Exhibition of Progress-A Good Years
Work.

Last week. the public schools had their clos.
Ing exhibitions of progress during the pastses
sion. 1t was highly satisfactory A good re-
port comes up from Mr.. Bowles, the superin-
tendent, the principals and teachers. In addi-
ton to excellent qualifications, zeal and faith
fitness have been prominent on their part In
the discharge of their duties.
The examination papers of the white schools
In all the departments were displayed In the
large calisthenics hail. and the showing was
very fine. Neatness and care were evidently
taught the pupils with other essentials In the
preparation of their work. Some OF those eX-
hibited are here classed-map- drawing, gram
mar diagrams, historical charts, latin transia-
tions, natural philosophy. algebra, geometry
&c, DC. There were perhaps dozen exceiient
maps of Virginia in the exhibition.
Remarks made in reference to the eXamina-
ton papers, map-drawing, &C., of the white
school, are applicable also to the colored. The
display there was highly creditable to the prin-
cipal and teachers.
Following are the distinctions of pupils in
their studies and the names of teachers in
charge of classes.
