 The annual meeting of the Alumni associa- tion of the Hillhouse High School will be held on Friday evening, the 22nd inst, in the High School hall at 8 o'clock. The geo. retary will read his report, officers for the ensuing year will be elected, and reunions of different classes will be held. The especial feature of the evening will be an interesting lecture by Prof. R. F. Leighton. of Brook Iyn, N. Y., on ''The System of Education in Ancient Rome" All graduates and former members of the school are invited to be present without further notice, and seats will be reserved for them. To the remaining space the public is cordially welcome. The total number of candidates for the High School from the different grammar schools is 192, divided as follows: Webster 33, Eaton 19, Wooster 26, Dwight 32, Skinner 2G, Washington 21, Woolsey 26, Hamilton 9. A few of these will not enter for the examination, as they will seek en- ployment and engage at once in the strug- gle for subsistence, but with the additional candidates who will apply for the examina- | tion from the private schools and from out ! of the city, there will be fully 200 who will
 enter the field for admission to the High School. Last year the total number was 176. The superintendent of the schools has been engaged in examining the candidates for the
 High School in reading and spelling and has | completed this work, which has been done at the grammar schools. The scene of the
 remainder of the ordeal occurs at the High
 School and begins on Friday morning. On | Friday the examination will be in the history | of the United States. Next Monday the I candidates will wade through the deep waters l in an examination in English grammar, and on Tuesday they will meet with correspond | ing sorrow in examination in arithmetic The reports in drawing and music have most ly been handed in by the respective profes- sors in these departments, Messrs. Bail and
 Jepson.
