KNOxvILLE's CITY SCHOOLS.

Continuation of the Public Examinations.
Yesterday another day was put in very
probably and satisfactorily by large num-
Der OF our public-spirited fellow-citizens in
witnessing the excellent examinations of the
public city schools-that portion, at least,
taught in the Bell House.
The room of Miss Maggie Woodward, on
the third floor demanded first attention
yesterday. Miss Woodward is the proficient
and acceptable teacher of a room containing
about 40 pupils-boys and girls-in the
third grade, who are instructed in the ele-
mentary branches of Can English edu-
cation, IN a somewhat advanced state.
There is no better teacher to be found IN
the school than Miss Woodward, and her
everyday exercises, as we'll as examinations,
are sufficient proof of what great good she
is accomplishing
On this same floor are to be found the
fourth, fifth and sixth grades, room con-
tanning about 65 or 20 pupils, all boys,
who are under the instruction of Mr.. E. W.
Kennedy, who is assisted by Mr.. G. FL. Golf,
who hears Rotations in another room.
In these grades are taught the elementary
principles in a still further advanced stage,
including algebra and other higher
branches. Mr.. Kennedy is an alum
| nus of the University of Tennessee,
a thorough scholar, and apparently
perfectly at home in the school-room. His
assistant, Mr.. Golf, is also possessed of
scholarly attainments and experience, and
| the two together are doing good work.
The highest round in the ladder intellec-
tually, though its location is on the first
floor, is reached in the room of Prof. E. P.
| Moses, who possesses few superiors
as teacher, and who is one
of the fixtures of the ity schools. and has
been a worthy instrument in bringing up
them to their present standard of excellence.
He is most ably assisted by Mr.. J. H.
Pitner, a young gentleman of thorough at
tainments as scholar, and every inch a
teacher, who, though new in the harness,
is making an excellent reputation.
| 80 boys, or young men, rather, in the
seventh to the tenth grades exclusive.
Aside from the ordinary branches, those OF
the highest grade are instructed in Latin
geometry, physics, chemistry, rhetoric, his.
: tory, ETC., and it is a real pleasure to witness
how these boys of such tender years, some
of them, acquit themselves on these intri
cate problems and questions
This completes the seige of the Bel
! House, and when young man has started
at the bottom round of the ladder and gone
through all the ordeals till he is turned ou
with honors by Messrs. Moses and Pitner
he has then attained the highest efficiency
attainable in our common schools, and i,
ready for university or college
In our last issue, by an unintentional over
sight, the numbering of pupils in the frs
and second grades in the Bell House, wer,
placed at just half the actual number TIL,
teachers of those grades, Misses Cornick
Cannon, Caulkins and Nelson, each hav
two classes of equal number, one of which
attends in the forenoon and the other in tn
the schools.
To sum up, there are in the Bell Hous
now about $50 pupils, in all grades Their
have been $50 enrolled during the year. l
is indeed a live and fourishing school, and
noble work is being accomplished for tn
rising generation. The school here will G
ON as usual, while the other examination
are in progress.
