PRoF. CARMICHAEL, Superintendent
City Schools s. Dear Sfr:-It is my
pleasing duty to report that on the 10th
inst. / had the honor of attending the
examination of two classes in Mr..
Kizer's department-one in history, in
GLIDING thorough Inqpiry into the ORR
gin of the first settlement of North
America-the other in botany. In each
the pupils did we'll, evincing familiar
and intelligent knowledge with the sub
Jects. The answers, both TO the exam
iner and visitors, were, il seemed to me,
fully comprehended, as they were salts
factory TO me. And / consider that
their answers and manner, or style, were
alike creditable TO the taught and the
teacher. l regretted that another press
ing duty hindered me being present in
the afternoon. And, if 1 may add q
word or two in general OF the High
school, it will be to say that at each
previous visit was much pleased with
what l heard and saw. Very respect
fully, H. MAcKAY.
MISS wATsoN's DEPARTMENT.
SUPERINTENDENT P. j. CARMICHAEL
Dear Sir: AS one designated by you
to attend the examination of the school
of Miss n. j. Watson in Garfield
school building on Friday, March 18th,
/ would respectfully beg leave to report
that attended the examination both in
the forenoon and afternoon. must ad-
nit that was pleasantly surprised.
saw nothing but what met my most
| hearty approval and commentator.
Miss Watson certainly understands her
| business and her scholars appeared to
understand theirs. The scholars were
subjected to tests which were almost
| unanimously met promptly and ably.
For instance in history and geography
| the scholars were handed slips of pa
| per On which were written the subject
they were required to rehearse, and
nothing undaurted the scholars rose
Immediately in their seats and gave the
| facts.
In arithmetic they were also handed
slips of paper upon which examples
we're written, and in fash those exam
Piles were on the blackboard performed
and the theory explained. So in gram
mar, The concert reading, as well
as individual reading was excellent.
The department of the scholars was
| good. Miss Watson commands the re
spect other pupils and she is a hard
and rapid worker; she looses no time !;
everybody in school has to work and
she sets the example. I noticed partic-
ularly the complete arrangements Of the
recitIng classes. Thirty scholars would
leave their seats and take their places
at the board with no noise; each had
their assigned place and there was no
/ confusion nor lost time.
/ I can only say IN conclusion that
never passed day more pleasantly and
I am sure that Miss Waison's scholars
see and appreciate her ability and real
| lze that it is their duty to profit by it.
and in proof of this you have only TO at
tend her school one day and see its ex.
cellence. Respectfully,
/ CHAs. FLETCHER

Senator Dayi. Makes N speech.

In The United States Senate on Monday
last Senator Davis of This State made
speech in favor of the bill 10 enlarge the
bowers and duties OF the Agricultural De-
partment, or i'm other words TO make an
executive department OF it. The Senator
said that the prosperity, and indeed, the
life Of Il country, depended largely upon
its industrial pursuits, the chiet OF which
were agricultural, mining, turing
and commerce, and it was necessary II AZ
there >houlG be u separate department of
the government to care for the greatest Of
these, agriculture.
Mr.. Davis embodied in lis speech sew
erl Interesting tables. One of these
showed. he said, that about ~ per cent of
our exports is derived from agriculture.
Another showed that the average duty Oh
articles used by the farmers of The coun-
try Was abont 20 per cent. From another
it appeared that the value of our corn,
hay and cotton crop alone for Il single
wear was one billion four hundred million
dollars, and, according to the estimate OF
the Bureau Of Agriculture, the entire
farm products ia locl were worth about
three and Onc-half biiliOus-more than
our entire national debt.
