THE SCHOOLS.
CLOSING EXERCISES OF THE CAPITAL
GRAMMAR SCHOOL YESTERDAY.
Promotions Literary Programme The
superintendent's Yearly Report
Election Of Teachers,

tracted large congregation OF interested
parents and spectators. The occasion was all
the mora interesting because Of the fact that
outside Of the primary grades none of the
schools of the city have had closing exercises
to which the general public was invited It
is understood, however, that next year such
arrangements will be made that the usual
public exercises may be held by the other
schools, as in the past. The Capital Gram
mar School has every reason TO be proud Of
it's entertainment yesterday. There was
nothing in it TO indicate that the pupils had
prepared for it TO such an extsnt as to dis
tract their attention from their studies, or to
hinder them in their daily duties. Il was
rather q simple hour of pleasing recitation
and music by pupils to whom the tasks
were no burden, but rather recreation.
The result was that the spectators
entered into the spirit Of the enter
taiument. and it took on the form Of very
pleasing reunion as a fttirg close TO the
school term. Professor johnson, the Princi.
pal of the school, presided. and the corps Of
efficient teachers aided hin in marshalling
the classes aCd preserving order in the rooms
and halls. Three Of the largest rooms were
thrown into one for the purposes OF the as,
sembly, but proved entirely inadequate to
the demands Of the audience, and large
number Of the pupils had to he excluded in
order to afford room for the visiting citizens.
Directors Stevens, Goodhue, Hancock and
Slater were present and Superintendent
Lame. Over the central wall OF the room
was the class motto for 1888 worked in ever
green" No footsteps backward" The schol-
ara marched IN 20 the tune Of a march played
by Miss DUggan, who presided at the piano
during the exercises Rev. 81. h. Rics then
pronounced an invocation, and the pro-
gramme was then carried out in the following

Awarding diplomas. Superintendent J. r. Lame
Those who took part were, by the confor-
nation of the rooms, compelled to occupy
csntFai rostrum with One-third the space Of
tie apartments back Of them, and with their
backs turned upon one third of the audience.
This was embarrassing, sud made it difficult
FOE the children to speak. Nevertheless they
acquitted themselves well, and while three or
four especially excelled, there was an even
ness about all that wss done that renders Is
unnecessary to psrticularize. The singing Of
TIE class, and the piano solos, were especially
entertaining. At the conclusion Of the pro-
gramme Superintendent Laiua addressed the
first grade graduates with timely remarks,
and delivered to them their diplomas. Their
names will be found below. Rev. g. M.
Davis and Director Hancock addressed The
school, giving the graduates especially advice
relative to reading and recitatiOns. Professor
johnson then dismissed the classes TO their
elsssrooms, where the teachers gave them
their certificates of promotion. In all the
clsss-rooms OF the building the blackboards
were ornsmented with examples of penmaE-
ship and drawing snd designing by the
pupils. These we're all good, none being be-
low creditahle grade when judged by the
age OF the pupils, and some Of them testified
TO superior ability. These drawings weTe
examined by the visitors for nearly an hour
after the close of the regular exercises. Be-
low are given the names of the pupils pro-
amotsd in this school;
