HAPPY HEARTS,
VACATION HAS COME AT LAST.
Close of the Public school Session
Interesting Ineidents-The Roll of
Honor.

The eleventh annual session Of the public
schools Of Chatham county closed yesterday.
and the scholars will now have long vaeA-
ton until the first Monday in October. The
usual pleasant scenes and incidents mark
ing the "breaking up" Of school were to be
witnessed. and the greatest good feeling and
kindness characterized the good-byes Of
scholars and teachers. The session has
been peculiarly satisfactory, and the
admirable results Of the recent graduation
exercises at the Theatre demonstrated their
efficiency and attested the excellence OF the
system. The vacation will doubtless be
welcomed by teachers and scholars, and We
trust that the opening of the session In Oc-
tober will find all in their places with
strength, health, confidence and hope to re-
sumo their respective duties.
We give now a brief review Of the closing
of the Girls High School, and list OF the
awards of annual certificates to pupils in
the several different schools. These certih-
Gates, it will be remembered, are only
awarded pupils who have been punctual In
attendance, correct in department and per-
feet in studies for five months of the session,
and hence those who receive them have
every reason to feel proud. We now com
mence with the
GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL.
This school closed its exercises of
the school yeSr, to the delight alike
of teachers and pupils. The girls have
undergone the fatigue OF the examinations
very well, considering the extreme heat OF
the weather. Mr.. Bogart and his two &C.
compIished assistants, Miss Dorset and
Miss Miller, have reason to congratulate
themselves on the result. The school began
the third term with eighty-four pupils, OF
whom fifteen graduated last week, and
thirteen left before the examination. This
leaves fifty-six who have just passed the
examinations for promotion, and we are
glad to say that all except two or three have
been successful, and are promoted for the
next year.
The B class have been examined in natu-
raj philosophy, Virgil, geometry, spelling
and English literature.
The G class were examined In Caesar,
algebra, rhetoric, natural philosophy and
spelling.
The d class were examined in physical
geography, Latin reader, algebra and spell
ing.
The following girls have received annual
certificates In token of their escaping all de-
merits in attendance, department and
studies for five months out Of the nine
months of the school year:

AN oRTHOGRAPHICAL FEAT.
A marvellous feat in spelling took place in
the G class of the Girls High School on
Thursday last, and the young lady, Miss Hell
en- Carson, who performed it richly deserves
commentator, and It is worthy of mention
In this connection. 1t came up quite acct
dentallv and was no part Of the regular ex-
aminations. She, with her classmates, had
passed all her other studies, and were
writing their Latin. Principal Bogart had
Just tested the B class In spelling, and find
Ing Miss Carson to have finished her Latin
early in the day, challenged her to try the
class spelling words. She modestly came
into his room and took a sheet of paper,
ready to begin. The forty words were
given out and written without the least
hesitation or doubt, and we are setting up
the type from the original manuscript, which
looks as II it might have been copied from
book. The feat is wonderful enough for an
educated adult, how much moro surprising
in Miss Carson, achO is not get fifteen gears old.
