HISTORY AND ENGLISH LITERATURE.

HISTORY AND ENGLISH LITERATURE.
PROF. CARMICHAEL: The committee
appointed to examine the class in his
tory and English literature submit the
following report:
We found Prof. KiZer's class in United
States history composed of the members
of the first grade, and completing the
work after years study.
AT the request of the committee the
teacher conducted the recitation in his
usual manner. About three-fourths OF
the class entered upon the discussion of
the topics with zest and animation, ex-
hibiiing a clear comprehension, some
research and not a little independent
thought In short, the ends for which
history is taught in schools seemed to
be attained, the foundation for future
study well laid, and methods of study
we'll understood.
We hope the class fully realize that
while the teachers work closed with
that recitation their own work had Just
begun.
The class in English literature was
the middle class of the High school. 1t
was q great pleasure to listen to
their story of the beginning of Ian
guage aud literature. Every mem
Der of the class joined earn
estlY and intelligently in the work of the
hour. and although there was an occa-
sional Indebtedness of statement, the
coming months of continued study can
net fail to remove all want of clearness.
We are sure that the. methods of in
struction will inspire this bright class
with love for this long-life study
which pupils ought always to acquire in
the class room.
We next listened to fine recitation
by the senior class in modern history
The topics were well selected by the
teacher, Miss Sedgwick. There was a
dignity of manner, an ease of expires.
sion and breadth of thought IN these
Young students which always delights
the loYer of our public schools. At first
there seemed "bookishness" about the
recitation, but scores of questions well
answered, dispelied that idea. We con,
graduate the class upon the success o.
this, their last oral examination in the
Emporia High School.

MISS DUDLEY's DEpARrMENr.

PRoF. P. ]. CARMICHAEL, SUPERIN-
TENDENT-DeGr Str: Having been no.
tiled to act as part of the examining
committee of Miss Dudley's class in the
Third ward school building. we con-
scented to act and were at our post at the
appointed hour. We found Miss Dudley
to be a very pleasant lady, and one who
seemed to have the best interests of her
class at heart Very good order was OBJ
served during the sessions. In reading
and arithmetic exercises the pupils did
good work, showing careful training
and hard study. The geography class
recIted on the map of Kansas, showing
a familiarity with the geographical sec
tions oil our state which would reflect
credit to the knowledge OF some older
persons. The spelling class was in gen.
eral as good as in some of the more ad
vanced grades. In conclusion, would
say we were we'll pleased with the work
of the class in general; We think that
with some of the boys stricter discip-
line should be kept, and better work
could thus be obtained.
Very respectfully,
Mis-. e. HUI.
