about
A class of beginners in geography did
themselves as we'll as their teacher
great credit. AS a whole the commit
Tee declared themselves well pleased
with the school. III. Hansen, Chm.

Through inadVertance or press OF
\ other duties some of the committees
i have failed to send in report.
The chairman of the committee ap-
lDOluGEut t1OI UIlCi 1nUC1 A1ICA1(tUV 1OOpCtA v
ment of the North Ward School, (Mr.
Harvey Wattles, Teacher) informs me
that he was obliged to be absent from
the city on the day Of the examination
: and therefore was unable to attend, but
he assures me as have others who re.
. side in the north ward that Mr.. Wat.
tie; is doing good work and that the
school is progressing much to the sat
isfaction of all interested.
The report of the committee appoint
ed for the First Primary department
Of the Durkee School Miss Mcintyre
! Teacher,) is also wanting.
I have visited this school and it is
very apparent that the teacher is labor
, inc faithfully and successfully with
!, her charge. There is no position il
E life which requires more Of the better
4 uualities of head and heart, than that
of the primary school teacher. Miss
Mcintyre shows herself the possessol
q of many Of these qualities in the able
: and efficient management OF her school
Il may perhaps be allowed to add thai
! the public schools Of this city are al
: in good condition and successful ope
llration. We have no institution in oul
midst more important, or that calls fol
Z the thoughtful interest and fostering
care of all our citizens more than oul
public schools; and | would urge upo1
all the Importance Of manifesting theil
interest by an occasional visit to Thu
several schools. aI
